magic....

magic is real.   


it's weird for me to even write that as a confirmation.  I know it's real...so I don't really need to confirm this to myself...but somehow...I feel it necessary to just...maybe...remind people....of magic...

and when I was driving today, with my little guy, I was just thinking of this post...about magic...and on the same wavelength...he said that...


he said.. magic is real.  


of daily magic....of imaginations running wild...of telling kids fascinating stories...that ring true to their little hearts and light up their faces...

and....needless to say..as adults we lose the amazement in the small things....that bring magic to hearts...we need to, not work harder at this...it shouldn't be hard work...we just need to open up to it and let it in...because it's there...it's already there.


when I told my kids that we have faeries living in our backyard....oh.my.goodness...the light that blasted out of their eyes...that....is magic.


when you dream....and let your day dreams consume you, filling you with warmth and smiles and sunshine....your body tingles in happiness.

that is magic.   

because in that magic....you've already put out there...what you want to happen...and those dreams float out into the world through words and actions and....just...become.  That's magic.

embracing the wonders of the world....the joys...all that there is to offer and to be offered.

submerged in magic...daily...finding that magic...every single day.

dream.

I read a quote saying- if your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough....dare to dream big...bigger than big.

I feel like painting rainbows and going out to look for faeries....I'll let you know, should I find some...

and today...

this is what happened...using my old paper...I guess I'm not ready to dive into the new stuff just yet...

and more...

This painting makes me feel....like a mermaid...who just got her legs....still just...transitioning.  I may have to try this one again on the arches paper...but for now, it was fun today...


and another look...enhanced....colors kicked up...

and last....

magic is real.  I feel it every time I listen and dance to Earth, Wind, and Fire....you know what I mean....or MJ....Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'....at the end...with all the 

mama say mama sa mamakusas

.... that....is...magic, but- gotta be really turned up....to at least 16...if your sound goes up that high.  


peace...and love...and of course, magic, and mermaids...and unicorns.  


and caffeine doesn't hurt either....when you need a kick in the magic.
