A few days ago, I left my studio and went on a whimsical solo trip to a fairy village to rediscover my magic and recover from the intense morning chaos that is school drop-off. #ifykyk
So I found myself at this amazing faerie garden village display done by local artists – and it was exactly what the doctor ordered. There were dozens of these intricately-crafted fairy houses that completely took my breath away and had me staring intensely in awe and wonder. It was so damn magical here.
My favorites were these little teapot houses with these tiny tables, chairs and other domestic accoutrement, and I squealed for 5 minutes straight because I loved it so much.
This is actually my second attempt at seeing the fairy display this fall. The first time….didn’t go so well.
My 4-year-old son didn’t take his afternoon nap and was about to rage stomp on all the houses, so I took my little ogre home and made a mental note to come back and enjoy these displays with some GD peace and quiet.
Do I feel guilty?
I deserve a break, and I need to treat the little girl who loves all this whimsy and wonder with some respect.
I need to fill up my cup so I can serve up a fresh batch of present-in-the-moment goodness with my kiddos once they are back from school and in need of mommy’s TLC.
‘cuz I can’t do that on an empty cup.
So let this be your reminder to take care of yourself, go on a whimsical adventure, and maybe rediscover a little bit of your own magic again.
Your inner kid needs it desperately.
When was the last time you treated yourself to some magic and wonder?
