Dear Ones,
Every day of your life is a Fairy Tale Day. It starts with ‘Once upon a time…’ and you write the rest of the story.
What are you writing today? Is there an ogre? A villain? A fairy godmother? A prince or princess? What perils will your main characters encounter? Will they choose might or diplomacy to solve their problems? Will there be a ‘happily ever after’ ending to today’s story?
Do you understand the responsibility of being the author of this fairy tale story? You are not only creating the script for yourself to follow today but for all those around you. And every morning you start over with a new ‘Once upon a time…’ beginning.
The original fairy tale stories that you were told as a child and that you have told to your children started as illustrations of life on Earth. There was a parallel to the lives of those who lived at the time of the creation of these stories. There was always a villain or an ogre lurking around the corner. There was always a rescuer waiting to swoop in and rescue the powerless. Some original stories did not have ‘happily ever after’ endings.
Now you live in the 21st Century Earth world that is crying out for the hope in the ‘happy’ fairy tale stories. What will you do to contribute to that longed-for hope?
If you are feeling that your life seems like one of the stories without the happy ending then you have not yet embraced the concept of yourself as the author of your own story. Whether or not you have doesn’t alter the circumstances but it does affect your power to write the ending.
Look around you at your life and notice that all the characters are in some way a reflection of a part of yourself. This is not to say that every ogre in your life means that you are an ogre toward others. It is merely to say that there might be a part of you that is bullying the rest of you into seeing circumstances as if you are the victim of outside ogres.
The truth is, Dear One, you can change the details of the story to reflect the life you desire rather than what you feel you have been dealt. You are not the victim today. If there is someone who is abusing you, then get yourself out of that situation and move forward with your life. But if you are honestly looking for your point of personal growth, it will probably not be at the hands of the fairy tale rescuer that you might wish would charge up on his white steed and swoop you into a happy ending.
You are your own rescuer. You have the power to ride your own white steed into the situation and change things. Claim that power. Visualize the circumstances shifting around you to support your own ‘happily ever after’ ending for today’s story.
And if you find yourself moving into distress over the past or the future, then you are not authoring today’s story, and this is the only page in the book that you have control over. You cannot change the past nor can you define the future until you take the actions called for by today. Your choices today define your future, so make your choices about today in the direction of the future you desire.
Not every circumstance can be changed in a day, but your story today can have great impact on your tomorrow. Write the fairy tale you want to live within, today.
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Fill Your Coping Toolbox & Write Your Story
October 3, 2012 — RosemaryThe fairy tale of today. What a way to look at the start of every day!
‘Once upon a time…’ conjures up stories of princesses and fairies and wicked witches and rescuing princes. Can I really write one for myself today?
The real truth is that we ARE writing this story every day, whether we know it consciously or not. How empowering it is to realize that we can write our way out of sticky situations as the author of our own fairy tale!
This does not mean that every day happens like a Disney movie, but, if you notice, the Disney movies do all have a dark moment, a character who tries to block the hero and heroine from having that ‘happy ever after’ ending. But, in the end, we are left feeling good about what will happen next.
This past weekend we had a harrowing experience when our daughter was struggling for breath and 911 had to be called. Thankfully, she is on a healing path now (after an ambulance ride and 8 hours in the emergency room) and the doctors feel they can control what is going on. But the moments could have been tragic.
My first reaction was not to panic, but to go to my hidden helpers in other dimensions: The Divine Feminine, Reiki Masters, Spirit Doctors. I asked them to heal her and surrendered the situation to them. I felt a huge sense of calm after this, which all happened in less than a minute.
This is not to say that the Mom in me wasn’t concerned, but I never lost the calm feeling. I moved into helping others through this moment.
I wrote the story for myself.
This is not something that happens in an instant because you wish you could do this. It takes practice and intention and work to access this state of consciousness. But it does come with the work.
And so, in other areas of life, you, too, can work on developing your consciousness so that the resources you have to call on can support you in the writing of your story. If your only option for a knee-jerk response is to panic, you will be less helpful to yourself and those around you. And the story will get written for you by default.
Take the action to write your own story each and every day. If you procrastinate on doing the personal growth work that allows you to develop new tools, your ability to handle the crises of life is diminished.
A fairy tale life does not mean that nothing happens that is difficult to deal with. Most fairy tales have some life-or-death moments in them, based on the archetypes that are represented. Each day we live in the 21st Century can have a life-or-death moment in it. A life can turn around in an instant and we can be called upon to reach into our coping toolbox to find the most appropriate tool to use. This is when you want that toolbox to be full. This is why it is so important to work on your own personal growth work BEFORE you need these tools.
Identify the beliefs that are blocking you from the life of your dreams. Work on the issues you are unconsciously giving power to influence your life. Take charge of those circumstances that you can change. Shift your thinking about those that you cannot change.
All the power rests within you to write the fairy tale story of your life for today. ‘Once upon a time there was a powerful person who opened their heart to share the Love within with the world around them.’ That’s you! The hero/ine of the story!
