born to fly

Here we all are. Riding on this rollercoaster called life. We will ride the ups and we will ride the downs. We will laugh. We will cry.

All of this has purpose. The inertia of pain pushes us into territory we never wanted to be in. But pain lessons turn into wisdom. And wisdom is the key to the future.

Today I we are going to ride rollercoasters in Santa Cruz, California. I’m going to throw my hands in the air and scream to the ocean breezes.

I’m going to let it all go so I can spread my wings and fly…

Hugs xoxo,

postcard dreams

Copyright The Unicorn City

My motto right now is, “What the world needs now is mail, sweet mail.”

My postcard test runs are in full swing! I am loving seeing my art come in the mail. My kids are my first recipients of course…rave reviews so far!

“All this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings.”

Kathleen Kelly, You’ve Got Mail

My current goal is to work on designing one year aka 12 postcard designs to send out to kids.

Mental health challenges are heavy and prevalent now more than ever. My solution is unicorns with rainbow horns along with a heathy dose of communication support.

Thanks for stopping by to read the blog today! I love seeing your visits in the stats. Keep on coming back and that will cheer me on!!!

HUGS and LOVE,

dead end road

School’s almost out for Summer!!! I am not sure about your house but at our house we are soooo ready for relief and reprieve.

Some day’s it does feel like my feet are on backwards. It feels like I’m trying to forge ahead on the path of life but with every step comes struggle.

The butterfly struggled. Right before she came out of her cocoon she watched everything from the darkest space of her life.

And then, she evolved.

Life lessons are sent to test our capabilities. With each challenge conquered, we become stronger. Wisdom becomes our best friend. Our beauty begins to unfold as we become master of the prism of darks and lights within our mind’s eye.

Evolve forward. Walk towards light on the horizon each day.

Hugs xx,

i wonder oh i wonder

copyright the unicorn city

one day at work an upset woman came in to the office. she was distraught and agitated.

she said, “i just need somebody to SEE me.”

i looked her in the eyes and told her, “ i see you. i am here for you.”

some days we get bogged down in the events of the day. sometime life gets hard.

and, that’s life.

sometimes there is no better answer for the struggle and the hard challenges we face. we are learning on our journey how to evolve into stronger, more beautiful souls.

life takes us on wild adventures! are you ready for a wild ride???! buckle up. you just never know where you may land when you aim for rainbows…

i wonder. oh how i wonder…

connection is our power

copyright the.unicorn.city

has this whole quarantining thing caused your hermit-like tendencies to grow by leaps and bounds??!

mine too.

i have to remind myself that being social is healthy!!! hoomans = not the enemy. hoomans = connection. connection = life energy.

friend time makes us happy. when we reach out to text or…gulp…call a friend, a rush of happy endorphins fill my insides when they text back or…gulp…answer my call.

connection is our power.

the butterfly queen

image

In the enchanted forest of a magical land lives a butterfly pure and sweet.

All of the creatures from all around come to her field to eat.

She stops to smell the wildflowers and talks to everyone.

She loves to spread her wings and fly in the rays of the midday sun.

********************************************************************************************

Her kindness is known from near to far and everywhere in between.

No one can escape the enchanting gifts of the beautiful butterfly queen.

Her magical wand is all powerful and she waves it with a smile

Fixing hurts and granting dreams all in her fabulous style.

********************************************************************************************

One day a broken down horse came to ask her to use her powers

To make him a fabulous racing machine who could run on and on for hours.

She twirled her wand and he soon became the studliest horse around.

She waved goodbye as he galloped off hoping his happiness was found.

********************************************************************************************

Soon he returned to her field broken down after winning a race.

He laid down in the meadow while the butterfly cleaned the mud from his face.

He told her his wish wasn’t what he’d expected as he raced on day after day.

She told him that many free wishes were granted but there was always a price to be paid.

********************************************************************************************

“Excellence doesn’t come cheaply.” she said as she placed wildflowers into his mane.

She told him of her own struggles and that she had to learn how to begin again.

She said, “Sometimes life gets dark like you’re living inside of a cave.

But, wait till the darkness is over…hold on and just be brave.”

********************************************************************************************

“In my darkest moments in life, when I wanted to be free

and I was trapped in a very dark place all alone high up in a tree

I screamed for someone to help me out of the dark place I was in

But the struggle made me beautiful and stronger than I would have been.”

********************************************************************************************

“So be strong and brave when you run your race and don’t be afraid of tears.

Just know that every champion has had to overcome their own fears.”

With that the horse trotted on to his home just a little bit down the road.

The bounce in his step was back once again and he felt no heavy load.

********************************************************************************************

The butterfly queen still floats on the breeze ruling from her cloudlike throne.

She dances with dragonflies all the day long in their magical forest home.

She still grants wishes freely with love and always cheerfully with pleasure.

She always holds her wisdom back as she grants what each wisher treasures.

********************************************************************************************

At the end of the day when they all come to play in her field so vast and free

They always share their stories of the things they had wished to be.

The lesson they learn is a simple truth about loving life and it’s journey.

The butterfly shows through perfect example how life’s struggles can lead us to beauty.

********************************************************************************************

Struggle and pain will come to us all but the lesson for us rings true…

Will you scream for someone to help you out of the cave that makes you so blue?

Or will you put in the effort to go through the change that life has brought your way?

Will you become the butterfly to help others spread their own wings someday?

********************************************************************************************

The magical butterfly queen is the perfect example of hope.

She sparkles in the sunlight while through the clouds she floats.

She reminds us to treasure life’s journey that teaches us to try.

And she shows us through her courage how to overcome struggle and fly.
