In this thirteenth dose I talk about why Grocery Stores can be difficult places when grieving. I share some lessons from my own grief and suggestions for accompanying others in their sadness. It’s a follow up of sorts to the twelfth dose. Connect with me @magicforrealists or magicforrealists.ca https://www.patreon.com/rss/magicforrealists?auth=xSUNIu6ol9iodR0WFM6yjsZ8D4iWva0e

In this twelfth dose of Magic for Realists I mark the equinox. I talk about the image of a nursery log in the forest, what I see as the underlying belief not talked about in Covid considerations, and elaborate on why I feel it’s important to include death as part of the magic of all of life/existence. *Note that this dose is likely the most potentially “controversial” so far.

This eleventh dose of Magic for Realists is an bonus one this week since the inspiration struck and I want to share. If you’re feeling scattered or lost or wandering or at loose ends, listen up! This one has extra love from me to my fellow trailblazers.

In this tenth dose I share my top 10 tips for successful thrift store shopping. Tune in for tricks and thoughts on the ethos of thrift store treasure hunting. This one is an invitation to those who’ve never tried thrift store shopping and a celebration of the magic of buying second hand stuff.

In this ninth dose of Magic for Realists I share 9 stories of when a spark between me and a stranger grew to become an important connection. I’ve been feeling open-hearted and grateful for the many connections in my past, and this one is an ode to the magic of “chance” encounters that end up shaping our lives.

In this 8th dose of Magic for Realists I take the lid of my piggy bank and shake out some stories about money for you. I sprinkle in some philosophy, but mostly endeavour to expose some of the varried experiences I’ve had with money in hopes that they will humour, inspire, stretch or help you. Cha-Ching! ;p Info: Patreon.com/magicforrealists website:magicforrealists.ca and you can also be in touch on Instagram @magicforrealists

This 7th dose of Magic for Realists is a pile of pillow talk. I share some stories around the theme of Rest. I laugh at my 11yr old attempts to be good on Sundays, briefly review the history of Sabbath in the Bible from my perspective, and muse on the societal implications of relentless productivity. The dose finishes with some tricks about napping. This is a fast paced ode to resting (!?) You can connect with me: @magicforrealists on Instagram or magicforrealists.ca

In this 6th dose of Magic for Realists I share half a dozen “poems” with you. Listen in for a snow fall of words to refresh your senses. Some poems are conceptual, others actual. Some I wrote, two of them from 2 of my favourite poets. If there’s one basket for all these eggs, perhaps it is called “a hopeful perch”. Enjoy.

In this 5th dose of Magic for Realists I unpack what I mean by “grounded” and what I do to feel more grounded in my life. This auditory adventure includes stop in: Jet Lag, homegrown beets, my 96yr old Grandma, ticklish feet and of course, doing the dishes. Enjoy!
