Ah, yes! ‘The Fairy that Assists You with Your Own Daily Spiritual Routines and Practices.’ Here she is in her blue dress, holding a lit candle in one hand, her pen in another and proclaiming “I’m here to assist you to make space for this in your life.”
The South End Art Hop season is approaching and with it comes the 6th anniversary of me sharing my fairies with the world.
I had no idea when I created my drawing practice that it would have such resonance with others. Intuitively, I guess, I had a sense it would be valuable.
Now, there are so many people connected to these fairies! The stories of how the fairies interact with them fill me with such joy.
There’s a woman who daily uses both a deck and the app and she excitedly emailed me the other day that she’d gotten the same fairy with both, the ‘Fairy of Easy Errand.’ It was just what she needed to get twice.
Another woman wrote and shared she’d received the “Fairy of Letting the Realness of Life in and Breathing Your True Magic Out“ and it helped her reach her deadline.
Someone else sends me poems when her daily fairy inspires her to write one about it.
The idea for creating the ‘Fairy of the Day’ app was to make the fairy drawings more accessible and available to people beyond my local community. A great lead from Champlain College’s gaming program connected me with graduates who’d formed a company called Sundae Month. They beautifully worked with me to create something that presents the essence of Bluebird Fairies well. I love that someone refers to the app as the ‘safe space on my phone.’
Recently, I read through the reviews of the app and again felt the sense of community that has grown around Bluebird Fairies. So, I’m putting energy into promoting it. These are poignant times we’re in and I feel people could use the app to cope with our present uncertainty, develop opportunities and cultivate and/or maintain a sense of positivity.
