Foraging and Prosperity Fairies

Dear Friends of Bluebird Fairies,

I hope this find you well.

During the days of my ‘shelter in place’ I spent a lot of time walking in the woods near my home. Inspired by thoughts of food insecurity I became even more interested in finding things I could harvest to eat. This has been an enriching experience and a great reminder that all around us are plants filled with nutrients that often are overlooked or discarded to make room for other plants.

While our lives continue to have restrictions, let’s look for the riches around us. Here’s a fairy to support that search:

I love this fairy’s big smile and arms with abundant greens. His proclamations of gratitude spilling into speech bubbles;‘Thank You!’ ‘Ah, yes!’

Within our lives we can forage. I suspect you, too, have been finding old wishes and pockets of time here and there. And, maybe like me you’ve found true treasures- my grandmother’s typewriter, an accordion I, until now, thought was too big for me.

AND…there’s the Prosperity Fairies!!!!

These are four fairies a woman found at my Fairy Booth last summer. They were ‘one of a kind fairies, each framed and ready to go. She really wanted them to become Fairy Cards. And, now, here they are, the first set of supplemental cards for the Bluebird Fairy Deck.

Is your Fairy Deck (or your friend’s) feeling like it needs some enrichment? These 4 fairies: ‘Healthy Wealth’, ‘Your Life Efforts Flowing Easily, ‘Money and Connected Troubles’ and ‘New Truth, Choice and Action’ are ready to join you. You can find them here at our store.

Each set will arrive with the amazing Fairy of the Rat whose aim is to support ALL of our plans to flourish this year.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Fondly,

Emily and the Bluebird Fairies

Happy Summer!

Hello Friends of Bluebird Fairies,

I hope this finds you well.

There is so much going on in our world AND this is the time for planting earnest wishes for good changes in our personal lives as well as in our small and global communities.

Today, after reading words from Lena of the Power Path School of Shamanism, I drew this fairy:

I love her. Here she is, standing radiantly in the yellow light of the longest day of the year being the ‘Summer of New Ways of Being Here on Earth Fairy.’ Her question of “What do you want to see, feel, experience in your future?” will live in my heart and mind as I move through this important earth holiday.

I hope you can find moments to do this too.

Wishing you lots of light and love,

Emily and the Bluebird Fairies.

p.s. I will be in touch again soon to share some prosperity with you.

You Have Two Choices

Friends of Bluebird Fairies,

I hope this blog post finds you as well as you can be in these uncertain times.

When our community began to practice ‘Social Distancing’ the yoga studio I attend shifted gears deftly and my weekly class still took place. The only change was we were all in our homes.

I found the first moments in this new format quite emotional. The gravity of our need to have distance mixed with the greatness of being together, even if it was in little boxes on the Zoom platform on the computer screen.

Last week, Emily, our yoga teacher quoted Dr. Christiane Northrup. She said “In this time, we have two choices; down the rabbit hole or through the portal”.

Do you want to join us in going through the portal?

How can this time, no matter how hard or different, be an opportunity to relax and move into something new?

I hope you can find your way along these questions.

(and, if you’d like additional support for that- please check out this great poem for this time.)

Wishing you all the best,

Emily and the Bluebird Fairies

p.s. A friend reminded me how important it is for us to be writing our experiences of this time. My recollections are coming out in drawings and I invite you to check them out here. And, know that soon, I’ll be offering drawing workshops on-line and videos. Please let me know if you’re interested.

The Space Around You

Dear Friends of Bluebird Fairies,

I hope this blog post finds you well as we all continue to learn more about the Covid-19 virus and how we can protect ourselves and our fellow humans.

I have some good sources of inspiration supporting me as we move through this time.

Lena from the Power Path School of Shamanism wrote recently in an email-

‘The best thing all of us can do right now is to be flexible, discerning, focus on self care and stay out of fear and anxiety. Energetically, viruses and parasites feed on fear which is a lower vibration. Humor, beauty, trust, love and joy are all of a higher vibration and a better place to be right now. Be smart, pay attention, and follow your intuition.’

I believe that we in the United States do need to move into practicing ‘Social Distancing’ to minimize the spread of the virus. Here’s a fairy to support that-

The ‘Fairy of the Space Around’ us with her declaration of “I’m with you” supports our actions of distancing.

Jen Hofmann shared today in today’s posting of her weekly “Americans of Conscience” checklist-

‘When practicing social distancing to prevent transmitting illness, we can still greet someone with a warm look, a kind smile, hand over heart as a gesture of affection. We can laugh together about how awkward it is not to shake hands or hug out of habit, and remind each other this is another form of love.

The citizens of Italy–whose country is under severe quarantine restrictions–are standing on their balconies and singing to help each other feel less lonely. This is love in action.’

What my mind moves into is-WHAT we can do with this new space around us? Can there be more room for us to lovingly know who we are?

We will be exploring this new kind of time together.

We’ll be in touch again soon.

Take care, be well and wash your hands.

Being What You Eat

Dear Friends of Bluebird Fairies,

I hope this finds you well.

There is SO much going on. In the midst of it all, it’s important to keep connected to our selves.

I am greatly aided in this by picking, at random, a fairy from my deck of fairy cards OR seeing what my Fairy of the Day app has for me.

Today it gave me the-

….practical “Being What You Eat Fairy” with his suggestions of holy basil, avocado and spinach.

He makes us think about what we’re eating for our bodies. But, I’m also considering what kinds of other content and thoughts we’re taking in?

Take time to rest, eat well and enjoy beautifully written things, the full moon, the new light and so much more.

Onward we go.

All the best,

Emily and the Bluebird Fairies
