Insomnia

I was equal measure delighted and daunted when the most marvellous Sarah Mooney asked me if I could provide holiday cover for her podcast, and I wanted to share with you all the story that came to sit with me as I attempted to fit into Sarah’s shoes, the delightful Cobbler, his wife and the Elves.

You can listen to the whole full shebang podcast on Spotify here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/4pO09imnTFN5ZMjdH90LUZ?si=Qe7eZpPxTP2gszR9YX9_tA

The Cobbler, his Wife and the Elves

' Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. 
Only try to realize the truth. 
There is no spoon. '

Increasingly our world demands more and more of us, not just our time but our essence, the core of who we are. What if there was another way to be? What if there was a remedy, a tincture of stories that could encourage us to take just a moment back, to close our eyes and remember when we sensed what was around us with awe and wonder, when we could smell and taste the magicks in the air. And what if in this stoppedness, this holding, we were also able to hear the whisperings, the longings of our hearts? 
What then? 
The Faerytale Apothecary is a place of Soul-Speaking, of stories as our teachers, healers, confidantes, that hold the lost parts of us & remind us of marvellousness.   
Honest, true, sincere even if sometimes it is a little rough around the edges, unrehearsed, unplanned, always joyous in it's spontaneity.
