About magic and re-reading my life.

Celebrating a year of blogging over here by re-posting some of my favorite articles from the last 365 days.  I hope you enjoy this walk back to the past.

Magical thinkings.

Brush script by Free-Bird Art 2011

Hello.

There has been a fair share of magic going on over here and I want to share.

The image above evolved from the connection between creativity and the dreams of my heart.  Their marriage produced a sweet little idea in my head: "Magic exists in the moments that matter" and my new-found love of Brush Script helped bring it to life.
Magical.
I am in love with Brush Script (in case I hadn't already mentioned it) and this here is the magical lady who introduced me to it.  If you are at all interested in quotes, song lyrics, thoughts that inspire and want to learn a really awesome way to produce them yourself to hang around your house: you should sign up for her online course.  YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!   She is displaying her work tonight, as a matter of fact, at an invite only show in Winnipeg Manitoba.  Wish I could be there!

I am in the process of creating a space in my home that will be just for me and my art.  A little, sweet cozy corner for creativity to blossom and I am completely enamoured!
Magic.

My children are fully in the throes of September and School and BOTH OF THEM are thriving!  I cannot even articulate how magical this is.  From last year to this, THRIVING is a big leap for both of them.  My son is in high school and for the last two years he was barely skimming the surface.  Now he is engaged and full of passion to learn, to grow and to conquer goals.  I love seeing this evolution happen before my eyes and I am so proud of his "take-charge" attitude this year.  You go, my young man, you go.
My sweet girl is in her second year of school and she started off as the only one in her class who could read.  She's gained confidence and security in this place and her little spirit is opening up wide to soak in the wonders of learning.  Wow.
Magic abounds here!
My darling love just recently returned to work closer to home.  This means more togetherness, more family time, more time for him to be in his comfort zone.
That's the best kind of magic there is.

September is winding down (already!) and it has been a lovely month.  When it arrived on my doorstep, I sent out a little request, and I am happy to report that my prayer was answered and keeps on being fulfilled every day.  This week, sweet September is showing its true nature and has thrown in the mixed bag of goods around these parts.  I actually love that, because it gives us time to adjust.  The first few weeks were still summery and warm.  This week, we are seeing patches of sun mixed with days of rain, and that means we get to light our home fires, cook up batches of soup and pumpkin muffins and snuggle in deep with our loves.  So much magic.

So...Magic does exist.  In the moments that matter, you see?  Do you believe in magic?  Where does your magic happen?

I would love to hear your stories of magical goings-on.
