“Habit three: Find someone to serve. This is not as hard as it seems. Simply think about how you will connect with another soul today. Some easy suggestions are: Smile at someone. Say hello to someone. Say thank you. Send a text or email. Habit four: Look for reasons to laugh. Find a joke and tell it to someone. Laugh together over shared memories. Watch a comedy.

That and they rarely mean it when they say we are witches. But luckily, some of us are”

“To be an adult who still believes in wonder and magic, despite all of the trauma, loss, and hardship, is to live with a kind of quiet courage and sense of hope”
