Let's Pretend We're Unicorns take a closer look at our feeling and attitudes and the effect on our relationships as well as our outlook. Fancy believes life on the old farm can't possibly make her happy until she becomes a unicorn, then her life will be perfect and completely trouble free. Fancy's cow friends try to help her understand how to find joy and contentment, without any success. Fancy isn't a bad horse, but because her life has actually been so very easy, she simply has no idea of all the wonderful blessings that she's been taking for granted, until one special night changes everything.


She finally learns that happiness wasn't far away after all, it was inside herself, all along. She discovers that she has the ability to choose what she will focus on, and how the impact of that decision influences her attitude and how she feels. She learns the path to friendship, is paved with kindness and if someone is hurt by something we may have said, even if it was unintentional, then apologies as well as forgiveness are needed to repair injured feelings, and lastly she finds inspiration in imagination as her dreams transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.


This story is designed to helps us recall that while we all need goals and dreams to enhance our life, we should never lose sight that the best "things" in life aren't things at all and that life doesn't have to be perfect to still be good.
