i could post a bunch of magical photos about things that have been special lately. but i don’t want to lose sight or touch of the magic that is in the mundane, day-to-day things. i want to care about the hand-painted fish on my necklace. i want to always show up with flowers to the function for others. i want to accidentally spend three hours in the ribbon store, then get cocktails with friends on a random wednesday night. i want to think of someone i care about and send a message to let them know. i want to be brave enough to also not do that. it's hard living with such an open heart. anyway, i want to be so excited about the latte the barista made me, and live with deep gratitude that they gave me lavender syrup at no charge, and put flower garnishes on top as a treat. i want to enjoy the quiet moments of lighting my candles before a workshop. i want to take a moment to pause and get grounded, always, but especially right before i hold the spaces i create for other people. i want to always get the table pancakes, cut up bites for the people i love, and put syrup on them. always chocolate chip. i want to enjoy a steak dinner made for one by me, and light my candles and take my time eating a dinner i made for myself on my heart-shaped plate. i want to enjoy orange juice in a nice glass and take my time drinking it. i want to go to the venue, look up, and be in awe of the architecture. i want to sit down, enjoy the opener, and then go back to people-watching. there is a lot of magic in the in-between of headliner and opener. i want to keep believing in magic, and trust my higher power. i want the moon to tell me things, and i want to believe in it. i want to keep going with my knowing and learn to trust myself better. i want to promise to look at the sun when it's in my face. i want to be better at slowing down. i want to be more comfortable in that stillness when i'm alone. i want to love, dance, kiss, and hug. this post is about the magic in the day-to-day. i feel my seasonal sadness coming in, and i'm fighting it!!!! i'm fighting it by living hard and trying my best! i welcome all feelings, persons, and emotions.
