I was walking around outside thinking what can I write about in my blog this week. The word “magic” kept repeating in my head, so that’s what I’m writing about this week. When I think of the word “magic” I automatically think of spells, sorcery, witchcraft. Supernatural forces. Suddenly as if by magic the doors start to open or a magic wand. Making things appear or disappear.

Taking time out of your day to make someone else’s better through a kind word or deed. For the recipient this is magic. Falling in love, now that’s magic. The feeling of being swept off your feet. There’s nothing like it.

There are many songs with the word “magic” in them such as: “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” by The Police and “Magic” by Olivia Newton John. One line from ONJ’s song that resonates with me is “You have to believe we are magic. Nothing can stand in our way.” This resonates with me because it implies that we can make magic happen in our day to day lives. We are not ordinary beings. There’s something extraordinary and special in each of us. Anyone can do it. No need to be a witch or a magician!

“Magic lies in challenging what seems impossible.” Carol Moseley Braun, American politician.

Our ability to change or transform our lives can be considered magic. If we think something is impossible or can’t be done we are limiting ourselves. Let us challenge this perception and believe with hope, faith and trust in our hearts that anything is possible. Let’s remember we are magic.

Blessings to all xx
