Childhood Dreams Come True: Manifestation is Real
To anyone that needs to hear it: Childhood dreams can come true. My mother recently unearthed a long forgotten assignment from my 13 years of Catholic school. So much to unpack here beginning with the cover. St. Anne the Patron Saint of Fashion is confidently posing with both hands on her perfectly angled waist which is twisted just so to accentuate the cross knee toe point. The Fashion Plate St. Anne is keeping watch over her flock donning an 80’s power suit replete with a white double breasted suit jacket, princess puff shoulders and hot pink collar, cuff and buttons to match her hot pink pencil skirt and heeled open toe mules. She could also be selling you Mary Kay Cosmetics and tooling around the heavens in a pink Cadillac. Apparently, I and the other 6th graders were asked to imagine ourselves as the Patron Saint of (fill in the blank) and then describe the 3 miracles attributed to our respective saint that qualified us for canonization aka sainthood. In addition to the macabre fact that one needs to be be dead for the miracles to count, it is an amusing read. As St. Anne the Patron Saint of Fashion I was able to save some deserving damsels in dress distress and make them the belle of the ball. Upon re-reading it is obvious that I am leaning heavily into fairy tale trope as well as having little regard for paragraphs, a thesaurus and punctuation, but the assignment is a testament to staying true to the passions of our youth despite some obvious cringe. Manifestation is real.
