The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) Liminal lines on the calendar 05.24.2026 Planning my life by the moon has had some unexpected quirks. And this week is one of them. Because I didn't find this method in a book or on a viral TikTok, I have been living from within the learning and sharing the process with you. Living by the moon? I've been doing and teaching that for years. But putting it down on a paper calendar on with structure and purpose? That's a developing process. When...

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) Life is messy like that... 05.20.2026 One of the greatest things I've unlocked in the past few years is to learn to find the lessons in situations instead of just beating myself up over them.

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) Every tiny action builds momentum 05.06.2026 I found an interesting article this week by Angela Saini on National Geographic. It's not even new... its from 2024. But it talks about how the patriarchy is a system of oppression that isn't as neat to digest as most people think. And it got me to thinking... we don't have to live this way. When women finally decide to put their foot down and live a different way, the world changes. So this week we're...
