Just a wonderful, unique, beautiful presentation that brought our neighborhood to a new level this Halloween. And your article and pictures truly add frosting to an already great cake.

100% agree! Give kids a chance to explore the bright side of what this season brings. Hallows Eve is the time to prepare for all saints day and then All Souls’ Day. The veil between the worlds is palpable. We feel so close to what is holy. I think that closeness can feel scary to some folks, and so they turn that direction, while others turn to trickery. Thanks for offering a third option, to celebrate the highest parts of ourselves, and to create blessed environments and activities for our children.

when i was little i believed in fairies... then as i grew up i believed they were fictional... finally, just a few years ago i read something so startling and confirmatory to my actual experience as a youngster that i am convinced of fairies reality... planning on writing about fairies in a future post because a little neighborhood girl asks me about them.
