As we head into the second half of September and busy is all around us it seems sometimes, after a while, it becomes very easy to believe that there is no such thing as magic. The adult world can do that to a person. As we go through our lives, it’s almost simpler (almost!) to favor fact over fiction.
It’s easy to allow that veil of adulthood to keep us from seeing that everything around us truly holds a bit of magic.
It’s in our everyday.
Coincidence. Déjà vu. Serendipity.
Magic is absolutely real.
And I don’t mean in the fluffy, woo woo, mystical dust way. I mean in the practical, our energy is moving forward all the time so be on the lookout for synchronicity everywhere, type of magic.
This is the magic of awareness, of believing in the greater good, of being led with your heart and not your ego.
This is the magic that makes miracles possible.
What does it look like?
It’s the coincidence of running into a colleague who’s in a last-minute time crunch and searching for a speaker of a topic you’d be perfect for.
It’s the déjà vu moment you have when you walk into the apartment you’re thinking of renting and instantly knowing you’ve been at home here before.
Its synchronicity where you think to yourself “I want two cookies but only want to pay for one” and you go into the bakery and the lady says “here’s two for the price of one” when you order.
Are you ready to welcome your own magic?
Follow these simple tips for clearing your space and energy to welcome your own magic. (I practice these every single day because they make the biggest difference and take no time at all!)
1. Write out your to-do list at night before you go to bed. That’s right! Before going to sleep jot down everything that needs doing for the next day and then drift off to dream land. This helps because when you wake up the next day you’re all set to go – no organization needed in the morning because you already have it laid out.
2. Clean off and organize your desk space every morning. When you have a clean and clutter-free workspace you’ll find the creative juices flow so much faster. Clear off that desk (every day) and watch the magic happen. (I’ve been known to find money when I clean off my desk… You may have no idea what’s hiding beneath those papers and coffee cups.)
3. Do not open your email until after you’ve completed at least two of your “To-Do” list items. When you start the day focused on your to-dos instead of email you get the momentum moving towards progress. In fact, it creates a ripple of energy to help you keep up the good work.
Now, be on the lookout for the sparkle that’s around you. Notice when the magic happens and be sure to celebrate the wins. The more you bring in the awareness, the more it finds you.
Open yourself to the magic and the possibility. It’s all around.

I love this blog. It is inspiring the daily ritual I have been seeking to keep me organized. Although not born and raised in Maine, I absolutely am a soulful one. Maybe because Portland is the port where my Great Grandmother came to, and many years later my Grandfather joined. With this in mind, part of my daily ritual is taking “the long” way to work up and over Munjoy Hill vs Franklin Street. I take in the sights, the unbelievable view of Casco Bay and Fort Gorges with all its history. This leaves me with a sense of calm and happiness at the start of every busy day. Give it a try!
Stunning! I love this idea and you’re so smart to incorporate the long way 🙂
Gail, this is such a gorgeous walk you do! I can only imagine the tone it sets for the rest of your day! Also, when I do walks lots of times I get “hits” about what direction to take, what’s next for ideas, etc. does this happen for you too? Thank you for sharing!! Xo Licia
I’m so excited to be a part of this guest blog series and I’m super pumped to hear what magic you’re cultivating in your life! Do tell 🙂 XO
Waking each morning and saying “Thank You”. Then I go through my mental list of all the wonderful things I have in my life.
Counting my blessings each morning sets a tone for the whole day.
Absolutely gorgeous practice. I love the idea of starting the morning with “Thank you.”
Sue – the #gratitudeattitude is the BEST was to start the day! It also moves the positive energy forward so that more thankfuls can make their way into the everyday. Love it!
