About the Value Creativity and Orange Horse in the Sky

For children and adults 🙂

Yesterday, I wrote a letter to a young author to support her inspiration to create illustrations that her heart wants to share. An illustration guide will be available next week on our website. Hopefully, it will also give support to Mom Fairy Tale creators.
I strongly believe in the value of a good story that supports harmony in our hearts, and I believe that the best fairy tale is a fairy tale that Mom creates for her child. That is why we started this project and are happy to support fairy tale creators.

I want to share with you a story. It is the real story, one of the amazing stories that inspired me to create a new book “Where Can I Find Happiness for My Child”
(Excerpt from the manuscript “Where to Find Happiness for Your Child” ©)

“A nanny came up to me, before starting one of my children aged 4-5 classes “World in Me” and quietly said, “I want to warn you. That boy is very stubborn and generally depressed! ” I asked, “Why do you think that?” She answered, “Because he doesn’t want to talk to anyone!”

On this day, my children and I drew a fairy tale about funny little horses that live wherever they like. The boy the nanny spoke of was silent at first, glancing at me from under his eyelashes.  Then he took colored pencils and began to draw. . . .

His little horse ran among the clouds. . . . She had a bright orange tail, and she was yellow with multi-colored round spots on her sides and large blue eyes. . . .

The nanny came up behind and said. “That’s not right! Horses are not colorful! Horses are gray!” The boy closed his drawing with his arms and looked at the nanny, then at me.

I sat next to him and said, “Let’s come up with a fairy tale about your beautiful horse?” The boy was silent for a moment, then nodded his head, opened his drawing, and whispered, “You know, she does have a tail like an orange . . . .”

The nanny shrugged and walked away to the side. She saw what she could see . . .

I continued to create classes and each time the children became my teachers, impressing me with the depth and beauty of their hearts.”

Allow yourself and your child to see the colorful world as he wants to see it.
A happy person will always have a unique view of the world.

Why did I write first to “yourself” and only then to “my child”? Because we can share with our children only what is in us. And besides, in each, regardless of our age and status, there is also a child.
When we feel it in our hearts, we and our children better understand each other.

I want to share with you the practice that I came up with many years ago and which, more than once, helped me in my daily affairs, meetings, and workshops.
It is easy to learn and I am sure that you and your child will like it and it will give joy to your hearts.

Practice
The game “Magic Wand”

You have a Magic Wand in your hands.” One has only to touch it with what you want to change, and this happens. And it doesn’t matter that only you see these changes. After all, this is your Magic Wand!

– Each of us has a Magic Wand, but we do not always use it. Why? Hmm. . . . The reasons can be different: we forget, we don’t believe and. . . we don’t even know about it.

– The good news is that each of us has a wand, regardless of what we think about it. So just try to see how it works, and use it or not, it’s up to you. . . .

So, now about the essence of the game itself

• You choose something and ask yourself: “What if I change this color?” For example, today is a gray rainy sky, and if it turns . . . green? Hmm . . . What would I add to this? “
• Remember, you have a Magic Wand! You can do anything! You touched the wand of the sky and it turned green like a meadow . . . But what if you add daisies to it? And if the clouds turn into fluffy lambs that graze in a meadow-sky?
• When you finish your “heavenly design” stop for a moment and feel … yourself. Where do you feel joy, and where does the Critic sit with his endless “critical” remarks? Do not scold him.
• “He, your Critic, can simply see what he can . . . And this is today . . . and another time, everything can be different.” Just praise yourself. Find these words that bring joy to you, for example 🙂 “Well done! Great! Great design!”
• Use this practice more often. Choose different objects. It takes only 1-2 minutes to complete this practice. You will see how this time will be able to open your world to you, making it more from you and not from someone’s imposed restrictions.
• Play with yourself and your child! Together. . . .

The value of this practice

• helps to see internal limitations and helps to remove them
• develops positivity and the ability to look at the world from the Master’s position
• strengthens the interaction with the child from Heart to Heart.

And one more 🙂
When you are outdoors, look around and ask yourself: “Where can I find 7 shades of green?” 
Then the next day (or the same day) red, orange, and all 7 colors of the rainbow.

Each of our eyes has over 126,000,000 light-sensitive cells. 
So, they wait for their daily practice and the brain also waits for 76-78% of its information.
It is also good training for skills to notice the different colors of our World. 
P.S.
We create our Life every moment. What are the colors we choose for creation?
What are the colors we use for design?
When we live in a gray-oriented interior, we will be the same . . . Just look around. . . .

“…Paper was no longer grumpy. She befriended Colors and Brush.
Since then, beautiful paintings have begun to appear on her sheets. Paper is very proud of them, considering them now not just spots, but real and amazing paintings. What is portrayed on them? The World!
In these paintings, Beauty of our World shines in different colors. Which Beauty? Beauty that is always close. . . .
Look around! Beauty of our World reminds us of itself! How?
From colors. . . .” (from the “Happy Home Fairy Tales” collection – “Colorful World”)

The Calendar-gift 2024 year for you 🙂
