Fairy Fly Magic

7/12/2022- It was the summer of 2011, I walked out to the back deck to what looked like snow. Thousand of little snowflakes just floating in the breeze. I scooped up one of these flakes to find it was a little tiny insect wearing a dress. It looked like a little fairy. I've never seen anything like it. They were so majestic and peaceful. During this time I was deep into metaphysical reading so seeing something so majestic really intrigued me. It felt like the universe through me a "that a boy".

Woolly Aphids

After 11 years and a thousand life changes later, on another beautiful July afternoon, those little fairies re-entered my life. I couldn't help but time travel to my last visit and reflect on all the changes that took place in my life. Our first encounter came when I was nearly penniless. I was living paycheck to paycheck, with no real career and no house to call my own. I was in limbo; it was a simple time but with no real big goals in sight. Fast forward 11 years and I was still here and so were they; yet this time under different circumstances. I had my dream home, my own business, and a completely different outlook on life. I was delighted that these beautiful little creatures visited once more, offering me the reflection and gratitude I must have needed. They gave me the feeling that I was exactly where I needed to be and it felt good.

P.S. These cuties are called Woolly Aphids, they are sap suckers and produce a waxy covering over their bodies but I think Fairy Flies better suit them.
