Do you believe?

“Know you what it is to be a child? It is to be something very different from
the man of today. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of
baptism; it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in
belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear;
it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into
loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother
in its own soul.”

Francis Thompson

Do you believe in magic and fairy tales? I sincerely hope so since otherwise it negates the whole purpose of my existence. Naturally, over the years some embellishment of stories have taken place. I mean, of course Beauty didn't sleep for 100 years; that would have been just ridiculous and there were only two dwarves living in the woods with Snow White, but hey put these tales in the hands of writers and they prefer never to let the truth get in the way of a good tale.

I'm sure you're probably wondering who I am and what I'm doing floating around in cyberspace sharing my secrets. Well, I guess that's just what I am... a secret.... I'm a fairy Godmother (there are Fairy Godfathers too, but they aren't as pretty). Contrary to what grown-ups and cynical-old-before-their-years toddlers think, I do actually exist. There are quite a few of us to be honest, though I may be the only one with a blog (you'd be surprised how many can't actually read, let alone work a computer!).

You will most certainly have met one of my kind for we live among you weaving our magic wherever needed. Sometimes we'll be recruiting our charges into their dream jobs through our consultancies. Or we'll show around you the house you always longed to buy. We might even sit on the judging panel of a talent show (those roles tend to attract the attention-seeking among us eh Mr C?). We might even be supporting you through the tabloids, but beware if your Fairy Godparent is a journalist for they tend to lean heavily towards demon and as quickly as they giveth they can take away...

But I digress. More on this in the future my lovelies. I will explain how it all works. Where we come from. What we do, how we do it and why.

I will be back soon.
