Creating Magic: Turning Dreams into Reality
This is where the magic happens!
Once we’ve dreamed big and dared to live boldly, the next step is weaving that energy into the world—creating magic.
Magic isn’t just spells or crystals (though I love those too); it’s the intentional act of bringing something into being that didn’t exist before. It could be a piece of jewelry, a ritual, a blog, or even a more authentic version of yourself.
Creation is the universe moving through your hands, your voice, your choices. Every time you create, you add light to the world. You add sparkle!
How to create more magic:
Set intentions. Begin your creations with purpose, no matter how small.
Stay present. Magic happens in the now, not in the “someday.”
Celebrate. Acknowledge your creations, whether tiny or monumental—they’re all part of the spell you’re weaving.
The truth is: You are the magician. Your life is your canvas. And when you dream big, live boldly, and create with love, the world becomes a little more extraordinary.
How am I creating magic in my world this week?
By simply creating! I’m taking the time to do something imaginative and artistic. This also allows me to take time for myself, out of the craziness and the chaos. I put on some music or the tv, ignore my phone, and just make something. I don’t think about the shop, weightlifting, or any other pressures or responsibilities.
This week I am working on decoupage cigar boxes, and also making jewelry. I’ve been making jewelry my whole life. The decoupage thing is new! I blame my artist daughter, Zoe, for this one. She loves a good mixed media art project, and so do I. I found a few vintage cigar boxes in my antique store/swap meet rounds recently and now I’m down a whole rabbit hole of decoupage!
