Ancient fairytales continue to weave their magic and surprise and delight us, even in these modern times. If we want love to spring forward from the depths and splash its way through our lifetime of love we need to invite in loads of little sparks of spontaneity. Unpredictably breathes new life into boring routines. There is always magic waiting. It hides around corners we never knew existed. In order to experience wonder and blissful moments we have to be open to them. We need to embrace the unknown, leave time and room in our schedules for last minute invitations, and follow cravings, desires and whims when they hit. Who doesn’t want to have wishes filled and true love fulfilled? Spontaneity doesn’t just happen; we have to make it happen.
