The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) What we can do to make a difference 10.26.2025 As a girl who grew up on Mr. Rogers, I was taught to always look for the helpers. But when it seems like there are no helpers in charge, we have to become them. I've said time and time again that this is how the matriarchy starts.

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) Because we have to build the world we want 10.22.2025 At this point, it's pretty obvious that the US government is failing it's citizens, right?

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) how I extend the magic past Halloween 10.12.2025 If you know me, you know I LOVE Halloween. I mean, what witch doesn't? And as much as I've always adored Halloween, after deconstructing religion, Christmas always left a bad taste in my mouth. Which is why we started celebrating Witchmas.
