Finding magic in your daily life helps to keep you inspired and keep those creative juices a flowin. I think it helps to keep a child-like mind in this regard, and really LOOK at all that is happening around you (and not on your phone). It actually makes me a little sad that now a days wherever you go people are all looking down at their devices. Even when they are in the most awe inspiring beautiful places, or with family/friends/lovers at a meal. Come on people, there is more to life than that!! A thought occurred to me the other day that what if humans evolve into these grotesque creatures with big looming eyes and hunched backs with necks that angle downwards in order to accommodate the constant, what I call, ‘phone hunch’. Not a pretty picture.
Let’s take a step back, and for fun (because well, it IS!) find a little piece of magic to be inspired by each and every day. It can be the smallest things like the nose kisses you get from your pets, or the way the smell of your morning coffee awakens your senses before you even take your first sip. To the big things, like being out in nature, traveling to a new city or country you’ve never been too and experiencing a totally different culture. You’ll find that if you do this on a daily basis that as each day passes you’ll feel more and more light, more inspired to create the world that you want to thrive in.
My magical inspiration of the day comes from the forests of Minnesota. When I was there it was so powerful, I just stood in awe of all of the amazing foliage bursting with colors only nature can perfect, and the way the leaves seemed like a delicate golden tiered stairway to the realm where the wood elves would play. Just seeing these pictures brings me right back to that place, that feeling.
As above, so below… so don’t forget to look beneath your feet, as even the forest floor has a tale to tell…
Hoping you all have a magical week!

This is such a great post. I can admit I am guilty of walking around looking at my device and not taking a moment to take the present moment in. I will start making a point to do that more often!
