Magic is something that has fascinated humans for centuries. It evokes a sense of wonder and mystery, leaving us in awe of what is possible. Whether it is a magician performing a card trick or a illusionist making things disappear, magic has the power to captivate and amaze us. But what if I told you that we all have the ability to make magic ourselves? Not the kind that involves tricks or illusions, but the kind that brings joy and happiness to others. This is the magic of kindness and compassion. In a world that can often feel dark and uncertain, acts of kindness can light up someone's day and make the impossible seem possible.

I heard about a fun little Netflix holiday series called Dash & Lily over the holiday break, so I thought it may be a light-hearted watch as I wrapped gifts and enjoyed relaxing days in my jammies. True to the reviews, it is a fun and inspiring show about a friendship that develops between Dash and Lily all because of a little red notebook of clues found in a NYC bookstore. As they pass messages and dares back and forth through the notebook, they are sent on a series of adventures that lead them to discover truths about themselves.
I was in a heap of wrapping paper and ribbon, when a scene in episode four made me put down the scissors and tape and hit rewind. In this scene, Lily has written a series of clues in the red notebook that lead Dash to a home extravagantly decorated and lit for the holidays. When he arrives, she asks him to write down what he sees. Cynical Dash, lacking in the holiday spirit, replies: “Plastic nutcrackers and fake Santas…nothing that is real.”
Next, Lily instructs Dash to take another look at the holiday scene and give it another chance. He scans the extravagant display again and pauses at an affectionate elderly couple taking pictures in front of the house. He replies, “I see an older couple who probably come here every year to take a picture at the same house. They probably have those photographs on their wall. I see them holding hands. I think they must know each other very well”
Lily then responds by writing, “I told myself I didn’t fit in anywhere and kept telling myself that one day it would magically change. But a little known fact, the word abracadabra comes from an Aramaic phrase, Avra Kehdabra, meaning, I create as I speak . We make our own magic. We see what we look for. I hope you’ll keep looking for the good stuff. I believe in you.”
Woah! Think about that for a minute. I create as I speak.We make our own magic.
How often do we chain our possibilities by limiting our thoughts and speaking words of negativity and doubt into existence? What if we unchained our possibilities by looking for the hope and promise in our circumstances, rather than the constraints and limitations? What if we stopped doubting, and started doing? What is we stopped complaining, and started praising? What if we stopped fearing, and started trusting? We all have the power to make our own magic! What could we dream? What could we experience? What could we accomplish? If only, we believed it could become our reality.
In the current state of our world, it is easy to focus on the negative and quickly become overwhelmed with discouragement and despair. However, as I look towards a brand new year I will choose to see hope and joy in the world around me. I will choose to speak words of positivity and possibility. I will choose to create my own magic. I hope in the year ahead you’ll join me in looking for the good stuff. I believe in you.
Next, Lily instructs Dash to take another look at the holiday scene and give it another chance. He scans the extravagant display again and pauses at an affectionate elderly couple taking pictures in front of the house. He replies, “I see an older couple who probably come here every year to take a picture at the same house. They probably have those photographs on their wall. I see them holding hands. I think they must know each other very well”
However, magic is not just something we do for others, but also for ourselves. When we choose to be kind and compassionate, we create a ripple effect that spreads to those around us. This brings a sense of connection and belonging, reminding us that we are all part of a larger magical tapestry. Magic is not limited to individual acts, but can also be found in communities and organizations that come together to make a difference. It is found in the volunteers who dedicate their time to help those in need, in the charities that work tirelessly to improve the lives of others, and in the movements that strive for a more just and equitable world. Making magic is not always easy. It requires effort and intention, especially in a world that can sometimes feel indifferent or unkind. But the rewards are worth it. The smiles on people's faces, the gratitude in their voices, and the sense of fulfillment in our hearts are all testament to the power of making magic. So let us not wait for magic to happen, but instead let us be the magic. Let us be the ones who make a difference, who bring joy and happiness to others. In doing so, we create a world that is more compassionate, more loving, and more magical..
