From birth, my family got me enamored by Disney. I watched the movies so many times. In fact, I dressed up as Cinderella in pre-school (that’s one of my favorite tales). Each of them taught me the morals I go by to this day. How beauty comes from the inside; that even the poorest person can have a happy ending. There are many others, but this post would go on forever if I listed them all.
My love of Disney then lead to a fascination with the original fairy tales. The darker themes and details added extra meaning to the stories. It seemed more realistic, dealing with genuine tragedies of reality: poverty to the point of starvation (Jack and the Beanstalk) and the deadly consequences of not following orders (Little Red Cap).
When it came time to choose seminars, this one had almost not competition. I had to learn more. The very idea of delving deeper into these grim tales intrigues me. And all I can say is, I hope my time here ends “happily ever after”.
