Once Upon a Time at the Botanical Gardens...
When I strolled through the magnificent Gardens in Atlanta, I stumbled upon a true Gem: ‘Cinderella’s Slipper’ – An Orchid flower plant? (See Video at end of Blog)
Wow, picture this…a twinkle in my eye!
Folks, no need to worry about losing your shoe here. Your footwear is safe and sound :)
For real, each step that I took in that Orchid haven, brought me closer to a genuine treasure. Delicate blossoms, symbolizing transformation to her destined path and true love, instantly transported me back to the mesmerizing ballad from the iconic Disney movie Cinderella (1950). Heartfelt lines "So, this is love..." resonate with us, even to this day.
An unforgettable animation in Walt Disney’s History, right? With many a famous covers and interpretations.

From Disney Magic to Real-Life Inspiration
Visit to Georgia’s Botanical Park not only awakened my childhood days of dreaming beyond any boundaries but also a period in NY where my words had the power to help my neighbor in overcoming her internal conflicts and aligning herself on her soul’s higher path - A sweet Cinderella in her own right.
Connecting the Dots
Just like the phrase, ‘Connecting the Dots’ was popularized by Steve Jobs in his 2005 Stanford University commencement speech, Interestingly enough, my previous ‘dots’ connect seamlessly and carry us to this present moment with the Inspiring collections of products, intentionally designed for all of you.
SO CONSIDER THIS: How your fairy tale CAN BECOME a reality & how to find Your Cinderella or Prince Charming WITHIN after connecting the dots.
The answer to that goes in a story like this…I used to have a neighbor in NY. At the time, I was in my early 20s and she was in her mid to late 30s & single.Our conversations often revolved around dreams, aspirations, and the pursuit of happiness.
I had one daughter at the time whose room I had decorated with Cinderella’s theme. I would play with my daughter on the lush grassy yard, every day. My neighbor’s mom came up to me one day with a heartfelt request…if I could talk some wisdom and insight into her daughter’s heart who had been sitting tight, waiting for her prince charming to come whisk her off her feet one day on a beautiful White horse…& that her daughter’s need for ‘Mr. Perfect’ & ‘Perfect Timing’ may never fulfill her own wish of ever seeing her (future) grandchild (She, being the only daughter).
My heart sank briefly for both. Firstly, however stressed she felt as the mother, I made her realize that everyone’s journey is unique and we all must process our own life’s experiences in the most elevated manner for our soul’s growth.
I mean that’s the point of being here, right? Soul’s Rise & Shine 🌌

If similar circumstances kept repeating (as in her daughter’s case), then, we were missing the point of what experiences needed to be processed and learned from in our subconscious. It was that simple for her daughter to tap into whatever was being overlooked and for the mother and myself to support her in that wisdom.

She Wrote Her Own Fairy Tale
Since, her suffering stemmed from resisting growth towards higher self, which she was later able to triumph over after embracing this newfound, fairy dust of a wisdom from a trusted human ( that’s me! ). Then, choosing to grow and evolve with a loving, life partner became a rewarding experience for her.
Keep in mind, this was an intentional choice she made to remain in the flow of her own life's energy. No one had to force it upon her, not her mother in the least.

YOU Write YOUR OWN Fairy Tale
So, isn’t it safe to say that metaphorically speaking, Your Prince Charming or Cinderella is within you?
Since, you are the author of your own fairytale, once you can nurture personal growth and initially discover who you truly are, that Cinderella or Prince Charming appears or may reappear inside of you to nudge you in the right direction.
I consider this Your (Inner) Love Compass.
(Ref. Collection: French Country)
In other words, your reality shall match your inner world, since, our physical World or truth is only a reflection of the level we vibrate at, internally.
See, the thing is, our heart is one heck of a thriving organ. It’s meant to support our personal growth. It helps us in connecting and aligning with our core. Based on these facts, YOU WILL KNOW in YOUR heart when it speaks to YOU via your higher self’s intuition. When that moment arrives, you’re off the (negative) karmic wheel for good. Yippee, Captain!
It’s ideal to not kid or deceive our self into a ‘La La Land’ of escapism and fantasies before that point of self- discovery. What compels one to even remotely think that such illusions won't disintegrate?
Trust me, they crumble faster than a sandcastle at high tide!
TO SUM IT UP, similar to what my neighbor understood that her Prince Charming or Cinderella was within her, waiting to be awakened, you too can trust your intuition and follow your heart’s desires. Thus, manifest your highest destiny, effortlessly.
Their love blossomed in a way she couldn't have ever imagined. It was a love built on authenticity, kindness, and trust, strong traits that she had to build within herself first. Most importantly, strong sense of self, self-love and self trust. Facing challenges together not just became equally fulfilling but also strengthened their trusting bond.
AS I REFLECT ON THIS PERSONAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT STORY, I am reminded of the powerful capacity we possess to tap into our inner love compass and create our own fairy tale, the way it suits the depth of our own being.
