FAIRIES AND OTHER REALMS

Fairies- from the Latin term for "fate" (fata), faeries (or fairies) are a "host of supernatural beings and spirits who occupy a limbo between earth and heaven" (Guiley). This is in recognition of the skill fairies had in predicting and even controlling human destiny.

Fairies

Working with the fairies is fun and exciting. Fairies are not like the angels. They are their own unique bundle of joy, amusement, and profound spirit. Fairies are much more cautious (a little more timid) than angels when it comes to working with humans. They don't trust as easily as the angels do. They take their time and watch us -- to make sure they can trust us first. They make sure our hearts are pure of love.

Once the fairies come into our lives, however, it becomes a life of pure joy and fun. They are playful and creative. They believe in celebrating life -- the way life was meant to be celebrated with love and beauty. The fairies dance in beauty.

When I first moved back to Denver and needed a new home, the angels lead me to two houses in downtown Denver. They were both older houses that had been renovated. I had a very difficult time choosing between the two of them. One was less expensive, but I found that I truly loved the other house -- which was more expensive (even though it had a terrible yard).

Unable to decide, I asked my angels to lead me to the one where I would be better able to do my work. They directed me to the more expensive house.

Believing completely in their guidance, I moved into my new home. Shortly after I moved in, however, fairies began talking to me about the yard. They give me visions of what they wanted. (I couldn't see the fairies, but I could hear them. And I could see them moving things around me. I knew they were "checking me out.")

It wasn't until 2006, when three of them actually showed themselves to me. First, there was Marco -- who is about 6 inches tall. He was wearing a red outfit and had short, spiky brown hair. Marco had his sister, Resha, appear. Resha is so sweet and pure of love. She was in pink (a color she loves), and had long brown hair. Resha stands a little shorter then Marco. Resha has a mate -- Tomas. Tomas, a very kind fairy, is extremely quiet and doesn't show himself as much. He wears a loin cloth and has long brown straight hair. Tomas and Resha are so sweet together. Their love is pure.

In February of 2006, they started talking to me about building them a fairy house. They guided me to collect things from the forest. In addition, a friend had given me some sticks he'd collected at Glacier National Park. The fairies kept telling me to build them their house, but things in my life were changing and I had a difficult time setting aside time for my little friends.

In May of 2006, they cleared a day for me -- and told me that it was time to build their home. I had no idea what to do or where to start. Obviously well aware of this fact, Marco told me what to do each step of the way. Resha told me to add pink, of course. And Tomas reminded me that I had seashells and chestnuts stored away from years earlier (which I had completely forgotten about).

Doing as I was instructed, I soon realized that I hadn't had so much fun in a very long time. Building their house, with their help, was an enchanting and creative process. I was amazed by the work we were doing together. I felt like a child at play. We used only natural things in the making of their home -- sticks, pine cones, moss, and tree bark. Then I made them beds out of sticks and dried leaves.

As the "foundation" for their home, I chose a tree stump that a friend and I found on the side of the road coming down the mountains one day. I made a ladder for them to climb up into their house, and then added seashells, nuts, and more pine cones to top it off. Then, of course, I added the pink. (While walking one day down an alley by my house, I'd found pink beads.) I put the beads on the top of the house for Resha. They all loved their new home and moved in right away.

Things went very well with my new neighbors, until they woke me up on the morning of July 20, 2006 at 3:40 a.m. -- just to tell me that they were ready for the yard to be fixed. I knew this would make their home complete, and I was grateful to do this for them because I had become tired of looking at the terrible yard. If I'd had the money, I would have done the work immediately. But I knew that everything is in the hands of the Divine, and all of the pieces to the puzzle have to come together in their own divine way.

The fairies, while I was still in bed, started by giving me visions of what they wanted. I couldn't contain my excitement. I headed outside at six in the morning to get the work started all by myself. I did have to wait for others friends to come and help, but it wasn't long before we were all at work -- including my fairies. They made everything come together perfectly -- the money, the helpers, and the creativity. Within a week, the yard was completely redone. Not only was it a refreshing sight to behold, but it had also brought people together in a creative, life-affirming endeavor. The entire transformation was one to behold.

When all the pieces are in place (people, events, timing, etc.) and the fairies want something done, nothing can stop them. All the right doors open. The house and yard-building projects only reaffirmed my belief that we don't have to keep kicking a door for it to open. We only need faith, trust, and a whole lot of patience. When things are right, it will be done.

The Terrible Backyard is Now A Safe Haven for Fairies!

Dragons

As most people do, I've had a life of ups and downs when it comes to emotions. However, since 1998 -- with a life full of more challenges than I care to admit -- my emotions were on a full-blown rollercoaster ride. Day after day, it seemed to me that more and more things were rocking my boat -- ending a twenty-year marriage; allowing my children move to Korea to be with their father (who was in the military); ending of a heartfelt relationship with a wonderful man; watching my career in the travel business end; seeing my dream as a personal trainer die, losing my father -- and all of that wasn't even the worst of it! In 2004, I was facing the prospect of the bank foreclosing on my house. I couldn't get a job in any "old" employment area and it seemed that no doors were opening in any "new" employment areas either (the angels, of course, had other plans for me).

I decided to move to Texas to be with my daughter Jamie, who was expecting a baby -- my granddaughter. My daughter's husband, Jay, was in Iraq. This, of course, was absolutely no sacrifice for me -- I wanted to be with my daughter at this special time. I didn't, however, want to go to Texas. The area was in the infamous "Bible Belt" and with all of my new beliefs and the new world the angels were opening up for me -- I thought I would die there.

I was also looking at bankruptcy. Considering the way I'd been raised, such a thought was barely in my consciousness. I fought it tooth and nail, even though my angels kept telling me to file. I refused, trying everything in my power to hang on. My credit was important to me and to the values I'd grown up with. And, most importantly, it was important to my ego. But I was taking a beating from all the companies calling me minute after minute -- most of them being downright unwilling to work me (and quite nasty about it).

On top of all of that, I lost me car -- and not from the bank repossessing it. My car had been paid off for years. Nope, I woke up one morning to a Police Officer knocking on my daughter's front door. He told me that my car was currently down the street -- and it was totaled. I was devastated. My car was my freedom. Needless to say, I received nothing for my car.

That same day, I kept hearing the word "FIRE" ringing in my ears.. I knew that my angels, God, and the universe wanted me to get rid of all the old. I had only a few personal possessions left (in storage), and I was scared. I just didn't understand. I knew, deep down, that they wanted me to have a clean slate -- but I kept praying for protection. I had all of my family pictures.

After I returned to Denver, I got settled into a new place. I sent my children all of the family photos -- so I wouldn't have all of them if something happened. Still, I kept hearing "FIRE." This scared me to my core. So much so, that I even took out fire insurance for the few things I had left, which wasn't much. Basically, I had no car, no furniture, no job, and very little money.

But I was determined to keep trying to have the life I wanted. After moving back, my spirit felt bouncy again, but even more "bad" things kept happening. I had finished my book the night before I left Texas, and had been directed to a woman who was helping me edit it. But my computer stopped working. I had to go to the library to work on it -- which was quite a nightmare in and of itself. My spirit would be high, but then something would come along and dampen it.

In October of 2005, I started hearing a new word -- "Dragon." I knew my angels were talking to me about dragons. Okay -- so I looked at a couple of books to see what they were trying to tell me. As I opened my mind and spirit to this new concept, I began to feel the presence of dragon around me. It was a strong, but gentle, presence.

Then, one night I said out loud, "I want to meet you."

In response, a dragon showed up. I could see the shadow of her big wings. She told me that her name was Sadie. I felt an incredible power emanating from her. It was actually so intense that it made me sick. I laid on the bed, doubled over in discomfort.

"You are so powerful," I told her.

"You are just as powerful," she replied. "Even if you can't experience it fully in your current body."

As I continued to lay there, I felt this power overtaking my body. She again told me that the human body, in its current limited form, couldn't take this power -- and I could feel why. My body ached and I felt sick to my stomach. It was a power, and a sickness, that I'd never have felt before.

"How can I be this powerful?"

"You must bring fire into your life. You have way too much water. The water is putting out the fire."

"Will you help me?"

"Yes," she said. "I will help you."

I felt a shift in my body, and when she left I felt instantly better. Sadie came back to visit me often (always at a distance). She helped me to get the fire back into my life. She explained to me more about dragon energy -- telling me that dragon energy has been hidden for many years; many lifetimes.

Dragon energy is so powerful that these amazing creatures are very careful about who they visit. They only come to people who are pure of heart, which is why they often come to young people. Humans would never be able to use dragon energy at its full strength. Our bodies can't absorb it. However, with dragons helping us, we can learn how to use what we can absorb for the greater good of the earth and of our fellow humans.

Dragons want to help us improve our lives, as well as the life of our Mother Earth. That is why more and more people are being drawn to dragons. Dragons are coming out of "hiding" and want us to learn about them.
