And no, I don’t mean a slight of hand or even “Wingardium Leviosa.” I’m talking more along the lines of manifestation, believing in the universe, and channeling energy. Oh, and of course, the occasional magical spell. Magic has been my place to turn to whenever I feel stuck or overwhelmed.
It’s my way of “covering all my bases” when I’m desperate to make things in my life go my way.
