Small Magic and Halloween
Yesterday was Halloween. That officially marks the start of the holiday season. Today, we'll start seeing Christmas decorations go up and we'll all have visions of yummy roasted turkey in our heads (well, except the vegans and vegetarians). That's ok. I decided...
SMALL MAGIC is for Quitters
I know, I know – most people don't want to be thought of as a quitter. AND quitting has a really negative connotation. I want you to look at it a bit differently. Ask yourself these questions: Have you ever stayed in a relationship longer than it was healthy? Have...
The Small Magic of Generosity

SMALL MAGIC and Unconditional Love
Something my mom taught all of us kids (she has four girls and two boys) at a very early age was the small magic of unconditional love. Now, let’s define with that means in our family. That doesn’t mean that we don’t get scolded, sent to our rooms or spanked with a...
SMALL MAGIC and Authenticity
Remember last time I introduced you to the original small magician, my mom, Mama Sandra. I know that she’s the person who taught me so many lessons and molded me into the person I am today AND I promised to share those small magic lessons with you. As mentioned...
