THOUGHTS: THE TRUTH ABOUT CINDERELLA

Woman want to be the heroine and have a hero come for them. When they are young, they want to be precious to someone---especially to daddy. As they grow older the desire matures to longing to be pursued, desired, wanted as a woman....At some core place. maybe deep within, perhaps hidden or buried in a woman heart, every woman wants to be seen, wanted, and pursued..... They want Daniel Lewis to look in their eyes and say ,"No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you".

Woman have a desire to possess a beauty that is worth pursuing, worth fighting for, a beauty that is core to who they truly are. They want beauty that can be seen, beauty that can be felt, beauty that affect others, a beauty all their own to unveil.And it's not just the desired for outward beauty, but more---a desire to be captivating in the depths of who a woman is. Cinderella is beautiful, yes, but she is also good. Her outward beauty would be hollow were it not for the beauty of her heart. In the Sound of Music, the Countess has Maria beat in the looks department, and they both know it, But Maria has a rare and beautiful depth of spirit. She ha the capacity to love snowflakes and mean-spirited children.

There is a rumor that the last czar of Russia, Anastasia escaped the assassin who murdered the rest of her family. She was a young girl when her family was executed, and it was said that she was still alive, somewhere out there in the world. Think of all the movies made along its themes, movies like Pretty Woman, and Ever After and A Cinderella Story......why is the notion of a hidden precess so enduring.
