once upon a time, there lived a girl named lily. her hair was the color of flax, her blue eyes were as wide as the sea, and she was wiser than anyone realized.

one day, lily looked in the mirror and saw a flaxen-haired blue-eyed girl looking back at her. the girl in the mirror looked just as surprised and delighted as lily felt.

the two girls smiled at each other.

“hello gorgeous,” the girl whispered to lily. then she blew lily a kiss and waved goodbye. lily waved and blew kisses back.

as the girl in the mirror turned away, her whisper floated through the mirror and landed in lily’s heart and she knew that she was loved.

the end.

    Jerry: You reminded me of a conversation with a friend. I was telling her that I noticed that whenever I was feeling judgmental, critical, etc. about another, it really meant that I was hating on myself, and trying to avoid that feeling by criticizing someone else. It was so good to know.

    Kimberley: Thank you, you gorgeous woman, you! I’m so glad.
