Reclaiming the Magic

By September 13, 2025 No Comments

I am blessed with three healthy granddaughters. Unfortunately, one of them, the youngest, is in Chicago, and FaceTime has to suffice until we are together for vacations and holidays. She is an exuberant handful of energy and is completely taken with the movie Frozen. She wears her Elsa dress and waves her hands at me, telling me that she “magicked me.”

The absolute delight on her face lights up the screen like July 4th fireworks. She holds her magic with all the swagger of a Hollywood star! She knows something that we have forgotten: magic exists. It is part of her reality for now, but will fade with age. So sad!

In Chapter X, part of our mission is to rediscover our own magic. No, not the Frozen kind, but the magic of discovery, learning, joyful experiences, fun, and sheer enjoyment that fills every molecule.

The question of the day: How are you reclaiming your magic?
