The Magic - Day 1 This new series on The Magic by Rhonda Byrne is exciting because all her books are packed full of wisdom and value for all. Whether you believe in the law of attraction or not, it is a fact that 'like attracts like'- it's science and you can't argue that. There are a lot of people that get upset because they think it's a bunch of crap and use the example that they visualized what they wanted and then magically it's supposed to appear, but it didn't. There could be many rea...

The Magic - Day 2 Super simple to do right?! I have a couple gratitude rocks as I used to collect rocks many years ago and love it. Are you into it too? Would love to hear any interesting stories you may have so feel free to share below. Here's another great quote I'd like to share then I'll go onto today's assignment... "Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some." ~Charles Dickens (1812-1870) Write...

The Magic - Day 3 We find this message to be extremely valuable and hopefully YOU do as well. We've heard it said before that whenever you hold onto ill feelings toward someone else and don't forgive them, it's like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. Wouldn't you agree? Focusing on what relationships you're grateful for is the best thing to do by far! "We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." ~Thor...

The Magic - Day 4 So wild that I read this right now as I've been going through some minor health issues so it came right on time. What about YOU? Can you relate? "The greatest wealth is health." ~Virgil (70 BC-19 BC) Roman Poet We must never take our health for granted, but instead express gratitude for each and every cell, organ, body part, and even our senses. "Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic." ~John Henry Jowett (1864-1923) Presbyterian Prea...

The Magic - Day 5 So, we want to ask ....do you feel like YOU have a healthy relationship with money? If not, maybe it's time to shift your paradigms to ones that will serve you better. You deserve it! "Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty." ~Christian Science Hymnal Magic Practice Number 5: Magic Money 1) Repeat steps one to three of Magic Practice Number 1- Count Your Blessings: Make a list of ten blessings. Write why you're grateful. Reread your list, say thank you...

The Magic - Day 6 Do you believe in magic? Used to love that song growing up in the 70's! Haha! Anyways, this is yet another powerful practice of gratitude that can change your life when applied. Let's try the mysterious magical manager on for size, shall we?! 😉 "If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill- take it and push it as far as it will go, push it beyond where it has ever been before, push it to the wildest edges of edges, then you force it into the realm of...

The Magic - Day 7 So are you up for the challenge of not saying anything negative today? Let's do it together! I actually started to complain, but Brian called me out on it and I quickly changed it to feelings of gratitude and repeated what I was grateful for out loud. Haha! So nice having someone hold you accountable. Ya know? 😉 "A thankful person is ...

The Magic - Day 8 It's finding joy and gratitude in even the smallest things isn't it?! So many take food and water for granted when we should really savor the flavor and count our blessings right, so let's do just that. 😉 "A thankful heart hath a continual feast." ~W. J. Cameron (1879-1953) Journalist and Businessman Here's another fantastic quote that hopefully speaks to you..... "If there is magic on this planet it is contained in water." ~Loren Eiseley (1907-1977) Ant...

The Magic - Day 9 Gotta love being a money magnet right?! You can do SO much more good in the world when you have the financial means. Some have guilt associated with money, but that should not be the case. If you're a good person, that will just be magnified by the money. If you're a bad person, same thing. Money just magnifies who you really are inside. Now, that we have that settled... let's go forth and attract what is rightfully ours and use it for the good of mankind. 😉 "...

The Magic - Day 10 How many times have we taken for granted the people who provide services for us? The clean floors of a building we frequent, the grocery store employees who stock the shelves so we can easily find what we're looking for, and so on... We should make it a point to be better aware and most importantly, thankful for them and what they do. We know, for us, we will begin to practice this more. Excited to see how the law of increase will work in our lives and the lives of others...

The Magic - Day 11 Having a positive morning ritual is so important and at the beginning of each day...gratitude is magic ingredient to start your day right. Have you ever noticed when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, how everything bad just snowballs? For example, you stub your toe on the bed, the toothpaste flies out of the tube all over your clothes, the hair dryer quits on you, you burn the toast, you get stuck in traffic or your car breaks down, you get to work and spill coffe...

The Magic - Day 12 It's such a blessing to be a blessing to others and it's a blessing when others touch your life in such a way so meaningful and deep that you feel the gratitude for them to your core. What a great way to show them whether they are still around or not that they meant a lot to you as well as a way for you to feel the love and gratitude right now so that you can experience the magic! Let's do this guys and gals! 😉 "At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by ...

The Magic - Day 13 This is where faith comes in. Being grateful for your desires before you receive them is a huge part of living a purposeful life. So important to get crystal clear on what you want and be thankful for each thing before and after you receive it. We have had so many things on our vision board or as Rhonda calls it "magic board" manifest and we couldn't be happier to see and experience such magic. YOU can too! You must believe, and take action.. especially when it comes to s...

Very exciting times! 🙂 "Intentions compressed into words enfold magical power." ~Deepak...

The Magic - Day 15 Can YOU relate? Is there a relationship in your life that needs healing? We're pretty sure there is because most everyone has someone who has hurt them or even left them through death. It can be hard to let go of that pain of being hurt or even of loss. We know. We've been there with several close family members of our own. We love this practice though because it will help us all no longer drink the poisons of anger, grief, resentment, or blame. "Holding on to ang...

The Magic - Day 16 Another one that is spot on in our opinion. Today so many people are dealing with health issues and the pharmaceutical companies are making a fortune off of our pain and suffering. It's just not right. So, what can we do about it? Well, follow these magical practices given in Rhonda's book, "The Magic", that's what! 😉 "Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature." ~Saint Augustine (354-430) Theologian and Catholic Bishop ...

The Magic - Day 17 Isn't it so cool to see how things manifest and dreams come true because of simply showing gratitude for every little thing? It's truly magical! Rhonda's examples from her own life should be testament to show YOU what's possible when you put these practices into action.

The Magic - Day 21 Are YOU still hoping and wishing for things or do you now understand the concept that life doesn't happen to us, we happen to life?! We should be grateful for and expect magnificent outcomes in all areas of our lives. 😉 "You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, play...

We love that Rhonda spoke about the feeling she got while on the plane with the Tahitians who were so happy. That is definitely priceless and worth more than material wealth. It warmed my heart just rea...

The Magic - Day 23 First off, the message in this chapter really speaks to me again because recently I have been having some struggles in the breathing and pain department due to pleurisy. I know it's only temporary but it certainly makes you appreciate the magic air you breathe even more. We all seem to take it for granted until there comes a time where you can't breathe like when you have a cold or worse in some cases. That being said, let us all begin to practice more and more gratitude ...

The Magic - Day 24 We have the power to make a real difference in our loved ones lives or in anyone's life for that matter. Do YOU feel it? Huh, huh?! (In my Ace Ventura voice) Haha! Seriously though, when you give to others in any way, shape, or form, even if it's using your magic wand to bless them- it does come back to you. "People who wait for a magic wand fail to see that they ARE the magic wand." ~Thomas Leonard (1955-2003) Personal Development Coach Magic Practice Number 24: ...

The Magic - Day 25 Do YOU pay attention to all of life's synchronicity or magical cues? Maybe it's time you do right?! Us too. In fact, it was so funny because as I said in a previous post... Bora Bora is just one place that is on our list of places to visit and so we think about it quite often and are grateful for the opportunity to be surrounded by such beauty and what do I see first thing this morning when I log into Facebook? Yep, you guessed it.. Bora Bora. That's how this game works to...
