So generally I read at night. I wander between intense novels and magazines (usually the Oprah magazine...thanks to a subscription gift from my sister), with the very occasional non-fiction book. Last night I was reading the latest edition of Oprah. One of my favorite regular contributors to the magazine is Martha Beck. She wrote an article about lists. I LOVE lists. I think most people like lists. They help us to be orderly and effective. Well the lists she spoke about were a "higher" calling of list... the magic list.

The basic jist is that you can make a list of anything meaningful (the example in the article was about a woman who made a list of 100 qualities in her yet to be met perfect mate). The list is more of a vision of where you want to be in the future. And, if you make that list from your authentic self (inner core of peace), the majority of the things on the list come true. Like magic. I love it! I can't wait to make this list. I guess I need to add "make magic list" to my to do list. I hope it makes it onto your to do list, too! Let me know how it turns out. -Parm

I love the idea of some inexplicable relationship that we have with the universe...and that if we put some energy into describing and identifying the "magic" we seek, it will find us. And right now, I just love the idea of having something called a magic list....so it will definitely make it to my "to do list" we'll see where it goes from there! Thanks Parm! - Dawn
Very cool Parm! I think that my mail gets sent to Mom and Dad, so they have my copy of O. I just read the article though and I may just have to make my own list!
