Happiness Spells

Being Yourself is a Kind of Magic Trick, Isn't It


Listen Later

Sleight of hand, and twist of fate. Today's my birthday and I feel so filled with joy at all the kindness I see in my friends, family, and even the world around me. I know it's a scary time for so many people, but what we can control is ourselves, our mindsets and keeping ourselves well enough to keep living, keep trying. I think a lot about what it means to be myself, and I think it's a kind of magic trick. I'm not here, and I wave my hand and appear. I can't wait to see what the next year brings, and thank you endlessly for being you, the greatest gift of all.

Happiness Spells is a five minute list of happy and positive things, set to gentle music. Increase your capacity for creativity, gratitude and joy. A collection of thoughts, daydreams, feelings and reveries. Headphones on. There's nothing else like it.


This episode of Happiness Spells was written, arranged, recorded and produced by Amanda Meyncke in Los Angeles, CA. Our music is by Chris Zabriskie.
