Hello Dreamers:
Today is Halloween in the year 2009. There will only be one of this particular day in my life and so I try to pay attention to details. The Texas Book Festival show is tomorrow and a big article about the Fairy Godmother Academy will be in tomorrow morning’s paper. The air is sparkly blue like the sky. I look for something to wear that is this color of blue so I will sparkle too. The leaves on the bush by my door are my favorite color- chartreuse. I want to wear the day the way the plants and sky do. People get ready to play music in Austin where Halloween is a gigantic party. I want to immerse myself in it so I dance around the house to the songs on the radio and write a song too. I am aware of my happiness.
My Knowledge: I know it is Halloween.
My Understanding: This is the only Halloween in 2009 and the only day of my life that will have these things in just this way.
My Wisdom: Knowing when “good” cannot be better.
So true. It’s now Halloween 2012 and I am so glad I got to see this before I got up and got dressed. I am going to be me. Me is who I am for Halloween. My own fairy-godmother-in-training. Inspired by Fairy Godmother Academy, and the wonderful Jan Bozarth! Thank you for all your amazing books and ideas. You are a true inspiration to me and a lot of other girls around the world! Thanks Jan!

Jenny Paulin / Ah yes I did this recently loinokg back through Burton’s old clothes, which now even Jenson has outgrown and so there is a Huuuuuge bin bag full of newborn and up to 6 months clothes in the hallway this time I will not be keeping them.Such cute photos Karin, first shoes are a mile stone aren’t they? I think girls have a lot more choice in shoes than boys though xx
