May your inner light shine on the longest day,
Reflecting back the light of the universe.
I also offer a free midsummer fairy tale set in Ireland, about a young girl and the traditions of her family on Midsummer. Here is a link to Midsummer Stew, a tale of fairy retribution and redemption and of the interconnectedness of us all.
Blessings, Brenda

Friendly Fairy Tales 
You always make me inspired and uplifted. Now, shall try to shine my inner light while with 5 of 6 grandkids. Two of my grown children, Carrie and Jamie, are working today. Skyle is off with his father and step-mom.
One with no kids is at Myrtle Beach and glad she is still single. Lol
