I know quite a few people right now who are feeling bad – heck, I just came out of a hard time myself. Post election blues, personal crises, major medical issues, depression, anxiety and holiday stress. I know, it’s a lot. And you know what? It’s OK. It’s OK to feel bad. Life is hard and it gets us down from time to time. You’re only human and it’s bound to get to you sooner or later.

Which meant HIS way.
An ordinary life can be extraordinary and magic can be found in the every day.
