Hans and Olaf went back to their tribe…they had to recover from all their adventures! Nixie decided to tag along and practice her Sacred sparkly star spreading …. And also to learn some cookie snitching techniques from the masters of the art … Hans and Olaf. All is well .
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who followed along and interacted with my story. Hard to believe it’s the fourth year.
Try taking a bite of your own Sacred Star cookie and let your light shine !
A special thanks Paul and Miles who helped with the setups. Only poles and fishing line were used…. Love, Nancy.

Rebunka knew that Nixie was a Star Being filled with light and love. She had seen it in her scrying bowl ( a bowl of water that foresee things to come ). She sent a message to Nixie’s grandmother via her scrying bowl ( she had one too) that all was well . The awakening was complete. She signed it … “ your loving soul sister, Rebunka “.

When Nixie arrived, she realized the ceremony was for her. Schmedley presented the Sacred Star cookie to her and told her that her Star Light had been awakened. She could spread love and joy by flicking her wrists. Nixie felt a warm glow throughout her body and started emitting beautiful sparkling stars !!! She had honored her true being . She also got to eat the cookie. Rebunka, the wise guardian of the Sacred Pool , was watching it unfold across the water …..

It was a journey filled with challenges … including crossing the frigid stream. Olaf carried Hans but Nixie had to swing on the bamboo to get across. She kept focusing on the Star and it gave her the courage she needed. They finally reached the Sacred Pool.

They made it to Schmedley’s and were embraced with love and warmth when they entered his kitchen. He made the most magical cookies. He said they could nibble on any cookies except the Star Cookie. Of course, Nixie was drawn to the Star and when she touched it her whole body tingled. She backed away but couldn’t stop staring at it . The trio noticed a sign ( that Schmedley had left in a conspicuous place ) noting a special Solstice ceremony at the Sacred Pool. Nixie knew she had to be there no matter how hard the journey.

Olaf thought Hans was yelling go instead of stop and they ran into a snow bank. Hans, Olaf and Nixie ended up headfirst in the snow ! They had to walk the rest of the way to Schmedley’s home .

Hans thought it was time to take Nixie to Schmedley for advice. They had the crazy idea to take the gator . Olaf was at the pedals, Hans in between relay messages and Nixie steering. It doesn’t seem like the smartest way to get there !!

The mischievous trio couldn’t sleep so they decided a midnight cookie snitch was in order. Of course, sliding down the banister was the only way to go !
