August 28, 2025Dear Diary,We moved into our new house in Moon Hollow today. It’s way bigger than our old one, and guess what—we have our very own yard now! Right near the edge of the Woods, there’s a huge old oak tree. It looks like it’s been standing there forever.Daddy says the tree—and the Hollow—are special. He told me a story about how they got their names. One night, the full moon was bigger and brighter than anyone had ever seen. The silvery light beamed through the branches and settled on the bark of the tree. The whole tree glowed so bright, that all of the animals gathered around to watch.The next day, a glowing spiral was left on the bark. And from that day on the tree could whisper moonlight magic, but only to those that needed to hear. Daddy said that the animals still visit when they need to feel safe. Tonight, it’s so hot I had to crack my window open. The oak is right outside, and I keep wondering if the animals still gather there. I hope they don’t peek in!My new room is bigger than my old one. There’s space for all my books and I got a new unicorn picture that is so beautiful! But it still doesn’t feel like mine yet. I miss the way my old room smelled like lavender.I keep thinking about school starting soon. I’m so bad at making friends. What if they don’t like girls like me? I wonder if the tree can whisper to me too.Gia 🦄August 29, 2025Dear Diary,This morning when I woke up, something amazing was waiting for me. on my window sill! There was a glowing leaf! It had a spiral moon symbol on one side, and on the other, words written in light.It said: “My courage is quiet. My courage is bright. It glows in my heart like a lantern at night.”I held it in my hands and it felt warm, like it was alive. Daddy told me Willow and the Whispering Oak must have left it for me, to remind me that I’m braver than I think. I believe him.I tied a string on the end of it so I can wear it around my neck. It feels like a charm, like it belongs to me. Whenever I get scared—like when the woods creak at night or when I think about starting school—I’ll hold it close to my heart and remember the lantern inside me.I think the tree really can whisper to me!Gia 🦄September 10, 2025Dear Diary,Last night I met a new friend from the Hollow. He was small, and he had a bright bluish light, kind of like the color of the moonlight! I went to my window when I started to feel all shaky inside, he blinked his light in a way that helped me breath along with him until my chest felt calm again.He gave me another glowing leaf. But instead of letting me keep it, he carried it to the Whispering Oak and showed me something amazing!Daddy says the Oak remembers the leaves, so I’ll always have a way to look back and see the brave things I’ve done. I still wear my first leaf around my neck, but now the tree holds the new one.I think the Hollow has more secrets waiting for me. Maybe they will help me grow even braver!Gia 🦄October 31, 2025Dear Diary,Halloween-time in Moon Hollow was different than anywhere else I’ve ever lived. The Hollow felt like it was alive, like the trees and shadows were playing tricks. I met another friend — someone who showed me that even when things feel spooky, there can be light hiding inside the dark.This week I painted a picture of myself from my dreams — I had wings and sparkles like a beautiful flutterby. I loved it but the kids at school made fun of it. I was feeling really sad so I went to the Oak to see Willow -- and guess what? I met a tiny new friend! She showed me that even if you’re different you can still sparkle in your own special way. So for Halloween this year, Mom helped me dress up like the girl in my painting. I was so sparkly! I thought the kids were going to laugh again, but I didn’t care. But something truly magical happened instead that I’ll never forget!….Oh, Daddy’s calling me. I’ll write more about it later!Gia 🦄🎃November 20, 2025Dear Diary,Thanksgiving is coming soon. In school we wrote about what we are thankful for. I wrote that I'm thankful for Mom and Dad, because they always make our house feel safe and cozy. And I’m thankful for my little brother, even when he plays with my toys without asking or eats the last cookie. He makes me laugh every single day though.I’m also thankful for my new friends in Moon Hollow. Willow watches over me from her branch. The Whispering Oak always feels like it’s listening, even when I don’t say anything out loud. And Lumie and Breza — they remind me that even small lights can make big magic.I think that’s my favorite part of Thanksgiving — feeling connected to everything, even the quiet things.Gia 🦄🦃December 18, 2025Dear Diary,The Hollow looks so different in winter. The branches are bare, but the snow makes everything sparkle, like the whole forest is covered in tiny little stars. It's been so cold, I hope all of the fireflies and butterflies are cozy somewhere warm. Sometimes it feels quiet, but definitely not empty — there is a pretty crimson red cardinal that chirps every morning so loud I can even hear him with my windows closed!Last night we drove through town on our way to see Santa, and all the houses had Christmas lights twinkling. Some were rainbow, some were just white, and one had a giant glowing reindeer on the roof! It made everything feel cozy, like the whole town was wrapped up in magic.I can’t wait for Santa to come next week! I wonder if he and the animals of the Hollow know each other -- I forgot to ask him. I’ve been thinking about what to get my little brother — maybe something to cuddle or a new race car. I want it to be special, because he’s so special to me --even though he does bug me a lot.Gia 🦄🎄
