Which of these Cinderella quotes is your favorite?

Hopefully, you aren’t up too late (past midnight?) but I am glad you came to find a little inspiration.

It can be hard to believe in your dreams when the evil stepmothers (not mine, she is amazing) of the world go out of their way to make life difficult.

Take a moment and realize that the magic needed lies in the power of believing in yourself, your friends and the people who love you.

I doubt anyone is going to show up with a magic wand, a pumpkin, and some friendly mice…but you never know what magic looks like.

Maybe, its that opportunity just waiting for you to inquire.

Magic could look like a connection you will make through a friend.

You might stumble across something that is a perfect fit.

Try it on, and when you are in doubt, whisper a little bibity-bobity-boo and just keep going.
