It was a time when the impossible became possible, and the ordinary was transformed into the extraordinary.
'Captivating and powerful. Anna's story will touch your heart and inspire you to embrace self-love and adventure and go after the life you've always dreamed of living.'
Anna Kloots writes so effortlessly and thoughtfully about plans derailed, the bliss of travel and the revelation of metamorphosis, I fell asleep wishing I was a part of her energetic and beautiful family. I bring this up because, to your point, I wonder if it was only when writing AtM or after that she began to realize that Stony Cross could indeed be such a symbol anchor, and Aline s Livia s stories were strong enough to ground it as such, and she decided Marcus himself was sufficient enough to be Stony Cross s keeper.
It was a time when the impossible became possible, and the ordinary was transformed into the extraordinary. During these 7 minutes, the world would be bathed in a warm glow, and the air would be filled with a sense of anticipation and wonder. People would gather in town squares and parks, eagerly awaiting the arrival of this enchanting spectacle.
My Own Magic

About the Book
For every woman searching for her voice, Anna Kloots shares her story of starting over by trusting the magic that was always within.
Despite what appeared to be a glamorous existence full of globetrotting adventures, behind the scenes, Anna felt invisible in her own life. Consumed by a marriage that left no space for her own desires and creativity, she chose to reframe the failure of her marriage as an opportunity to begin again.
It was Anna's innate sense of adventure and love for the unknown that led her to move abroad; travel around the world, visiting 80 countries; start her own business; and marry a magician—all before her mid-twenties. From the outside, her jet-setting lifestyle alongside her husband looked perfect. But though she appeared to have all the freedom in the world, in reality she was trapped in a slow-motion disappearing act.
When her marriage collapsed, she decided to use her unhappy ending as a chance for a new beginning—a reappearance into her own life and sense of exploration and discovery, letting each destination challenge, change, and shape her.
Following Anna's extensive travels from the bustling streets of Jaipur to the canals of Venice to the desert of Dubai, My Own Magic is a powerful memoir—a true, coming-of-age story about a woman rediscovering the magic that she always had.
Anna's memoir is proof that travel can transform you, inspire you, and even save you. Perfect for fans of Eat Pray Love.
