Annansa, so kind of you to find this space, create an account, and come to leave a comment. I really appreciate that! Thank you ❤ You DEFINITELY have some big magic in your presence and beautiful, kind energy.
Thank you so much Donna, I really appreciate that. It makes me more motivated and excited to share these visual instalments! I'd love to hear about your magic, but no pressure!
Oh I'm so glad to hear that Rose, and thank you for your comment. I can hear the whales and long to be underwater with them. Comfort in the eyes - I love that visual too. We do give so much comfort with our looks. Songs and prayers are certainly magick too ❤
We certainly do all need connection. Absolutely. Some of my earliest posts on here were about connection, all those months ago! Thank you John, I have no doubt that all of the people you are connecting with or to each other appreciate it 😊
The magic I’m holding is my vulnerability. To be able to share my truth in a raw and unfiltered way that allows my light to shine... and maybe inspires others to be more open along the way too. I posted one of my most vulnerable shares online this past Sunday. Feeling really proud of that. Overall, I agree that sometimes we don’t need more to read. We’re already consuming so much information that it can dilute our inner voice in the guise of “learning more” you’re actually learning less about you
Thank you, Vipul, and well done for that vulnerable post. Go gently with yourself, remember that a vulnerability hangover can come in waves and sometimes floor us after we open up online about something. I'm sure it wasn't easy, but worthwhile and no doubt inspiring to others.
Thank you Tamzin for this prompt and image. The magic I'm holding today is the ability to create in clay with my hands, as I look at your image I am reminded of how yesterday in the midst of heavy grief I pounded clay, rolled it through my fingers and started sculpting from a large block of clay, with no image in mind, I allowed the energy that was coming through me out my fingers to the clay to form, mold, like a phoenix rising, an angel began to appear.
What emerged was what I call a "peace angel" and while it may not look beautiful in the moment, in the creating the grief flowed and my heart felt more peace, more calm. So often, when I find myself in dark moments I go to the silence of my studio with clay and what emerges are some of the most intriguing and beautiful pieces. I realize that my magic is the ability to transform and alchemize---an alchemy that is often times tender and raw, as raw as the clay --as it thins it becomes soft and fragile. So often the thin clay cracks and breaks, and in those cracks are more beauty to behold.
May we all find peace on this journey and recognize when the magic appears it can heal and transform us from the depths of despair to hope and beauty. It's beautiful magic when we pause, notice and reflect. Thank you for this opportunity to show up in honest reflection.
True alchemy Karen! This is so beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us. I find myself so intrigued and I'd love to see your creations, I can imagine that they convey so much emotion and peace. Sending you strength for the grief you're holding too, it sounds like you have a profound method for caring for yourself through it but even so, it's not easy ❤️
While staying on a very small community, the wonderful host was filling a bucket with water. When she tried to close the faucet, the handle broke and was just spinning around. I approached to see how I could help, tilted the handle so it grabbed onto the remaining pats and twisted it close.
“You have the gift of the hand” she said as she kindly smiled
And as it might look a bit directed on the material, I realized that if things can be fixed or attended to, then we can have a moment for ourselves as we can now use the tools in this world to continue our path and take on opportunities.
That's such a lovely story. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ exactly, we can use the tools and the our magic to take steps forward and embrace opportunities ✨
I love the art, Tamzin. ✨ My magic right now is in trying to understand better and be more patient. I'm directing my energy to listening to podcasts and reading essays that teach me these values. 🍃
Hi Angelica, I just remembered when I saw your comment that I still need to respond to your last email! Thank you so much, I'm so glad you like the art.
I'm right there with you on the patience piece, I was told a lot over the years that I'm very impatient. Then, in a chat with a coach, she pointed out to me how patient I was in my career and in my creativity. It was such a good reframe/different perspective. Sometimes we're told that we are something and it's automatically negative, but interrogating it a little goes a long way.
What is it that you're trying to understand better? No pressure to answer here, just if you feel like sharing.
Thanks so much Jeffrey. I do these short posts every second Friday, just with an illustration and a prompt to go with it. Breaks from long posts to read can be a nice change!
Kindness absolutely is magic, and one of the most important things we have that we can offer to ourselves and others, always.
What magic are you holding lightly? Where are you directing your magic? What actions are you taking that will lead to future magic?
I love how you refer to characteristics as magic! Soo cool. The magic I hold is definitely my presence and energy.
Annansa, so kind of you to find this space, create an account, and come to leave a comment. I really appreciate that! Thank you ❤ You DEFINITELY have some big magic in your presence and beautiful, kind energy.
This is perfect! The art and the words are nourishing. Thank you Tamzin.❤

For now my magic lies in my attention, where is it going and can I hold it with tenderness and love.
That illustration is a bit of a tickle.....to tickle the armpit of an orb.
Lately,majick pleasure songs that are prayers.
Watching whales playing on my local shores,and knowing their movement under water,,and the messages they carry across seas
Majick as a comfort in my eyes,that strangers look too with curiosity.
There’s alot in this one Tamzin.
It could write itself for days.x

The magic I'm holding lightly today is connecting people. I'm offering it to all those who need it, which is all of us.
We certainly do all need connection. Absolutely. Some of my earliest posts on here were about connection, all those months ago! Thank you John, I have no doubt that all of the people you are connecting with or to each other appreciate it 😊
Oh, this was wonderful. A magical way to start my day!! ❤️
Thank you so much Diane, I'm so glad to hear that. You can expect more short posts like these from me with images and short prompts ❤️

I really enjoyed the post. Thank you! For me, kindness is magic.

Kindness absolutely is magic, and one of the most important things we have that we can offer to ourselves and others, always.
A great idea!
