Recently, I was given the opportunity at Ahwatukee Children’s Theater to be Ariel in a Disney Princess event. During the event I did little girl’s makeup, nails, read them stories, sang songs, and signed autographs. The little girl in the photo on the bottom right taught me that you can make a difference in a little girl’s life by simply giving her attention. I watched as her eyes lit up. Showing her compassion through making this single moment something really exciting created a sparkling memory for her and hopefully left her feeling like a true princess.
