A few days ago, when I realized a new month was starting on Monday, I felt the urge to make the month mean something. To give it an overarching theme, intention, plan - you get the idea. And the first thing that came up to me was “A MONTH OF MAGICAL THINKING.”
I liked the idea and sound of it, but I didn’t even really know what that meant or would look like. I took mental note of it, but kept moving through the days.
Last year, I designated May to be MAY PLAY. I set the intention for PLAY that month. At the start of 2023, I had made it a goal/intention of mine to add more play into my life and I had been keeping up with it, but perhaps just the rhyming name of that month is what made it really stick for me?
I was surprised by how carrying that intention through each day it really did nudge me to make different choices. It nudged me out of my comfort zone. It opened up my eyes, ears, heart, and mind.
When I took my kids to the local library for the free craft, instead of sitting in the back and watching them or scrolling my phone - I did the craft too.
I would sing out loud when driving with the intention to be playful. I would listen to different music than my usual to mix it up and channel my high school years.
A lot of the things that I did to add in more play were subtle. But, I felt the shift in intention, in energy, in my focus.
So, I know that choosing an overarching theme for the month can make a big impact.
I am taking “MAGICAL THINKING” as my intention for April 2024. And again, I don’t really know what that will look like each day. But, I know by simply committing to it - I will show up for it. Each day may look different, but I will tap into what I think MAGICAL THINKING looks like on that day.
It may mean either taking time in the morning while still in bed, or really at any time of day or night to take a few minutes to be in awe and wonder for what is and to dream and envision what I want. Remembering all the magic that has been present in my past adventures which includes acknowledging myself and the work and beliefs it took to show up for it.
It may include journaling some days that both lets all the feelings and life stuff out AND gives me space to tap into the magic that exists and that I am calling in.
Inside of me, I understand what this MONTH OF MAGICAL THINKING is, but I may not be able to fully describe it to you. And what my MONTH OF MAGICAL THINKING is may look and feel different then yours would.
You don’t need to embark on this adventure with me BUT, I do invite you to pick a theme, intention, energy - something that you want to put focus on this month. Even if you are reading this on the 15th of the month! Any is more than none. So, you can still choose an intention for 15 days of the month and if you forgot yours and then remember you can still activate it for the days you do remember!
But, to help yourself remember - write it down! Put it in your calendar as a daily thing!
Write a note on your mirror/desk/in your car. Just the word! I am going to write MAGICAL THINKING in a few spots to remind me, because I know that our human brains hold a lot and so forgetting happens!
What do you want to focus on/add in/highlight this month? You are feel to join me for MAGICAL THINKING, too!
Remember any minutes is more than no minutes! Even putting one minute of intention on your intention each day IS A LOT! It will make a difference.
I am tapping into magic. I am tapping into remembering what is possible. I am tapping into abundance. I am tapping into being alive!
Cheers to a new month and whatever YOU are calling in and focusing on this month.

I love every product that I have tried and with temperatures heating up, I want to highlight their natural spray deodorants! I love that spraying makes it easy to apply and I don’t have to worry about it getting on fabric. The scents are lovely and not too much. These are great for keeping in your bag and spritzing on before an event or meeting too!
Seriously, all of their products are such high quality and WORK! Try them out!
