Musings from these two gems: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt (my first novel this year – equal parts heart breaking and warming, this ride fueled me with hope and wonder) and Big Magic (my third time re-reading this but every time, I’m full of brand-new awe)

There is magic. In the fact that you’re here, despite your fears persists courage. To create. To live. To realize life as it’s happening.

Magic is an everyday choice – the pursuit of bringing forth our treasures with vigor, with awe, with wonder. Uninterrupted wonder.

There is magic. Even when it’s harsh, when the waves crash with life’s rough and ragged edges.

Again, always having and choosing to choose. To make the most, to marvel at the coincidences, and to listen – and I mean really listen – to what this universe is trying to share, show, and say: the answers you’re looking and longing for, and the questions you should replace and let go. To make space for a second chance. Or, another dance.
