Welcome to my story



So, here’s my first blog entry. Wa-hoo. Look at me fiddling with technology. Anyway, with the help of my Prince Charming I have named by place on the web. Inspired by my fairy tale life and a conversation I had yesterday with a soon-to-be retiring school teacher. We were talking about fairy tales and how unfamiliar people are with these tales that teach morals and life-lessons. When I was young one of my favorite books to have read to me was from The Story Hour. This yellow volume had nursery rhymes and fairy tales and The Little Old Woman and Her Pig. (Hooray for piggy!)

Growing up with Disney, I was also persuaded to believe in Fairy Tales and that Prince Charming would come on his white horse and we’d live happily ever after .... And I have to say, I’ve been pretty lucky because that’s pretty much the case. So welcome to my Magic Kingdom where Lady is Queen. Maybe one day I’ll even share the Tale of The Lady and The Toad.

"Our values develop our character & our character creates our destiny. When we're out of touch with our values, we are blown like autumn leaves, caught up in mindless routines...but when we affirm our guiding values, our lives are inspired by our deepest beliefs." ~Diane Dreher, Ph.D. Your Personal Renaissance

"Nothing is a waste of time." ~Rodin

"To know life is to love many things." ~Vincent Van Gogh

"...when pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure. One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it, unless it has all been suffering..." A. Elliot in Persuasion by J. Austen
