Since I just went through the midnight experience of New Year's Eve and had the Cinderella quote connection with the hostess and nothing happened I decided to check into the story a little more closely for a better clue, and surprise... I'm still lost.
Sure we all know Cinderella lost her shoe at the ball and Prince Charming came to find her, but what were the more subtle underlying messages of the story? I had to know to help me figure it out, or at least give me a clue.
After further review of the story I was reminded Cinderella was a hard worker, and her step-sisters treated her badly, ok... check. That fits right in with my work situation up until a few months ago, and that is when I had the tea leaf reading.
But there had to be more... so I kept reading. There are several different accounts, and one of them has Cinderella attending two balls.
In the first the Prince was taken with her but didn't get her name, the next night he held another ball and that is the one where she left in a hurry leaving the glass slipper behind.
Well, that doesn't really fit. There was no one glued to my side, and there was no second party. So the literal take on it is out.
Now to the figurative aspects... it could mean anything! Crap!
From gaining recognition or success after a period where your accomplishments have gone unnoticed... to a payoff for being gracious and kind hearted.
I'm still completely lost, and probably will be until 6 months after it happens and I look back and figure it all out.
Although if I had to guess I would go back to my earlier prediction that Prince Charming could be coming in the form of cash.
Every form of a dollar has a man on it, and I have been working really hard especially the past 6 months... so hopefully there will be a raise in my future.
But... for the record... I would certainly prefer a handsome Prince. The tea leaf reader did definitely lean that way in the reading, saying 'oh he's really close. He is going to treat you like a princess and you will have everything you want.'
In my research I found that Cinderella's mother died, which makes sense with the step-mother, but it was a detail I had forgotten. In one version her father also dies leaving her only with her step-mother and step-sisters.
While reading that, I came across a quote that resonated with me.... "No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true... "
That's encouraging... even if I don't live in a fairy tale.
It was a day full of Cinderella, early in the afternoon the Pixie sent me a text. All it had was a picture... and a smiley face.
'One shoe can change your life' - Cinderella
Oh that Cinderella..... she was one smart cookie.
Now if only she could tell me what her story means to my life.
