Sometimes you have to listen to Mom!

My mother once said to me, "Cinderella had to clean a lot of fireplaces before she got to live the fairy-tale."

I keep hearing, take a day for yourself! You don't have to work 7 days a week!  And as good as that sounds, I like "cleaning fireplaces" because how else can I live my fairy-tale life....?

Orchids don't blossom over night they take a lot of loving care, just like you won't blossom into your most beautiful self without a lot of loving care from yourself.
