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 30, 2026 topic is Do You Believe in Magic?  Cognitive scientists and psychologists suggest that the human brain is naturally wired for magical thinking. Today we will bring our magical theme home in rich, deep and practical application. In fact, today we will be reminded that we are formed and informed by both spiritually intuitive and mentally inherent qualities.
