The first of the year is a welcome start to new beginnings.  This new beginning is influenced by the magic daily life brings to us all if we are adventurous enough to seek it.  I'm not a blogger, writer, computer person but I am enthusiastic and adventuresome enough to try something new.  This is my new new!  In the spirit of new I found myself interested in a 31 day challenge that partners running (which I love, especially in the woods) and writing (something I've been to fearful to ever do outside of the security of my own old school paper journals).  Trail running for me connects all things good.  Spirit, earth, health, wellness, gratitude, joy and love.  Some of these things I am more comfortable with than others but it's about growing in a way that significantly shrinks our fears and widens our hearts and understandings.  Magic to me is when all good things fall in place for myself and for others.  Being in the witness of magic happening is the magic itself.  Magic doesn't come without it's challenges.  It requires effort.  But like all things in life if you do the work you also get the reward.  Life's daily magic.
