Izzy and Her Magic Potion



IZZY and Her Magic Potion





Izzy, the porcupine, was busy all the time.  What her family and other porcupine community members didn't know, was what  she was building for herself behind the scenes.

They all focused and talked about her behind her back, for it was likely that they did not want to face their own realities. It seemed to be easier to blame Izzy for all the miss doings and some of the wrong goings in their lives than perhaps taking a look at what was taking place in their own lives.

Izzy, on the other hand, although it hurt her feelings greatly, decided to turn around and secretly,  quietly, build her own little Empire.

An Empire that would raise and elevate her soul in unimaginable ways, that in time, others all around the world would love to reach as well. Something else  they did not know was that despite their criticism and talking of Izzy, in turn, when they discovered what she was doing, they would want to follow her footsteps, but not yet... not... quite... yet...

She woke up and put her flowery apron on and walked towards the miniature kitchen that she had, where she prepared her magic potion. It was a combination of essences, herbs and spices and several drops, drops and more drops of love and joy and a few other secret ingredients. 

A syrup that would not only be palatable but also of great yummy to taste. It was going to be a potent potion of upliftment, that would also bring magic and awareness in  unforseen and delightful  ways.

In the background, she felt that all her family would talk about and think was, that she was not moving forward with her life, for she was not making any money. At least not the thousands and thousands of dollars that were expected from her to receive or to proclaim, as she should work in a way they thought she ought to work.

Their expectations of her were never met, nor would they ever be. However, it was still a mystery of why Izzy, even though so busy, would never make any money, yet instead her riches came from a different source, the real source. A source so magical, so bountiful, so enchanting and exhilarating, that not one penny nor all the millions and millions of dollars of the world would replace this wonderful treasure and riches. A secret she would keep until the end.

Yet it was something that everybody was seeking and searching for, in many different forms of attainment.

"Ah," she thought! "If they only knew, how magical they were, misery would subside to exist in all its facets and forms in this beautiful Earth."


She grabbed a large wooden spoon, dipped it in the pot and stirred it a few more times. Then she lifted the filled elaborated dripping spoon and slurped, tasted it, felt it and said: 
"Ah! yes! It's ready. It's perfect."




A broad smile covered her face as she grabbed the ceramic container for it to be sealed and aged. She put a sticker on it with beautiful flowers and hearts that said:

"For my family, Humanity to be used in 2044."

A Miracle in Disguise

FRAU HERMIN A week ago I receive a message on Facebook from someone: "Did you go to the German School by any chance?" to which I responded a, "Yes! why?"  "I have something for you. Do you have whatsapp?" "Yes, here is my number." I replied. What he shared with me pulled me right out of my socks. I The bell rang. It was time. It was time for that class. It was time for that class that I dreaded so much. I had arrived early that morning on the bus that crossed the bumpy road to the main gate, where all the school buses parked. My leather backpack was somewhat heavy, yet I loved it. It was given to me by my mother. We had bought it in a nice place at "el mercado de artesanias." It was a good partner in my first days of school, learning how to read and write and the gist of things in the world of education.  The school had recently moved to that far away location, that stood proud in the lands of my countr

Emilia's Secret Wish

Emilia's Secret Wish Emilia was swinging under the tree in the Autumn garden. Her beautiful long young hair was set up in a nice ponytail sealed with bows of pink and purple.  As she dangled herself back and forth, she looked  up to stare at the clear blue skies that were gently brushed by a soft white cloud here and there. Wondering! This was the very day. She wanted to be with her daddy, who was far far away where only birds could fly or only those big big heavy metal machines could arrive. She then swang slowly until she came to a full stop, dragging her feet in the dusty dirt beneath the swing looking down at her pearl white shiny "charol" shoes. A knot welled up in her throat as tears began to trickle down her seven-year-old cheeks.  Then she remembered that her purse was hanging across her chest. She slit her small hand into it and took out her tiny little Minnie Mouse coin purse and began to count 25 cents, 50 cents, a dollar, $2, until

'Dora' the Lady Bug

Dora  the Miracle Lady Bug Nature always speaks to us, through its many colors, contours, winds and airs, sounds and mysteries, and especially through animals and their unique characteristics and totem meanings and scriptures. I really believe animals speak to us every day giving us messages to help us have a more meaningful life, filled with magic in a deeper sense and sensibility .  I woke up early that morning, grabbed my iphone and walked towards the porch to have my morning green juice, then placed my iphone" (addictive as it is) on the rim of the porch. When suddenly I became aware that there was a beautiful orange ladybug with a glow of a big hello. I greeted it with  a smile and felt great joy in my heart for they represent good fortune, and other deeper totem meanings, plus are so beautiful an vibrant. After a moment I became aware that it could not fly. It tried several times to stretch its wings yet one of them seemed to not work very well. Somehow
