Positive Thinking Does Not Pay the Bills
Positive thinking does not pay the bills. I am currently unemployed. I suddenly have a lot of time on my hands. As well as a really screwy sleep schedule.

All Hail the Pumpkin King!
All hail the pumpkin king! Last night my friend and I went to see “Danny Elfman’s Music From the Films of Tim Burton” at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. I’m not a HUGE fan of Elfman or Burton, but the iconic films like Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Big Fish, are certainly in my top ten.

Magic: Day 14 of 31
The magic of a cup of tea.
We haven’t quite mastered the art of ease and grace when it comes to visiting family and friends.
Often we blow through town like a hurricane seeing one person for a few hours and then off to the next location.

Magic Days 12-13 of 31: The Magic of Family
The magic of family.
We have been traveling this last week visiting family.
Visiting my family hasn’t always been easy.
Adolescence can be difficult for both teenager and parent. And if you’re not careful that stuff can easily carry into adulthood.
For me some of it did. As a child from a divorced family, a blended family, and young parents, I often resented the fact that I didn’t have the picture perfect upbringing.

The Magical Float: Magic Day 11 of 31
The magical float.
I swam today for the first time in a long time.
Being overweight most of my life I had forgotten the feeling of weightlessness.
In meditating on weightlessness I think about all of the heaviness I carry in my life.

The Magical Tent
The Magical tent.
Yesterday as my honey and I were driving over to my sister’s for a visit, he said:
I wish we were camping.
Later that night as we were discussing sleeping arrangements, my sister told us about this awesome tent she has.
And like magic, we were camping in her living room.

What is an Altar? Magic Day 4 of 31
What is an altar?
For me, it is a place where I keep items that have special significance or are important for me to honor in some way. My altar is where I go, when I need to be reminded of who I really am. When I need to be reminded that I am loved. Every piece on or around my altar, my sacred space, carries with it a story of love.

Magic Day 2 of 31: Magic Rituals
And that’s the thing about creating magic with ritual. There are two parts. The first is the creation of magic (or magical energy) through ritual, and second is the magic being received by another in the form of messages, signs, or energy. My hope is that when she reads the messages intended for her, it will feel magical.
