October 2025 - October is magic.
This October I am leaning into magic. To me, that means trusting my ability to meet the insane amount of deadlines and to-do's I have both personally and professionally this month.
It also means leaning back into my spiritual side, where instead of overthinking, I am embracing flow and happenstance. As a chronic overthinker, thinking often gets in the way of me doing stuff because I get stuck in loops. So, I'm going to do my best to let that go and lean into getting things done this month (because I honestly do not have time to think about it).
Magic also means appreciating the thinning veil between the spiritual and material worlds and embracing the grief and death of the autumn season. It means watching my 2-year-old son delight in the skeletons that line the street. It means leaning into making magic for his birthday, Thanksgiving, and Halloween this month.
What does magic mean to you?
