Permission and Persistence – August 16, 2026

Loving greetings and welcome to August, a month that in many spiritual and cultural traditions holds a distinct mystique because it bridges the peak of summer and the first whispers of autumn. August is a powerful season of change, rich with blessings and abundance. Using the inspiration found in Elizabeth Gilbert’s book, Big Magic, I invite you to enter this month’s theme, “Creating and Living a Magical Life,” with an open, receptive heart as together we discover the magical glow of Spirit that illumines every moment of our everyday lives.

The August 16, 2026 topic is Permission and Persistence.  Permission and persistence play critical roles in our ability to create and live a life of magic. Today we will discern which of these qualities stops creativity in its tracks, and how we may uplevel our practice of which quality magnifies our capacity to live, move and have our being in the pure magic of Spirit.
