words are spells,
use yours wisely
I believe in ordinary days,
filled with ordinary magic.
remember, remember, this is now
~ Sylvia Plath

“It is easy to mourn the lives we aren’t living. …
We can’t tell if any of those other versions would of been better or worse.
Those lives are happening, it is true, but you are happening as well,
and that is the happening we have to focus on.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library
grace & magic
Oh hey, hi, hello I’m Kat
Welcome to grace & magic
I’m so happy to have you here.
I believe in the mundane, the unremarkable, the unhurried,
and in small things done with intention.
I also believe in sufficient, and in the miracle & magic of being enough.
I believe that tending is sacred work, and that brave & scared shitless happen in the same breath.
I choose to be present. To pause. To linger in the in-between. To move through the world gently, and on purpose.
I believe in a kinder, gentler world — and I believe it is built slowly, in ordinary moments, by ordinary people just like me and just like you.
Life happens in the in-between
“Here’s the thing about luck…
you don’t know if it’s good or bad
until you have some perspective.”
― Alice Hoffman, Local Girls
the liminal
For those who suspect life is happening in the in-between moments
— in the ellipses, the exhales, the unremarkable Tuesday afternoons that turn out,
years later, to have been everything.
quotes I’m pondering
“This was true magic, the making and unmaking of the world with paper and ink.”
― Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic
“disabled lives matter more than abled feelings.”
~unknown
“Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin
“Do as you will, but harm no one.
What you give will be returned to you threefold.
Fall in love whenever you can.”
The Rules of Magic
― Alice Hoffman
