SHE'S GOT A LOT TO SAY

I write fairy tale journals for my friends here. The narrator in all of my fairytale journals is a spirit named Prudencia. Prudencia is funny, opinionated, and outrageous. She is very wise. 

Prudencia possesses all the qualities I wish I had. I think of her as my alter ego. Her voice is high-pitched and a little nervous. It combines Aunt Clara from Bewitched and Mrs. Mondello from Leave It to Beaver.

The only thing that I cannot take credit for is her name. The name Prudencia came from my favorite telenovela Lo Que La Vida Me Robo. It was the coolest character name in the series. When I heard the name I knew that I had to find a way to use the name in my journals

The following is the Christmas entry from Prudencia's journal.  She is fun to write. I  hope that you enjoy her holiday message.

Hello Dear Readers,

My name is Prudencia. You have probably heard of me. What?  What do you mean you have never heard of me?  I am crushed. Deeply crushed. I am giving you the benefit of my 5,000 years of wisdom. My friends are always saying to me, "Prudencia you don’t look a day over 2,000.". I eat healthily, drink plenty of fluids and I float for five miles every day. 

I am a spirit of love and light.   I was sent to Earth to help people who are alone or in some kind of peril. I wanted to be a fairy godmother. I tried so hard, but I failed the test. You have no idea how difficult a magic wand is to control. They are heavy too. I wanted to turn a  rock into a flower. I pointed the magic wand at the rock. That wand had a mind of its own. I’m serious. One minute my magic wand was pointing at the rock...The next thing I knew poof! The magic wand had changed directions. That wand had quite a kick... The smoke... I was wheezing for days.  I turned one of my boss’s assistants into a frog. He was so angry that he almost disappeared.  You never want good spirits to disappear. The universe needs all the positive energy it can get.

I like helping people. It makes me feel needed.  Human beings are inherently good. Sometimes they make bad choices. That’s where I come in. I try to watch over them, protect them, and guide them.  I care about all of the people that I am in charge of.  It is not just a job for me. it is a calling. I  want the people I care for to have the best lives they possibly can.  It is my job to make sure that they do.

I ponder about everything. I hope all of you like to ponder. Pondering is good for your brain.  I have been pondering about Christmas. Why do people get so caught up in the hustle and bustle?  That’s a fun expression to say. Try it. Ready?  Breathe in. Hustle. Breathe out. Bustle. Ah, it takes so little to make this spirit happy

The Christmas season is about love. Why don’t people realize that? What do they think Santa really represents? He is not about gifts, cookies, or candy canes. Although just between us, I have to admit I love a good rum ball and eggnog spiked with rum. Delicious.

People need to remember Peace and Goodwill the other 364 days of the year, not just on Christmas. Why is that so hard? I  ponder about that so much that I get a migraine? Spirits can’t take medication. We cannot fly if we do we nosedive straight to the ground. It's embarrassing. We just have to ride a headache out. It's exhausting.

I hope that you enjoyed my blog post. I have never been a guest blogger before. I hope I did not ramble too much. My friends tell me that I never know when to shut up.  I have been around for 5,000 years. I have a lot to say.

Ciao.

P.S. If I happen to be on your Christmas list there is a Kate Spade bag I have had my eye on.  I know Christmas is not about gifts, but I  just can not help it. A Kate Spade bag would make my entire century.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! SEASON'S GREETINGS! FELIZ NAVIDAD!

Oh, there I go again!
