Every Tomato needs a Fairy Godmother
Rev. Laurie Sue says that even at midlife, she still believes in a Fairy Godmother.  And she thinks all Tomatoes should too. "Believing in magic is essential for creating a life of our own choosing. It helps us to remember that we live in an unlimited universe where anything is possible.  It also makes life fun, and more interesting.  If you've lost hope in finding your prince, if you are feeling you need a change in careers... If you are looking in the magic mirror and hearing "you could use a little freshening up" instead of "you are the fairest in the land " ... if you are finding that those fabulous glass slippers you got on sale are too darn hard to walk in ... or if you've forgotten how to let your imagination run free and how to trust in the abundance of the universe - it's time to let magic back into your life."   Read how to get the magic back.
