Pom Pom

Never underestimate the magic of a pom pom. Silly and often a little over the top- I'm kind of addicted to the unexpected use of pom poms. Stick them on a scarf, or a pair of shoes, or even a keychain to hang off your bag. I promise they will bring you joy and make you smile.

Cool Spring

Depending on where you are in the world, spring can mean many things. In Wyoming seeing 'chance of snow' pop up on the weather forecast is the norm and so is dressing in layers to accommodate the fluctuating temps. I actually love the spring and fall for this very reason. It's a great time of year to wear in between pieces. So while I wait for summer to kick into gear, I revel the short window to layer up.

Picnic Time

April 23rd is National Picnic Day! I actually didn't know there was a specified date to celebrate eating in the outdoors on a blanket, but I'm glad there is. In Jackson, sharing a meal outside is a pretty common thing. My go-to is a sammie grab from Pearl St Bagels or Persephone's Bakery to pack into my backpack before heading to the Park for a hike or paddle board session on String Lake. I love that National Picnic Day is a dedicated reminder to make time for such outings. Want to get in on this Jackson Hole picnic-ing action?

Beneffect

Those who know me well, know that I love to make up words and then casually use them in everyday conversation. One of my all time favorites is 'hometel' which can be defined as a hotel you stay at so frequently and align with the aesthetic enough that it feels like your home... home + hotel.

My newest invention is beneffect! It defines an unplanned side effect of something that has a positive effect. Beneficial side effect = beneffect. :) This little nugget makes itself known in many ways, and recently I felt its relevance when thinking about money and value. If we approach money as a beneffect of creating value in the world our focus and motivation is coming from a deeper and truer place. I'll admit this is a new approach for me, and I'm interested to see what manifests from this mindset. Never underestimate the power of a beneffect.

Living Magic

Do you listen to the podcast How I Built This? When I'm roadtrippin', I just let the episodes flow from one to the next. I love hearing the inspiring stories of how people followed their passions and their drive to create something of value- not only to themselves but to many others. And the host, Guy Raz, always asks one final question of his accomplished guests: 'How much do you attribute your success to hard work and to luck?'

Most of them say it's a combination of both. That feels about right. But what I want to shed light on is the idea that Source is always bringing us what we want. Aligning the cooperative components to set us up for what we desire to experience and create. If we are a vibrational match, 'things just fall into place', which feels like luck. I call it magic. Magical moments are eagerly waiting to burst on the scene with stardust and rainbows in their wake! Well, not really, but they are ever ready, because Source is also ever ready to accommodate us- if we allow it.

I'm still adjusting the training wheels on this concept, though I have seen it working in my own life. There is living magic all around us and when we tune into it with higher vibrations and thoughts shit happens. Amazing, seemingly crazy coincidences, awesome introductions, gut nudges at the right time, etc all flow effortlessly. It really is, well... magical.
