We Don’t Have To Make Our Own Magic… We Just Have to Recognize It When It Happens…

Dear Reader:

Have you ever thought about this… that once we stop rushing through life, we finally get it… and that is …amazingly… how much more life we now have time for? That is probably the greatest magic of all… finding ” magical ” time!!!

Magic happens when you create the space within yourself to hold all the endless possibilities… and then believe in them , like a child, as magic!

… And the nice part is…we don’t have to practical magical tricks to bring magic to others… the Magic is right in front of us.

Think about that first time you got to tell someone you loved them and they responded back… ” I love you too.” It was the most memorable magic moment of all.

In fact any time we witness an act of kindness, or love – random or planned… the world responds with more love aka more magic.

Nature has magic built into every piece of the universe… stars twinkling, blooms stretching towards the sun, moonflowers opening by the light of the moon, perennials refusing to give up life after one unforgettable season of magic… but we must open our eyes to what is right in front of us… not taking for granted something too familiar but appreciating the magic with every bud opening… a separate miracle!

So until tomorrow…

Take a little time today and go down memory lane- with ” The Loving Spoonful-” Do you believe in Magic?” 🎵🎤💗

**What is not to love? ” The grin will win” is magic!!!**

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also taught at the College of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in teaching social studies is always in the story. I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot.”
