Our Story…

One night as the stars looked down upon the land they noticed two of their dreamers were unhappy. So much in fact they had almost completely lost their inner glow. They were so dim, in fact, the stars were alarmed at how they had almost overlooked them once more. As they gathered together and discussed who had been watching them, sadly, the two had just slipped through the stars' eyes night after night. Worried they had lost the two for good, the Old Wise Moon gathered them up and as he spoke the stars looked up to him in great awe.

"You see little stars, sometimes when you have the constant dreamers from such a young age, you may take for granted their souls will always shine bright to easily watch from above. Now as you have seen their natural glow and love for life can attract someone who may not quite be the right match for them but is intrigued at their ability to believe in things greater than can be explained by science and logic. They try to make everyone around them as happy as they are but sometimes it just doesn't work out. As they do not like to fail, they stay where they are and hope for the best. Unfortunately, the hope becomes dimmer and dimmer as does their own inner glow. They never notice it, constantly trying to fix the wrongs and holding up two people can be very difficult for one little empty soul. Be glad you noticed their last little bit of hope. There is always time for a change. I must insist each of you spread amongst them, of course watching others as well, but take special care for these two. Their wishes have not been selfish and it is time they ask for something for themselves. Let us hope they catch the falling stars we send in their paths."

The stars did as they were told with great speed and very much care. While one has only known the blue waters of the Pacific, she took this night to walk outside and look up. Smiling for all the stars in her view twinkled in delight and shimmered in her heart. Small warmth near her heart grew and grew…

…along the East Coast, a girl threw her hands up for the last time. She walked out on to her deck and leaned against the railing. She wanted something more but felt so stuck she had no idea what to do. Something pulled her head toward the sky. Living in the city she couldn't always take advantage of the stars but tonight was different. She smiled at them like they could smile back, she forgot how much she enjoyed the night sky. She felt a little better inside, something felt right about being out here and she too, could feel warmth near her heart.

The stars, thankful for the luck of the night, took the opportunity to send the last little push each of them needed. Two very special stars took it upon themselves to shoot across the night and sacrifice life in the sky to turn into their destiny… a wish.

With the most eerie mirrored affect, each star took off with all their fierce and might to burn so very bright and at that very moment both girls took a deep breath, closed their eyes and made a wish…
