After allowing too many outside influences to darken my light last week, I decided to focus on the magic all around me. The truth is, we can change how we see things, and in turn, more miracles appear.

Embody the beauty you want to encounter. Turn around with love, and you can see it waiting for you!

When I walk around, I am always scanning the ground. After a gym session this week, I found a gleaming quarter in the parking lot! Life is always waiting to give us something special.

Counting tiny miracles is a fun game we can play every day.

It allows us to see the light side of the world and trains our hearts to feel love, grace, and joy every time we encounter a little piece of happiness.
