1) Pearl & James

A little mermaid lived near a boutique by the sea. More than anything else, she was fascinated by mannequins shoes, which she observed for hours. It’s bizarre, yet it happened that people lost their shoes making them go straight into the sea, as

if they somehow belonged to our princess. Pearl, in fact, jealously kept them in her treasured chest, with the knowledge and hope that it was not a coincidence but rather an omen of her: one day she could open a shoe store, just like her nose

told her.

In the deepest darkness, one night, a seahorse as bright as a star in the sky visited her. With her mouth open, Pearl looked at him surprised to such an extent that he asked her:

“Have you ever seen in the depths of your soul, in the darkness, a spark illuminate? Well,

I am such hope which is hidden in your heart who came here to give you a better day ”.

The little mermaid embraced the sweet animal moved and full of gratitude until she was surrounded by a whirlwind of water and salt which made her gently land on dry land with two legs, a great desire to live and experience. She was thus noticed, Pearl, by the owner of the boutique, who immediately took her to heart because of the great resemblance of the young girl to an old childhood friend of hers. For a few years they worked together, until one night, Constantine was called to heaven, leaving her boutique to the sad but grateful princess who, with hope and the sweet Constantine in her heart, realized her dream and met love. In fact, her shop grew so much that she had to hire staff to help her. It was thus that she met James, an hard worker and passionate person as she was. Their relationship was only professional until, by pure bizarre coincidence, the two collided and both end up on the ground. James held a container in his hands with a wedge full of pearls inside. He asked her kindly, with a mischievous smile, to try and see if she was the girl he was looking for.

The two burst out laughing . The perfectly fitting shoe brought such joy that a few tears fell from Pearl’s eyes, who, smiling, replied: “It is true: our dreams lead us straight into the arms of our destiny. “

Thus ended the day: with James and Pearl wrapped in each other’s arms with a promise in their hearts on the notes of a sweet love song.

2) Humility of heart

Once upon a time in a distant kingdom full of light, there were a princess and a lost prince. The princess was of marriageable age and her heart moaned for a pure, sincere love, but unfortunately around her there were many toads that lacked poetry. Since she was kind, there were those who wanted to take advantage of her. Men interested only in themselves, not caring about the feelings and thoughts of the princess. She tried to move by doing the will of her father, the Light of the world. She wasn’t sure how to do it, but she tried. Warmth and fireflies surrounded her as in an embrace, making her cheerfully turn around, to remind her that wherever she went, her father was with her.

Life is a bit like a carousel and our princess unexpectedly finds herself in front of the lost prince. He had good and kind eyes: a man with a noble heart, but many were her disappointments that the hope of finding a husband who loved her without only desiring her attention was fading. Her solitude seemed almost comfortable to her. It happened that one day the Light of the world visited the lost prince in a dream, showing him her daughter Annabel. The king encouraged Prince Liam to be patient and wait for her to be ready. So Liam was encouraged and rolled up his sleeves. Keeping his feelings for Annabel at bay was certainly not easy, the desire to hold her hand and kiss her was ardent, but the prince succeeded in his intent in an impeccable way. The king was very proud of him. Liam tried to make Princess Annabel feel safe, understood and accepted. He told her that inside her there was a shining sun and this moved her, because despite the origins of her father, she feared that the light inside her was faint.

The young prince, who was beginning to fear that the sweet princess would never be his, was again visited in a dream by the king who gave him a magical bracelet. A touch was enough to bring out orange sparks and a deep, fairytale voice from the magical gift that told him to make 3 wishes. The young man had already thought about it in his life what he desired and since the Spirit already knew his heart, no limitations had been placed. From the honesty of his heart, Liam expressed the desire to help others, to have a home and someone special to live with. The Spirit then tested him and asked the boy if he wanted to make anyone fall in love with him. The young man hesitated for a moment but replied that it would not be a sincere love and that he wanted something real.

The Spirit is known for never testing people beyond their strength and although he already knows what we crave in our hearts, he is pleased to hear us say it. This happen in order to help us, in the day to come, to remember that our dreams have become reality. So with a deeply pleased smile, the Spirit surrounded the prince in a mysterious cloud filled with celestial magic and the following day, Princess Annabel was awakened with the awareness of the truth: the magnanimous man that she so ardently desired to know had been by her side for all this time!

In that moment she realized that he respect her so much to avoid physical touch, to keep a fair distance and to avoid her gaze until she was comfortable enough in conversation, he appreciated her efforts. Annabel thought back to everything the prince had said to her, to what he had done, to how he gave her strength, to the vision he had of a couple, to the goodness of his heart... Deep emotions took her over. With the prince, winter turned into spring. He was a new song for her, when the heaviness of the world wanted her to feel useless, he reminded her of her value. The days passed and the princess, struck by Liam’s sweetness, was pervaded by the unstoppable desire to know if her feelings were reciprocated.

Although the prince was of an unearthly courtesy, he paid special attention to Annabel but you know, love brings vulnerability and it is feared, even in the face of the most explicit gestures, of having misinterpreted the signs. So the princess, taken by the impetus, revealed to him that being next to him was like feeling at home. These words sparked a warm amazement in Prince Liam’s heart and face. Clouds, sparkling stars appeared around the two lovers and a rainbow stretched over them like a victory arc. A beautiful house came out of the ground and Liam and Annabel got up gently, holding hands and looking at each other. The era of a new beginning was marked: a home, a partner and many projects for a future full of hope which made him a blessing to many.

Humility always pays off and makes a big difference. You too, do not fear for your future: you are in good hands. The Spirit knows your heart and will help you to bring to light and make your wishes come true.

3) William’s shoes

William kept dreaming of her: the young girl he didn’t know yet but who made him feel complete. In everyday life, William liked to collect all kinds of shoes but in particular he preferred sports shoes.

Often his friends made fun of him for his passion. One day, almost by magic, he found himself in front of a flyer that would have marked his destiny: there was a new shoe designer in the city who invited people to test her skills. William’s eyes began to sparkle, so he immediately took his cell phone and started typing his request to the young businesswoman fresh out of college. Cindy accepted the challenge and immediately went to work. Days passed, ideas kept coming to her head until she had to call and meet the young man in person to figure out what was right for him. He watched her explain with such passion that he couldn’t help but be fascinated by her and watch her with eyes full of amazement. Cindy didn’t seem to show it but those puppy eyes of his encouraged her even more to go beyond her limits. They found an agreement and both went back to their lives. Fairies appeared in a dream to Cindy with innovative ideas and

reassurance on what to do. While she worked with joy, our boy found himself arguing with his roommate for the umpteenth time. Despite the bickering between them due to Wiiliam’s many shoes were not unusual, this time our young man was magically thrown into a distant jungle, alone and barefoot.

From this unfortunate event, William had time to reflect on the nature of his friendships.

He had a generous heart, he was always there for others but he realized, after a long time, that he was surrounded by people but that he was actually alone. None of them had ever helped him or asked him about him. He would have appreciated someone who would take the time to ask him how he was doing, to listen to him, to go out together for the joy of his company and not because someone needed something from him. They gave him a slight sense of belonging but was this enough? Now that he was forced into solitude and reflection, everything seemed clearer to him. Every now and then he told himself “I would have done the same thing anyway” and that’s okay. Everything serves a purpose. But now,

in order to grow into who he is destined to be, he realized that close friendships played a very important role. They say “tell me who you go with and I’ll tell you who you are”. The people we hang out with have the power block us or to raise us up in life.

Despite noble thoughts and emotions some people are better off loving from afar. Life is

one and it would be a shame to waste it in tears and suffering from the wrong company. Surround yourself with people who believe in you, your talents, and the goodness of your heart. People who confirm their love for you, who grow with you and encourage you to be the best version of yourself. Then you will be grateful because in times of need and in times of joy, you will have someone cheering for you. Someone who shares your pains but gives you strength and someone who is ready to celebrate with you.

A month went by and so Cindy showed up in front of the door of William’s house. The girl was not naive, in fact the fairies in her dream had warned her: “Your young man will not be easily found. Observes well. Unmasks the lie. “

So it was that she did not believe the roommate and immediately noticed that he was wearing the same shoes she saw wearing by the sweet boy. Since Cindy was no ordinary person and she knew she lived in a neighborhood full of people like her, she looked intently at the man in front of her until her eyes started to flare as well as his apartment. Under coercion, Cindy obtained to be teleported to the dear William and she knew, thanks to her magic, that they had a free ticket to go back.

She saw her tender little boy sitting under a tree, a little dirty and with his eyes downcast. She approached him, with angelic delicacy she placed a hand under his chin to lift it a little and be able to observe him better.

In his gaze there was a glimmer and immediately those little eyes of his became languid.

They embraced. Cindy put the boy’s arm on her shoulder and accompanied him to the nearest water source. He was strangely taciturn, he probably wasn’t sure what he was seeing. When Cindy washed his injured feet, dried them with her clothes, covered them with new socks and put them on the magnificent new pair of shoes they had talked about, William realized: he wasn’t dreaming. Tears of happiness welled up in his face, she looked at him with deep tenderness and they hugged again.

A heart so pure that even her eyes got wet. William longed to be her hero and protector, while Cindy longed to love and care for him. William, with a renewed sense of joy and purpose in his life, tried on his shoes: he felt light as a feather, quick like a puma and jumping high like a kangaroo mouse.

Cindy, with a snap of her fingers, inflamed the bottom of the roommate who immediately made our two lovebirds come back while repeatedly apologized to our good and merciful William. The couple left the building.

They were drawn into each other’s eyes.

William’s introspection in the jungle made him fear that he would not be able to see the young businesswoman again, so with a little insecurity and hope in his heart, he brought his hand towards Cindy’s face who accepted and accompanied him with care on her face.

The two looked at each other with intense sweetness until their gaze rested on the lips of the other, which were a great call and with that intense passion, they kissed as if there was no tomorrow. Everything around them seemed to turn, disappear and rematerialize. All seemed so supernatural but one thing was certain to them: they had found the happiness their hearts were longing for.

4) Tei Tei

With her big eyes, the little girl with magical powers, was able to see into the depths of people’s hearts, understanding the reason for the most evil actions and for this, developing

a sense of compassion. Though young, her talent had given her incredible revelations about how reprehensible actions were a result from a hard life. Indeed, how could a person develop tenderness towards an animal if he was raised in an environment where the heart was made of stone? Elaborating one’s own experience, accepting oneself, breaking the patterns in which one’s grew up and the freedom to make their own choices, would have made them free. TeiTei was aware of this and she wanted to help people heal from that poison which made their life embitter.

When she turned 15, her aunt put a spell on her and made her “normal”. Our teenager

was thus deprived of her talent and was filled with a sense of helplessness. In fact she

had based her identity, until now, on the gift she had, without realizing that it was her

very existence to be a precious gift. Not understanding who she was anymore but with determination of mind, she began to do what she did best step by step.

Life occasionally puts us in front of a mirror which asks us something that previously seemed obvious to us: “Who am I?”. When confronted with this question, we should be patient towards ourselves and not fear: our value outweighs our every flaw. We must also take into account that each new awareness and change leads us into something new and beautiful. Despite the pain, like after every storm, the sky returns clear. Thus TeiTei began to put into practice everything she had learned over the years. She tried to help others as best she could, based on her past experiences and intuition. Every opportunity was good to ask the right questions which others would not have dared to ask but which, if answered with sincerity and openness of heart, would lead to a healing. One day she answered to a young girl from the village who asked her for company to carry out a matter: “Why don’t you show yourself that you can do it on your own?” In fact, the young woman boasted about her independence but she found herself asking everyone to accompany her to do everything.

Unfortunately the young woman was offended and went away, leaving a bitter taste in our girl’s mouth, only to return half an hour later to ask her to have lunch together... TeiTei was speechless. She took some strength to faintly reply: “I have to think about it” even though they were both aware that it would not happen. TeiTei wondered if it would be better to shut up, but examinating her conscience, her intentions were good: she wanted to help the girl be brave and discover that even though she went alone, she would be fine. But sometimes people are not ready and have to follow the natural path in order to learn from their actions. In any case, the young girl had our protagonist at heart and she too felt bad because of her reaction, so every day she greeted TeiTei and did some cuteness to make her understand her affection.

The country began to talk about our young woman so well that the renowned doctor contacted her in order to hire her.

The aunt was furious. Her magic could do nothing against the omnipotent power of fate. Those who sow, reap and we must not stop doing good because, at the right time, the fruits will be reaped. In the ups and downs of life, TeiTei has always tried to do something good, her heart was repaid with joy and honor.

Her aunt, on the other hand, had sowed terror, discord and every evil that poisoned her. All this only increases her discomfort towards herself and the people around her, wounded by her wickedness, abandoned her. It was thus that she fell ill and TeiTei’s powers were restored to her. As soon as her niece noticed it, she rushed to the hospital to see her aunt and hugged her tightly: “Thank you for showing me who I really am”.

Aunt’s icy heart melted, a tear ran down her face. All her life she had felt useless but on this memorable day she realized she had served a purpose. She thus had to surrender to the goodness of fate, understanding that everything cooperates for good and that love never fails. She breathed her last breath with a tear on her face and a serene smile.

5) Wild education

He was like a blinding light in the night which shows you the way, like fresh water when

you need to quench your thirst. An adult who, like a child, learns to adapt to the surrounding world while remaining something unique and special. And you, you who remain there to observe him, captivated.

The magic in the eyes is friend of those who have understood that there is always something to learn. An spell which satisfies and increases the soul.

He had shown me the jungle ,a place that can be dark and scary, but also colorful and fascinating. There he learned about survival and his education included being one with nature. Their hearts were beating in unison and his run was like a gentle caress on the ground, albeit mighty and swift.

I, on the other hand, had grown up in a place where appearances are the order of the day. Where people wear masks to survive. A place where most pretend to be happy, sells you

a life that does not belong to them and ends up having a void that will only be filled with honesty and vulnerability. Love is not for the proud but for the humble of heart. I could not stand the deception of people for this reason I left. I never thought I’d meet Atenai like this.

Our worlds collided like day and night but our differences did not act as a barrier, on the contrary, they created a stable foundation based on acceptance and respect. Thus we began our journey together. Far from the society I had been used to, I finally felt the peace of freedom. Even my hair flew free in the wind.

We thus learned that just as we need rest, the earth also needs a sabbatical to breathe.

For many years we enjoyed our stay in that earthly Paradise, together with the sweetness

of the fruit of our love. Until one night, together, we exhaled our last breath and became part of the stars.

6) The tender sweetness

Once upon a time there was a beautiful and intelligent young woman. Everyone admired her, but she didn’t notice it because a veil of insecurity hid her that natural charm that she possessed. Hidden from her, but not from others, not a day passed on Earth without someone grateful for her very existence. This is because, even if she sometimes took it for granted, she had the great gift of making you feel appreciated, in a world where often we feel forgotten.

Many young people contended her hand, in my opinion not worthy of such a delicate flower. She thanked them and in the meantime she dreamed that sooner or later, a good young man, would have taken her away and loved her from the bottom of his heart. One day a young man arrived and he wanted her and desired to take her away. The appearance deceives people but the girl had the gift of seeing into hearts. So she grabbed his hand and they left. Snowflakes caressed her face.

The precious crystals reminded her that each of us is precious, special. Like a snowflake, we have peculiarities which make us unique. This comforted her and reminded her of her worth.

She was the only one with her experience, with her way of thinking, of being, of expressing herself and with certain talents. She was here because she had a purpose on Earth. Nobody could take her place.

The young man helped her to get off the moto. In front of them there was a huge glass bell containing a rose. The young man told her how a witch in disguise decided to confine him to that villa because of his rude attitude. He told her that only true love could set him free and break the magic.

The rose was losing petals as he moved away from the villa and every petal that perished reflected his shortening life.

Our young woman was a romantic but also a realist. Inside her she felt that the young man was the right one, but she also knew that intimacy between two people had to be cultivated. Trust, emotional security, knowledge and mutual understanding.

So the days passed and the frustration grew in the boy because he expected to have that love immediately but she was confident and pervaded by a peace that surpasses all human understanding. With kindness and goodness of soul, the princess was able to reassure the heart of the young man and to melt away his defensive wall and to see his more open and vulnerable side. He had always seen emotions as something to be ashamed of, but with her, he understood for the first time that by accepting and sharing his emotions, he allowed himself to be loved in a much deeper way than he had previously experienced.

Life with her became a paradise. They got to the point that both were so sure of each other’s love that they wrapped themselves in a tender embrace under a warm blanket.

In this tender way, the kiss came that broke the spell and allowed the two lovers to live life where they wanted, confident that wherever they would go, they were created to make a difference and be loved.

7) The dance of joy

Once upon a time there was a little girl.

So small that it was easy to find her hidden behind chestnut leaves. She sang and danced to the moon, just as she sang and danced to the sun. Each source of light was for the tiny girl a confirmation that someone much bigger than her was watching over her.

The young woman cried every now and

then, surrounded by dew, because her heart yearned for a love like the one she saw between the tender puppy and the sweet bunny.

The little dog every time took the bunny to

a comfortable and safe place, moreover,

he surrounded her with flowers and licked

her beautiful face, wagging his tail full of joy.

With her big starry eyes, she too wanted a tender hero who would make her feel safe and remind her of her worth. So one day the girl began to create a statue and in creating it, she told the sculpture about her life and all the things that were close to her heart.

When the night came, she took a yellow blanket and went to sleep at the foot of her creation.

An angel, moved with compassion for our beautiful little girl, filled the arms of the statue with chestnuts. The chestnut tree thus lost its leaves which were now surrounding the young girl and brought life to the beautiful statue with an ethereal face. The young man, first of all, placed the chestnuts on the ground and directed his hands towards the face of the sleeping young woman: the first thing he saw as he came to life was the unique and rare beauty of her.

He was filled with tenderness as he remembered all the events she had told him the day before. He saw the young woman tremble and then turned the chestnut leaves into a blanket and he got close to her in order to warm her. When the girl woke up, she found herself a sweet surprise and a crown of flowers on her head. Joy got the better of her, tears of happiness running down her face!

This time it was the sun and the moon that danced for her, because the girl’s dream had finally come true!
