Silence is an Invaluable Commodity

the definition of monotonous is when it takes 3 hours to drive from one community to the next. now imagine this time period with no wifi or radio and on the sounds of the vehicle beneath you. now picture yourself when all you can see and feel is a black velvet curtain backdrop (even when the sun shines through the windows) that leaves you in a vacuum. well, not really just in a lonely vacuum.

with noise bombarding around 24/7 it pulls you into a blurred facade of what is now considered peacefulness so even when you think you are alone even though you never are. through what is now call the *iCloud, technology has reached out and taken away the mute button and replaced it with a continuous loop of sound. when you find yourself within the confines of a carriage (or whichever mode of transportation you find yourself in) and with headphones on there is still that inaudible muffled sound coming from an *iPod playing music or podcasts, or from the tv on the back of a headrest playing cartoons which is now considered the norm for silence. though truth be told that even this type of quietness creates a bond of togetherness. mind you this aloneness does let one finish knitting that baby bonnet or reading a chapter or two from that book left on the nightstand collecting dust.

in conclusion in today's society it takes a conscious effort to be enveloped in the quietness that when the air that you breathe creates a solemn stillness of tranquility.

The Quiet Voice That Demands (Needs) To Be Heard

Hello followers of this blog and my Facebook Faeries...

I need you all to know that I am okay. I am still here and that I am still actively promoting my nursery but through other means.

I am still VERY hurt over the Facebook blocking more than I had ever thought I would be. My pride, my company, my heart and my soul were put out there for all to see everyday since creating this Facebook page. It had become my life where I devoted hours every day trying to be seen. Trying to be found in amongst millions upon millions (over 500,000,000 million as of October 3, 2013) of pages.

I will continue to keep my vow of silence until I feel that I am ready to bear my soul for all to see. It truly is like being naked (am I allowed to use that word or will it shut me down again) (is someone going to find it disgraceful, rude, explicit or hurtful).....guess I had best watch my wording.....continue to be open to the public for viewing.

I have been very active on my Twitter and Instagram (which are directly linked to my Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr and Facebook pages). I have opted not to post these little snippets to Facebook.....well because frankly......I can't see the point of it right now.

I wil be back......I will at least be posting my 'Thought of the Day' starting tomorrow (Monday, July 21, 2014) but other than that......I will not allow anyone to see the pain I'm feeling....Happy thoughts.....Happy thoughts.

I am staying on top of other postings......following a few and even commenting on a couple that are from my personal page only. Those are family and friends that are the closest to me and really have their best intentions and well wishes for me. Not to hurt those few 'real' people in the cyber world and I am happy and blessed to call as my wee Faerie Nursery friends. To those, I am truly sorry for my silence but please be patient, I need a bit more time to heal.

If you do have links to the following groups, I do encourage you to follow the continued antics of the nursery......like the blister with the Superman bandaid, the mew mew who thinks that the best place in the house to lay.....is on a bed made of flowers...

I am really sorry for this silence and I hope that you will understand the reasoning behind it.

On one further note, to my 2764 (fans, followers, friends)......as of right now, I will no longer be participating in any of the other group pages......no more ladders, no more hoping that I can be seen on another page by spending hours upon hours on the computer for what.......more faces that will never look twice at my page and press the button that says 'unfollow'. I will now dedicate my time to you, to those of you that take the time to read postings like this. To those of you who know what I must be going through. To those of you that understand, my page is about a Faerie Nursery......what is so offensive about that??

Yes, I hurt like crazy......and as the tears now start to roll again.....this is all for me today.

Here are the links again to my social media sites that at least don't ban wee Faeries that just want to spread some Faerie Dust to make everyone's day just the little bit more sparkly.

Wee baby faeries

The nursery has been pretty quiet over the past few weeks as the care takers are on the mend from not feeling so well. Not wanting to pass anything onto the faeries that are staying here at the nursery it was decided to just close the doors for a bit and let everyone have a quiet nap.

As there is lots of snow still on the ground and flurries still in the air, all the faeries at the nursery seemed to be quite thankful for a nice warm place to stay.

But there has been activity of recent. A whole new batch of flower petals have arrived in the mail along with fantastic coloured wires for baby faerie stems.

As we have found here at the nursery, new borns love the quiet down time. And just as the proof is in the pudding, we have new batch of baby faeries on the go.

These little ones will have their stems wrapped in matching or maybe contrasting floral tape. They will be gently placed into a dried seed pod and then wrapped in a blanket of moss.
