DARUMA DOLL
If you have a goal or dream that you'd love to achieve, you might need the help of a daruma! Darumas are round Japanese wish dolls that are typically red, with a moustache and beard, and blank white eyes. The daruma's pupils are supposed to be filled in while you think of a wish or a goal—first, you fill in a single eye, then when your wish comes true or the goal is achieved, you fill in the second eye. With the daruma around, you will always be reminded to reach for your dreams!
