blunt bangs away from my face, I whispered into the wind, “Universe, Spirits, Angels and Guides. Receive my eternal gratitude for all that is. I ask for clearer guidance, as I will listen with a sharper ear. May this talisman heighten my intuition. To receive your messages more clearly. So mote it be.”
    The branches howled as though the Universe was talking back to me, receiving my prayer, my desires and my needs.
    I knew I should get back to the shop and let Faith go back to her job, but I couldn’t stop my mouth from chanting. My fists balled, I opened my fingers wide, my fists balled again, pumping blood through my veins. It was important as ever to hear my intuition.
    A tree branch snapped, popping my eyes open. Through a clearing behind Glorybee, I saw a couple women walking and talking.
    “I’m thrilled they have the new bed and breakfast, Maple,” the one said to the other.
    “Me too. Now we can take our time through the shops and not rush around in one day.” The two scurried off toward town.
    “That way,” I sighed and headed in the direction from where they had emerged. “Yep. That way.” I smiled as Mr. Prince Charming darted out from behind a tree and down the path leading me to the front steps of Full Moon Bed and Breakfast Treesort. Faith was going to have to hold down the fort at the shop a little longer. Not only was my intuition telling me to check out Full Moon, my curiosity was with my cat and I was going to chase him.
    “What in the hell?” My eyes squinted trying to take in the massive structure nestled deep within in the forest among other trees.
    “It’s a Treesort.” Amethyst caught me off guard. A smile upon her face. “I knew there was nothing like it around here, except Eloise Sandlewood’s home. They are very popular in the villages out west, but I’m assuming you know that since you were the Village President.”
    Ahem , I cleared my throat. I wasn’t sure I wanted to fight or run. I decided to fight when I saw Mr. Prince Charming dart up the stairs.
    “I think you have my history all wrong.” I started to say but she rudely interrupted me.
    “Since your familiar has decided to take a tour, would you like to follow?” she asked, talking about Mr. Prince Charming.
    “Yes. I’d love to.” The fight was not in me. Keeping the peace was. “This is a very interesting concept.”
    I had to admit, I was intrigued. I followed her up the double-decker set of steps to the A-frame wooden structure, seeing nothing but a wall full of windows.
    The inside of the resort reminded me of the interior of a ski lodge. In the middle of the open large room, a stone fireplace warmed the room with the roaring fire. All the walls were floor to ceiling windows giving the most spectacular views of Whispering Falls.
    “Here is where our customers can come and get a snack and on the other side of the fireplace is the large kitchen. The breakfast side of the business.” Amethyst’s heels clicked, her skirt swooshed around the fireplace.
    The other side had two large farm tables and benches on each side. They were set with dishes, utensils, chalices, and cloth napkins ready for someone to sit and partake in the delicious smells coming from the boiling pot on the gas stove.
    “I’m making beef stew if you would like to sample.” Amethyst slid with grace over to the stove and slowly stirred the soul-warming food.
    “I’m good.” I patted my stomach. “But this is amazing.”
    “When I approached the Elders about my idea, they loved it.” She tented the pads of her fingers and drummed them. “I told them I was going to visit my friend in Whispering Falls and they told me there was a desperate need for something exactly like this due to the rapid economic growth of the community.”
    “Yes.” I shook my head and grabbed Mr. Prince Charming off the counter next to the stove. He definitely wanted a taste of the stew. I held him in my arms and stroked him. “I’m shocked it’s in the
