This reminds me of my favorite things. The Paper Bag Princess, a book, and Mulan, my ut-most favorite all time Disney movie! Thank you so much!

Now, I will have to read the Paper Bag Princess. I have seen Mulan, and love it, too! Thank YOU so much for your kind words!

I think it's so clever how you are using themes of "bad feelings" to go with the elements. Love "overwhelmed" here as the symbolic feeling for water.

Thanks! Overwhelmed is what I would feel, if I fell in to a raging sea.

P.S. Awtry
