Welcome to the 60th issue of Buddies For Life. What a milestone!
A time for you to celebrate the old and ring in the new. This issue shows us that “The world is full of magic things” and “It’s a magical time of the year.”
Often, through trials and tribulations, we fail to see the magic in the world around us. I looked at chemotherapy (that dreaded word) and turned it into a magic potions class. Remember the words of Rosemary Guiley, “Real magic is not gaining power over others; it’s about gaining power over yourself.”
Our Super Survivor proves Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s quote, “Magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen.”
I thoroughly enjoyed Life after Tamoxifen; in the words of Frank Ocean, “There’s just some magic in truth and honesty and openness.”
At the moment, I’m looking for some magic solution regarding Self-discipline of exercise.
Reading the inspiring articles, We are more and The race of giving back proves that the thought of Kate DiCamillo, “I think hope and magic are probably connected” is true. So, pay it forward and celebrate the magic in everything you do and remember as Max Nowaz said, “The world is full of magic. You’ve just got to learn how to access it.”
