2024-04-18 It’s only life after all…
Today I’m “jumping into this day from yesterday’s sin.” I didn’t promise part two of the post I wrote last last week about “Small Magic” because the Universe has a way of thwarting my plans. But Huzzah! Here I am fresh from reading what I wrote that day and back to continue the conversation. And…

2024-04-09 Being Open for Small Magic…
A few times recently I’ve had a spark of inspiration… something that feels noteworthy for one reason or another, but I just kind of ruminate on it for a minute, and then let it go. It’s like Elizabeth Gilbert talks about in Big Magic. Ideas are floating around the ether, looking for a host that…

Sometimes you stumble upon a show that just gets you. That hits every note and at the same time, miraculously also helps you discover something new about yourself. Yup. That’s “Tiny Beautiful Things.” On Hulu. Ok. Thinking about this is making me feel a little uncanned. Uncanny? Un-something and also quite validated. Strange, yes, but…
