New poem from Lillian Darnell … This made my eyes pool with liquid love .. 🤍❤🤍
Peppermint in the sky above
Smelling like festive mints
sweet scents feel the air
Cinnamon dances
like brown snow
as cinnamon fades
through the dark
Pine trees sway and dance
Like wind and dancers
Spreading the …. Follow the link to read the full poem

Tonight Lillian was showing me the Fairy Book of Jobs. I asked her if she thought they needed a Reiki Fairy. She said “Yes” and told me my next step is to write down that I’d like to be a Reiki Fairy and turn it into one of the teachers at The Fairy College. They will get back to me. Lillian said that would be a really good thing there. She also said she may see me there later as she is going to the Fairy Library and it is at the college. Hope y’all have some sweet dreams on that note!! HA!!! xoxo

December 2020 Note: Lillian was 12 years old when this happened. For quite some time, every night while she slept she visited Fairy Land. That’s what this conversation was about. Such sweet, sweet, memories!

I am cleaning emails and came across this beauty …
Dolphins At Shore
On a warm sunny day, there lived a dolphin named Aqua who wanted to explore the human world. Aqua didn’t know that it was dangerous up there. A river dolphin named Lavender came down from the river and had said that the dolphin could go up. So the dolphin went up and 1 minute later she found herself laying on the shore. She couldn’t move so she just laid there until a young girl named Tacitus and others noticed her and the girl called for her father who was one of the dolphin helpers. Aqua got back.
She never went back up on the shore again. As for Tacitus, she went on to help other dolphins. She earned herself a nickname called Super Dolphin Helper Daphne. Then Aqua & Daphne met again while Daphne was swimming. Aqua kept following her so they started their own company and Aqua got a nickname as well which was Dolphin Assistant Spring. As time went by they both got older and then they didn’t use their body no longer. But Daphne transferred into a dolphin while Spring became a human. So Spring got her wish later in life.
They lived happily ever after.
