Magical Gifts

On occasion, even a princess can be surprised by the magic in her world. Have you ever had that feeling of finding a treasure that is exactly what you never knew you always wanted? Magic quietly at work, shaping and preparing for the perfect time to unveil its gift of love and wonder embodied. If you haven’t experienced this, let’s just say it is pretty amazing.

I have stumbled upon these kinds of gifts in my life a couple times and each time I am always taken by surprise. The world is beautiful and magical place, if you know what to look for. Have faith and *try* to be patient, wonderfully unexpected and breath-taking gifts await you, on that, I give you my Royal Word.

Sometimes, the gift can be a little thing like finding that perfect dress at a fantastic price in a size smaller than you thought you were. Or, it could be getting lost on a road trip and cresting a hill just in time to see a watercolor sunset that could only have been hand-painted by God himself, suddenly makes “lost” relative. It might even be the last minute change of plans that leads to a chance meeting of old friends complete with laughing so hard that tears roll down the cheek.  These seemingly small gifts frequently add color and sparkle to life. 

Sometimes, though, the gift is bigger…
