222! awww! Maybe I was meant to fill in today ;) <3
I’ve been wanting to share this with you anyway (part of me thinks I did once upon a time ago…but reminders are nice too!):

Regardless of quality, keep doing your best – no more and no less than your best. If you try too hard to do more than your best, you will spend more energy than is needed and in the end your best will not be enough. When you overdo you deplete your body and go against yourself, and it will take you longer to accomplish your goal. But when you do less than your best you subject yourself to frustrations, self-judgement, guilt, and regrets.

I forget where I found it, but I repeat the bold section to myself all the time!

MEM:
:) finding a song I like on youtube!
:) SUNSHINE!!!
:) the support my lovie and I have for each other <3 he amazes meee!

What WONDERFUL things have you experienced today?!

So just when I was getting comfortable, devised a plan, the universe decides to throw me for a loop! yay! [a very sarcastic yay!]
BUT, fortunately (seriously), there is MAGIC ANYWAY!

Here is a list of my Awesome!
* a great night with friends dancing the night away! just brought out a boom box and had at it in public space :D

ANNOUNCEMENT: The WINNER of this weekend’s $25 giveaway is TARA! Congrats, Sister! :)  ~ Love, Sparkle Fairy

*************

Happy Monday everyone! We’re almost there, it’s almost the first day of February! This month flew by, and even though it’s not exactly the “end” of the month, I want to begin the week with a little purging. Let’s list our confessions, and if you want, list some things you’d like to get done in February! :D

My Confessions;

~ I’m deathly afraid of any kind of bug. I even scream at ladybugs! Well, when they fly around at least. Ugh, just thinking of bugs makes me cringe.

~ When I run on the elliptical and feel the sweat dripping on my face I love the feeling, but wonder if people think I’m gross.

~ I think it’s SO hot when guys are being active and sweat on their arms or neck. Mmm, boys. ;)

~ I’m pretty much addicted to “Say Yes to the Dress” and “Bringing Home Baby” – I even made my laptop’s computer of a beautiful wedding gown photograph.. What can I say, I’m a girl of fashion and love! :)

~ I’ve never had a Valentine.

~ I have surrealistic dreams.

~ Sometimes I think I’m psychic. It’s probably just that my intuition is strong, but it’d be fun to be psychic!

~ ^ I’d do anything to be able to read minds.

~ I overdose slightly on gummy vitamins. They’re just so yummy and gummy! :P

My To-Do List;

~ I’m going to try not to care about what people think when I work out, because in reality everyone is at the gym to focus on themselves. :)

~ I’m going to continue to go to the gym at least 3 days a week.

~ I’m going to take naps whenever I need to!

~ I’m going to try to stay open-minded about colleges, opportunities, and life in general.

~ I will SAY YES! [I watched Yes Man yesterday and thought of the Inspiration Fairies; I wish my life became as hilarious and wonderful as Jim Carrey's did! :P ]

~ I will eat healthy, but I will not deprive myself of what I want either. :)

~ I will stay Spicy. ;)

Gimme some confessions and tell me what you want to change! I love you! :)

De-cluttering is my word of the week!
I have spent this week getting rid of no longer necessary items from my house and I am FLYING high!!!   We are lighter, happier, more spacious and feel so free!!!!  I love seeing all the stuff I’ve donated and knowing our items will delight someone when they discover it and take it home to enjoy it themselves!  What a blessing!  I love that most of it is hitting the re-cyle and donation bins and very little into the garbage!  What a feeling of euphoria to embrace more space, feel so incredibly abundant and pass along our things!!!
If there are something(s) in your life that are weighing you down, bumming you out or getting in your way — I suggest taking a look at it and determining if it’s serving you and your goals or getting in your way!
I even wrote about de-cluttering in my relationship blog this week…check it out!
My Magic:
~  More space
~   My boys working really hard and all of us feeling so good about our progress
~  Fun reminiscing
~  Taking my boys out for a special dinner last night and having so much fun
~  Connecting with my boys
~  Knowing so clearly what to give away and what needed to stay a little longer
~  Feeling free & euphoric
~  Trusting and believing and KNOWING — really, really KNOWING
~  An overnight date tonight!
~  My boys now having their own rooms and everyone loving the change
~  A great energetic boost this week!
~  Less than a month until our entire family vacations together in Florida
~  Loving with all my being

There is some seriously powerfully positive energy out there right now!  I hope you can catch a wave of it and allow it to assist you because right now ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is truly possible!!!  I love you all!  Have the happiest of Fridays — ever!!!!!  <3

Heyyy everyone, and happy Monday! As most of you know, this past weekend I went to an all-weekend hip hop dance convention, and let me tell you; I am feelin’ pretty SPUNKY! I mean, more than usual of course ;) I felt like this last time I went to this Monsters of Hip-Hop Convention, and aside from learning amazing choreography and new styles of hip hop I learned more about myself. During the first day they have a presentation that two of the choreographers present called Creating Opportunities ~ it’s a company they made as well as a lifestyle they live. In a nutshell, it’s about appreciating and living your beauty, self, and life to the fullest. Aside from talking about those aspects in the dance life, they connect them to your everyday life as well. At one part in the seminar you are required to write and share 3 “I Am’s” and 2 new things you’ll do or try in order to continue to flourish and grow, so here are mine. What are yours? :)

I Am

Talented

Creative

Spicy ;)

I Will

Believe in myself whole-heartedly.

Apply my potential to my fullest.

If you want to be good, you have to work hard. That lesson doesn’t just apply to dancers, but for everything in life! My Magic for the day is basically all about self-discovery and dance, so I’m going to leave my Monday at this; Have fun and get it done. Now kick this week of the right way and WORK what you got! :)

I’m feeling some “TGIF” energy today!  This week has been a long week — full of lots of emotional upheaval — so I am feeling very glad to see it near an end.  I realized I haven’t posted here all week (which is very unusual for me) and it has definitely been a symptom of me not feeling my usual spunky self!  The good news — through a lot of that emotional unheaval have come some great revelations and new action.  Contrast provides it all!
 
My Magic:
Love and Understanding
Feeling like I can turn things around
-  Finally getting to my office and feeling good about the progress
-  My son making a delicious breakfast yesterday — sparking my other son to make a fabulous breakfast today!
-  The weather is warming up (we have been in some SERIOUS cold this week)
-  Taking photos with my camera and feeling so blessed to have it
-  Sunshine — especially because it has been so super cold
-  Letting go of the old and embracing the new
-  Feeling stronger today
-  Loving
 
I hope that whatever kind of week you’ve had, you’ll find the magic in your day today!  I know sometimes the magic seems all the more sweet when we’ve just come through a cloudy period!  I can just feel something extraordinarily magical is going to happen!  I can’t wait!

Sparkle Fairy and a Pixie

Glow Fairy started a post but never got around to it so I’ma gonna fill in for her…’cause I just gotta share some Magic! ;)

My Magic

* Running a small ad on Facebook for My Everyday Magic and it’s pulling 100%! How awesome is THAT?

* Really enjoying the building energy on our FB page ~ please be sure to check it out for some fun! ;) (and LIKE us, dammit!)

* Taking our doggie to Riggio’s and introducing her to Cindy-the-Orchid-Lady, her daughter, Jen and Beth. How fun to show off our Lilah!

* Three people have referred to Lilah as “Nanny” from Peter Pan! I think I’ll have to start calling her that as a nickname (and watch Peter Pan again!)

* Feeding my “inner child” for lunch: grilled cheese, chips, and a pickle, followed by a chocolate chip cookie. She’s so happy and fulfilled!

* Laughing at the silly challenges my children present instead of screaming ~ okay there was some screaming, but it was fake-over-the-top-screaming that made everyone giggle.

* Chillaxin!

* Baby napping on me!

* Not wanting to throttle someone (or myself) when I was awoken yet again at 5:45 am. ;)

* Beer!

What’s so magical about your Wednesday? I love you!

ANNOUNCEMENT: The winner of this weekend’s $50 giveaway is….JOYCE!!! Congrats, Sister!! :)

Spicy Fairy Workin' It!

Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day! While I’d love to write magic about this day that celebrates a marvelous man, I’m kind of distracted by some other energy… and that energy would be the one, the only, the fabulous, confidence! If you haven’t noticed from my new Nike shirt, I’m feelin’ pretty good ;) Not to totally advertise for Nike, but their shirts are amazing! They have these fabulous sayings that make you really want to work hard and be bold, like my other shirt “Kiss My Sass.” But back to what I was saying, I think it’s really important that we at least acknowledge when we feel confident because if we don’t, the times that we feel insecure will over power us. So, tell me when you feel your hottest! ;)

My Confident Magic;

~ when I look good.

~ when I look good out in public with my girls :)

~ when I do a good job on a project, homework, or test.

~ when I create something that other people find beautiful

~ when I drip sweat from working so hard at the gym! :)

~ when I DANCE! <3

My Other Magic;

~ a fun sleep over last night :)

~ dance today!

~ $HOPPING! <3
~ hip hop convention this weekend! :D !

~ feeling good! :)

If someone is strong enough to bring you down, show them you’re strong enough to get back up again. No matter what shape or size, you’re beautiful. If you’re on this site, that says enough! Keep on finding the beauty in your days, but never forget to flaunt the beauty in yourself! Now WORK IT! :)

 

Story Magic January 12, 2012

Filed under: MAGIC! — Star Fairy @ 7:41 am

The Star Fairy

I love a good story!  Whether it is a story told by a person, or in a book, or a TY show or movie, a good story is simply magic!   A story can be emotionally moving, inspiring, or just plain fun!  It can make a long trip enjoyable or help a child fall asleep.  I find that enjoying a story nourishes my heart and my mind.

How we tell our own stories is magic, too!  It can be such a relief to say how we really feel, to share a secret, or to speak our dreams.  And we can tell our story how we want it to be, emphasizing the positive, casting ourselves as the heroine doing her very best.  How we portray ourselves can affect how we feel and how we live… it’s a magic power we all can use!

MEM:

I love “speculative fiction” often known as sci-fi.  I love the future and other worlds as a giant canvas for imaginative storytelling.  Currently, I’m immersed in Dr. Who, old and new episodes, and am really enjoying how my 7yo son is getting into the stories, too.  K-9 the Doctor’s robotic dog, has really tickled his fancy.

I just started a novel called The Return of the Goddess by Elizabeth Cunningham.  I’ve loved some of her other books, and I feel sure I’ll enjoy this one, too.

The story I’d like to tell for myself for 2012 is that it’s the year I really find my groove for getting the necessary stuff done with the minimum stress, while remaining unhurried and unworried.  It’s the year I become increasingly present and enjoying the here and now, as well as thoroughly enjoying getting lost in fantasies.  It’s the year I deeply understand and enthusiastically celebrate my own true nature.

I’d love to hear about stories in your life today!  What stories are you enjoying?  What story would you like to tell about your life: past, present or future?  Please share your magical story with us today!
