<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suppose there are many ways to regain magic in your life. For me, it came through illness. In 2021 I was diagnosed with cancer \u2014 I couldn\u2019t believe it. My world turned upside down, and for a long time nothing made sense.

Until it did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after being diagnosed, I started a meditation programme with my dear friend Carmen L\u00f3pez ( https:\/\/www.carmen-lopez.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my sessions with her, a word kept showing up at the end of the meditations: TRUST!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I needed to learn to trust in life again. Trust in my healing process. Trust in my intuition.

On one particular session with her in the forest, I got the impulse to start drawing in order to get my mind away from the heavy emotions I was confronting. Maybe I could turn the experience I was going through into something creative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so I started drawing the little Elves and their healing messages.
I would sit with my 5 year old daughter at the kitchen table, and we would both draw for hours at a time ( something I hadn\u2019t done anymore since I was a child).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was therapeutic.
It helped me regain trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helped me connect with my intuition.
It helped me to believe in magic again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
