An Incredible Day

Hey, everyone! The main characters in my story are based on my 2 friends Macy Miller and Lauren Martin. Here are some related blog posts: https://lilliandarnell.com/2018/07/09/a-brave-girl/, https://lilliandarnell.com/2019/05/10/how-macy-and-i-met/, and https://lilliandarnell.com/2019/06/01/how-liana-and-summer-came-to-be-best-friends/. I hope you enjoy!

Once years ago, there lived Macy Helens with her parents Hannah and William. Macy Helens was fearful of heights. Meanwhile, there was a younger girl named Laura Rose who lived with her parents Amethyst and Topaz.

Like Macy Helens, Laura Rose had a fear of heights as well. Macy Helens lived happily with her parents Hannah and William while Laura Rose and her parents Amethyst and Topaz also lived happily.

Until one day, Hannah and William decided to go on a hike with Macy Helens. Meanwhile, Amethyst and Topaz decided to go to a park with a hiking trail with Laura. At first, Macy Helens was terrified.

Meanwhile, Laura was a  little scared but she felt very determined to accomplish this fear. As Macy and her parents, Hannah and William approached the hiking trail, a tiny bit of determination began to shine through.

Little did Laura Rose and Macy Helens know that they were in the same park with the hiking trails. Also while Laura and her parents Amethyst and Topaz approached a different hiking trail, Laura’s determination began to grow into excitement gradually.

Macy Helens just reminded herself to distract herself by looking up and around her instead of looking down as Macy Helens and her parents Hannah and William walked up the hiking trail.

Meanwhile, on a different hiking trail Laura Rose and her parents Amethyst and Topaz climbed on. Later, Macy Helens and her parents Hannah and William found an intersection.

Macy Helens and her parents Hannah and William were left with a huge choice on where to go next. While Macy Helens and her parents Hannah and William were pondering the decision, Laura Rose and her parents Amethyst and Topaz came to the same intersection from a different direction.

Macy Helens and her parents Hannah and William were very surprised to see them. As they walked together, both Macy Helens and Laura Rose were not scared of heights anymore.

By the end of the hiking trail, they were both sad but made plans to see each other in each other’s state. So Laura Rose went home happily and proudly. While Macy Helens and her parents Hannah and William went camping nearby.

The next day, Macy Helens and her parents left the campsite and went home happily rested while Macy Helens was very proud of herself.

My Adventure To Surprise Part 9

Hey, everyone! I went to Surprise, AZ for the end of May/beginning of June with my grandparents (also known as The Romano Duo). I would just like to share my adventure with you. By the way, some of the times aren’t accurate. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy!

June 4th, 2018:

I woke up around 8:00 am. I decided to make that day a relaxing day as well. So, I just played on my phones, ate meals, and colored in my giant coloring pad until my finger hurt. While I took a break, I sat outside and got to see an awesome sunset and a real hummingbird. I was able to get a few pictures (the hummingbird is now a guest visitor at the Romano Duo backyard)

Anyway, I got into to bed around 10:00 pm that night but I stayed up until 12:30 am that night.

June 5th, 2018:

I woke up at 9:00 am that day. Shortly after breakfast, I played on my phones and read. After lunch though, Patty and I went to the Surprise, AZ library (has a real name) to get me new books.

We were in and out in just 30 minutes which was crazy because I usually take 1 to 2 hours in libraries. Anyway once we got back, I colored some more. I managed to take a picture of a fully bloomed rose plant as well that day.

Around 8:30 pm, I sat outside to get fresh air. I also got more magical photos of the sunset. Again,  I got into bed around 10:00 am but played on my phone and read. Around 12:00 am, I went to sleep.

How Flowers Got Their Color

Hey, everyone! Since March 20th is the first day of spring this year, I decided to do a flower story. Here are some other blog posts that are related: https://lilliandarnell.com/2018/03/19/what-if-rainbows-were-magical/, https://lilliandarnell.com/2017/04/24/fairy-shadows/, and https://lilliandarnell.com/2017/04/10/princess-beauty/. I hope you enjoy!

Once long ago, there lived a tree called Magic Olaf and in that tree was tons of flower colors that Magic didn’t know what to do with. One day, Rose said, “Do you mind if I grab 2 colors for the game?”. Magic said, “Sure, you can. I was just trying to figure out what I should do with these colors. ”

“Thank you, Magic! I will have my flower friends pick some colors too which will fix your problem,” suggested Rose as she walked off with the colors pink and red. Shortly after Rose said those words, Dandelion walked up and asked, “May I have the yellow and neon orange for the game?” and Magic said, “Yes, you may.”

So Dandelion grabbed yellow and orange while Daffodil grabbed pale yellow and creamy yellow. So Rose wrapped the red color around the outside of her petals and the pink on the inside of her petals and she had borrowed a beautiful green to wrap around the stem.

The other flowers including Dandelion and Daffodil were doing the same as Rose. The game was to camouflage into the color they matched. Little did they know that an evil flower fairy put roots on all the flowers and they stayed with the colors they chose except the colors had melted into the ground.

So if you see any pretty colored flowers, chances are that they were in the game many years ago. That’s the end of the story. I hope you enjoyed this story! I also hope this story got you into a springy mood!

A Mindful Mermaid Story

Hey there! I think that mindfulness is a helpful thing to use. Hope you enjoy it. Visit my mindfulness blog post to learn more. I recently wrote Happy Dogs.

Mindful Mermaid

Once upon a time, there lived a mermaid who always had prefered to be having adventurous to staying in her mermaid cave. Her name was Evangeline E. (E stands for Emma) Rose. One day, her parents wanted her to be like her mermaid siblings. Despite what her parents wanted her to do, she wanted to be full of life. So she went to do some MM (mermaid meditation) to see who was right.

Even the meditation didn’t help, so she fretted until a fairy godmother suddenly appeared and Evangeline exclaimed, “Thank goodness! Can you help me decide who’s side to take?” So the godmother said, “Oh my goodness! I can help you by telling you to be mindful of your parents’ choice.” So Evangeline went to talk over her choice with her parents and after a while, they saw how mindful she was. They could also see that she had a point. So they let her continue to be adventurous and she lived happily ever after. That’s the story of how Evangeline learned to be mindful.

If you look carefully, you can see Evangeline being mindful. She might give you mindful advice!
