🪄Ophelia’s 🌈 Journal📜🦄: Come for the insights. Stay for the panic...
Leave with new fonts and a tiny dragon voice in your head whispering, “But what shape are you, really?”
I’m Ophelia, and I’ve arrived precisely whenever this is! I’m a Doxie—tiny dragon, full of magic, mischief, and a deeply unstable relationship with time. I’m a student here at the 🪄Business Witch Academy💸, but I also dabble in design, assist with magical logistics, and sometimes get caught in philosophical arguments with spreadsheets that try to bite me.
When I’m not knocking over ink bottles or having a deeply emotional revelation about kerning, I run Ophelia’s Bazaar, a swirling, glitter-swirled shop where I sell art forged in the fire of questionable decisions and entrepreneurial hope.
I write these stories because I believe business is just another kind of magic—and because Cheryl said I needed to stop monologuing at enchanted tea kettles in the middle of the chow hall and start processing my thoughts in writing. So here I am - covered in ink, missing a shoe, and somehow holding some else’s pen - where did my enchanted quill go? Welcome to the inside of my brain. Please watch your step. 🐾🌪️💸

This is what happens every time I talk to Cheryl:
I ask her for directions, and she hands me a treasure map.
I come looking for a band-aid, and she hands me the cure for all my business ailments plus a productivity spell that makes time stretch in my favor!
Here are some of the things I've learned at the Business Witch Academy Recently:
💡 Punished for Being Better
Did you know pricing hourly actually punishes you for getting better at your craft? The faster you work, the less you earn. Madness, right?
💡Sacred Branding Geometry
Just last week, Cheryl casually dropped a knowledge bomb about branding that blew my little dragon socks off - as a side tangent while she was helping someone revamp their newsletter templates. Did you know your brand isn’t just colors and fonts? Oh no, my dear friends—it’s SHAPES. Yes, SHAPES. Turns out, the angles, curves, and even the way your images are arranged all whisper subliminal messages to your audience. I thought I was just making things “look cool,” but no—there’s a SYSTEM. A SCIENCE. A SECRET LANGUAGE OF GEOMETRY.
I was sitting there, eating my snacks, minding my own business, and suddenly I have a new existential crisis about how rounded corners vs. sharp edges define my personal brand.
If that’s the kind of insight she casually throws out in passing, imagine what happens when you ask her something ON PURPOSE! 😱🔥
✨ Step into a world where time bends like a slinky, reality twists like a dragon’s tail, and imagination flows like enchanted rivers! 🌊🌀
I’m Ophelia 🌈, a magical time traveling Doxie, and proprietor of Ophelia's Bazaar.
🌠 Inspired by the wild and ever-changing landscapes of my adventures, I transform ordinary objects into magic-infused treasures for witches and other mystical folks who crave the extraordinary.

All I can say is next time you're scheduled to talk to her, honestly, just show up, be ready to take notes…
Scratch that, that's bad advice.
Remind her to hit record on the call, because you're note taking - it won't work. You'll never keep up or capture it all. Just sit back, soak it all in, ask all the questions you can, and then watch the replay in slow motion.
So I'll see you at our next live support group call right?
Come for the insights, stay for the mind-blowing epiphanies, and leave with the ability to see branding in shapes like you’ve just been handed the Matrix code.
See you there!
Your tiny business dragon, ✨
Ophelia 🌈
