Her magic mirror shows us
the possibilities of our Selves and our Lives
Everyone Needs a Fairy
Godmother
by Trudi White
They met again a few days
later after Bri had a chance to do a little more reading and let
some of the ideas soak in for a while. Bri was full of questions at
their next meeting.
"So what you do is help
young women achieve their dreams," said Bri. "Isn't that a bit like
being a Fairy Godmother?"
"Oh we haven't been called
that in generations. To tell you the truth, I always liked the
romance of thinking of that way." explained Diana.
"As Fairy Godmothers? But
isn't that sort of silly and trivial?"
"Everyone needs a Fairy
Godmother from time to time dear."
"You're kidding, right? I'm
supposed to go into training to be a Fairy Godmother?"
"Just like you needed Lydia
Day, other women need someone who believes in them. Unconditionally.
Someone who can see our strengths when we're too confused to see
clearly."
"We're the Daughters of
Inanna. Not that there's anything wrong with Fairy Godmothers, mind
you." Diana looked off into space and began to talk, as if to no
one.
"We all need a Fairy
Godmother sometimes," she said again. "Not to magically improve us
or lift us up out of our circumstances. The real magic of the Fairy
Godmother is in the mirror she holds up for us to look into.
The mirror shows us the
possibilities of our Selves and our Lives. It shows us what we can
become.
The Fairy Godmother never
brings us what we don't have. She doesn't change us. She doesn't
even suggest that there is anything wrong with the way we are. She
knows the truth.
The Fairy Godmother works
with what is present. In Cinderella, she transformed the girl's
ragged dress into a ball gown. The Fairy Godmother transformed what
was already there. She brought forth a different aspect of what was
present. The Fairy Godmother knew with absolute certainty that what
Cinderella saw was not the whole truth. The Fairy Godmother knew
that in a different form the dress Cinderella was already wearing
would be perfect for the ball.
Notice that Cinderella was
already beautiful and graceful. She just couldn't see it herself.
The Godmother didn't need to enhance that or Cinderella's wit and
charm. Cindy just needed the confidence of all the trappings. Once
her confidence was bolstered by the dress, the coach and all of the
accessories, Cinderella let her own inner beauty come forth. So, of
course she won the prince. She had everything it took. She had
always had it. The prince, is of course only a symbol. A symbol of a
young woman's heartfelt dream. Today, it could be a family, a career
or a simple desire to help in the world and feel fulfilled.
That's what we all need
sometimes. Someone to truly look at us. Someone to see our strength
and beauty. Someone to see our true selves. Then we in turn can act
as a mirror to the one who doesn't see so clearly.
Most of us need the Fairy
Godmother to serve as that mirror. Once we see what's really inside,
our confidence builds and we demonstrate who we really are. Once our
self-doubt is removed, we no longer hesitate to follow our hearts.
In our hearts we find the truth and beauty of who we are. Then we
truly have something to give to the world.
That's the reality of it
all. That's one of the big lessons we come to this life to learn.
Once we are truly ourselves, when we live from the core of our
Divine nature, that's all we want to do, is give. We recognize the
unity of all life. But that's very difficult to do when we're
blinded by day-to-day troubles.
So that's what we do. We
help women find their true Divine nature. Then the world has the
gift of that beauty and that truth. And our women can't wait to
return the favor by passing on beauty, truth and service to the
world. We don't call ourselves Fairy Godmothers, but the principle
of bringing out the best in women is one of our prime purposes."
