Your word for 2020 is an umbrella word for how you want to feel most of the time and what you want to experience. It’s a touchstone for when to say, “Hell yes!” and when to say, “No, thank you.” Since my word for 2020 is MAGIC, I'm sharing my Manifesto for Magic with you. In case you want more magic in your life, too.

Meditating on the moon is at once grounding and uplifting. With your body resting on the earth and your eyes to the sky, it’s hard not to feel lifted out of your worries, plucked from your grievances, and planted firmly in the knowing that life on earth is a gift.

October is my favorite month. The colors, the cooler air but still sun on your skin, the transformation that happens right in front of your eyes. Year after year, it's still a thing of magic. So I wrote you some October affirmations to help you embrace the beauty of the season, the joy of being here, right now.

I hope you look for one thing and, by chance, find something else beautiful and true. I hope that wherever you look, you see a piece of yourself in everything, and recognize in yourself an entire universe... In the end, I hope you find what you're looking for, especially when it's not what you set out to find.

The purpose of life, before anything else, is to live. You know, what’s the point of life if you’re not living it as fully as you know you could? If you know your life could feel more vibrant and full and fulfilling, read this mindfulness poem. It’ll remind you to tend to the smallest things, craving your attention.

I wanted to share this short poem about you being here, and what a miracle that is, in case it's something you need to hear today. I want you to close your eyes and imagine the stardust that makes up your very soul. I want you to put all of yourself into each moment, wherever you go. I want you to live.

Being in mindful contact with nature is a powerful reminder that beauty is everywhere — shining forth from every little flower and patient tree, from the light dancing on the water’s surface, from the celestial celebration in the night sky. To relieve stress and come back down to earth, try this nature mindfulness walk. It’s a breath of fresh air.

You know when you see signs that you KNOW are meant for you? You see hearts everywhere, in the clouds and leaves, on street signs, or certain animals or words keep showing up. You feel… seen, heard somehow. If you haven’t seen one in a while, let this be your sign that you're ready to receive whatever it is you need.

It’s true: the more I learn, the less I know. Also true: it’s OK not to have all the answers. It’s actually freeing, maybe even a tad magical. Embracing the unknown might be one of the most freeing practices you could ever journey through. This poem is a gift of space, if nothing else — always leave room for wonder.
