Open the closet door, look under the bed and turn off your nightlight. Your childhood monsters may look a bit more enticing this time around. Conjure your fantasies or merry myths and pull forth a princess from your childhood dreams or that adventure through sugarplum forests…and where did I put my delightfully dazzling dragon?

So pull out your ruby slippers, put on your fluffy tail and ask the Cheshire cat which way is up and which way is down.
