Good Things Are Attracted To A Good Heart- Natalie Zahajko

One of my new years eve resolutions is to get back to a regular sleeping pattern. So far I have failed miserably! I am trying to get up at 7:30-8am regardless of the time I go to bed, but I seem to be up until 2am and am sleeping like a rock. Needless to say when 7:30-8am rolls around I am still knocked out. I am starting to think my goal may be harder than I anticipated and need more time.

Sleeping Beauty: Once Upon A Dream

Sleeping Beauty: Prepare For Princess Auora's Birthday

Auroa is Lidia's favorite princess and this is fitting for my day. Sleeping Beauty is one of the oldest disney movies and is a total classic. I re-watched it last night and forgot how much I enjoy that movie...its timeless! Auroa is born and the kingdom is celebrating and 3 fairies come to give her a gift. Flora grants the princess with the gift of beauty, and Flora gives Auora with the gift of song when the mean Maleficent comes uninvited and curses Princess Auroa.  A curse that states on her 16th birthday she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel's spindle and die. The sweet King burns the spinning wheels in the kingdom to try to protect his princess but knows that wont be enough to protect her. The 3 good fairies Flora, Fauna and Merryweather decide to raise Princess Auora in the woods with their protection and love (without magic!)  For almost 16 years the fairies raise her as their own and protect her from Maleficent. Until on Auoras 16th birthday Flora, Flauna and Merryweather use magic to create a beautiful dress and cake to celebrate her birthday. Ofcourse there has to be a love story....Auora meets Prince Phillip (who ironically is arranged to marry from birth!) in the forest and without exchanging names fall madly in love and plan to meet up later that night. Its funny how true that can be, so often we don't realize that hand of the Lord in our lives and His plan. We think we know who and what we are meant to do, only to find later that His plan was so different for you (or in this case the same but not what you expected!) Anywaysssss Im sure you remember the rest of the story....Princess cries because she loves the "Man she met in the forest" and doesn't want to marry Prince Phillip. Auora follows the eery green light to a spinning wheel, and pricks her finger. The fairies put everyone in the town to sleep, to avoid sadness and sorrow. Merryweather grants her the gift that she'll sleep (rather than die) until her True Love kisses her to wake her up. Prince Phillip uses the sword of truth and shield of virtue to destroy Maleficent. Which of course happens since its disney. Prince Phillip kisses Auora and wakes her up. They dance into the night and live happily ever after. Auora is a sweet girl, who is beautiful, caring and has a beautiful voice. In Snow White and Sleeping Beauty the princess sings and attract their Prince Charming. Maybe in order to find my Prince Charming I need to learn how to sing?!
