When I stepped outside last night to take in our beautiful sunset … I caught a glimpse of the fairy princess that visits us. Laid flat on the ground and took some pictures of her twirling in the sunset sky show before she disappeared. Perhaps she’ll have her wings showing next time!

Lessons she’s learned and emotions she has experienced with the wisdom words you have shared woven throughout? WOW and just, WOW! xoxo

This sweet little delicate hand. She found this leaf yesterday on our walk around the lake. She brought it all the way home, then released it in the wind. She asked me to take a picture of it. Due to sensory issues I don’t get to hold that sweet little hand in mine, don’t get to snuggle up close to her, and don’t get to smother her with kisses. I’m taking this sweet little hand in mine (in my imagination) and we are about to begin a fun adventure. She and I are going to put our imaginations and hearts together and write our first children’s book. Let’s see what we come up with. The ideas must be inside of us for a reason. Time to release them just like that beautiful leaf. xoxo
**Update** November 5 2017: Want to help? “Where Would You Fly and Other Magical Stories” is in the final stages of editing. Then our angel helper will be adding Lillian’s artwork and transforming into a book format.
It would be an incredible blessing for Team TLC to pre-sell 10-50 copies of the book. It should arrive by end of November 2017 at the latest. Plus you will receive a special gift for pre-purchasing. xoxo

These two awesome little people I know gave me a beautiful gift last night. Thomas and Lillian were playing in the backyard yesterday afternoon when Thomas got a bit too rough pulling her around and she fell. She scraped her foot and tore a hole in her brand new pants that she adores … cause they *sparkle*!!
She was pretty upset with him and he was upset that he did that and upset that he has to be so gentle with her since she falls easily. After I got her calmed down I went outside to check on him. He said he wanted to pay to buy her a new pair of pants. I told him they cost $9 and he said “Awww, that will take all my money.”
He then asked if he could pay for 1/2 of the cost. I told him that sounded fabulous. He went in and apologized to Lillian and told her of his idea. About an hour later they got together in Thomas’ bedroom, happy with one another again, and each wrote and drew something in this card for me. I think the three of us are a perfectly matched trio! xoxo
Lillian’s artwork titled “Rainbow of Emotions”
Ever wonder why we sometimes see double rainbows? … from the book, “Where Would You Fly”, by Lillian Darnell … I’m having fun editing. xoxo
Rainbow Love
This story is about rainbows and love. I hope you enjoy!
Once there lived two rainbows who didn’t want to separate for the love of nature. Their names were Candy Rainbow and Princess Rainbow. One day, Candy Rainbow was accidentally separated from Princess. What they didn’t know was the Nature fairy had split them in half.
Candy desperately looked for Princess but there was no sign of her. Meanwhile, Princess was where Candy wasn’t. She was anxious to find him but the Nature fairy wouldn’t let her. Candy got up to ask the Nature Fairy. What the fairy said, “No, I haven’t seen her. I didn’t separate you.”
Candy thought the fairy was being suspicious. Princess started suspecting the fairy. After a year past, they accidentally ran into each other. When the fairy found out, she was furious.
The fairy decided to put Princess invisible so she couldn’t be seen when they bumped into each other. Candy tried to explain to the Nature fairy that rainbow magic was more powerful than fairy magic. Since the nature fairy wouldn’t listen, Candy decided to show her what he tried to explain.
His plan was to use his magic and power to get Princess out of the invisible world. So when Princess saw he was stretching out to use his power, she decided to reach over and touch his stretched arc. Candy felt lighter somehow but he didn’t know how.
Suddenly the invisible spell broke. The fairy was shocked at what happened but the fairy had to vanish. “It was me who helped you, Candy”, said Princess softly. “Thank you, Princess!” and the rainbows’ love was returned.
Princess thought if people saw them, it would be easier to have one rainbow be invisible. Princess decided to go invisible but Candy was able to see her. Every once in awhile, Princess appeared behind Candy. That is why some people see double or triple rainbows.
(written when Lillian was 14 years old)
