Spring Has Sprung At The Magic Happens Magazine

Hey! How’s everything in your world?

It’s been a few weeks since I have had time to write a post, we’ve been really busy getting the Spring 2008 Edition of The Magic Happens Magazine ready to be released. Finally, it’s complete and available for your pleasure. This season’s feature is Self Appreciation! Sounds really springy doesn’t it?

Incase you’ve never heard about our magazine before, let me give you a brief overview of what it is about and why we do it. :-)

The Magic Happens is a free internet magazine by, about and for people who are Thriving in Life. Many of the contributors have long since retired from the everyday work world and pursue their own interests these days. The contributors aren’t really talking much about what they do per say as they are about who they are and their own personal and spiritual development progress.

The saying goes, ‘Your business will only grow as big as you do.’ And so, these people are expressing how big they have grown. It’s an amazing journey for all of us. :-)

The first issue of the magazine was posted for public viewing on July 1st, 2008. Our intention for the magazine is to share what we have learned about the art of Thriving in Life and contribute to as many people as we can.

It is a quarterly magazine being released on the first of July, October, January and April.

We also have a companion community where some of our readers and contributors hang out and get to know one another. Everyone is having a great time sharing knowledge and learning more about Thriving in Life.

Why not drop by The Magic Happens Magazine and The Magic Happens Community? We would all love to get to know you and learn what you know about Thriving. :-)

Happy Trails

Musician Jeff Healey: A Tribute To A Man Who Thrived!

Published by Kat under Entertainment, Happenings, Life

Wayne and I would like to publicly say goodbye and fairwell to Jeff Healey.

41 year old Canadian musician Jeff Healey transitioned to a new energy form on March 2, 2008 due to a rare form of cancer that he’s had since birth.

Jeff was a favorite of ours because of how he chose to live life and because of the beautiful up beat . In spite of having cancer since birth and being blinded by that cancer at the age of one, Jeff has pursued and accomplished his dreams becoming an internationally known musician.

Jeff is someone we all need to look at as an example of thriving. He lived life inspite of his challenges - maybe because of them - and he shone his light for us all to see.

Please drop by this Tribute to Jeff Healey, have a listen to his music and leave your own tribute in the guest book.

Remember this amazing man as the beacon of courage that he was. If a blind man who has been challenged with cancer his entire life can gain international attention in music - one of the toughest professions on the planet - so can we all!!

In Celebration of thriving!

ZENN Cars and Whatnot

We’ve been so busy building pages for the tabs at the top there that the things we want to tell you about are starting to stack up! There is just no rest for the wicked or the engaged in life; so hopefully, you won’t mind if this post is about ‘whatnot.’

The newest page that we built was released this afternoon. It’s called Connections and it contains a special offer for those that are interested. We are really excited about our offer because it is an opportunity for us to give a little to those who cross our path that want more out of life. You can read about Connections and our special offer here: Connections. Hope you decide to join us, it’s looking like it will be quite a bit of fun!

Speaking of fun, have you ever heard of a ZENN car? ZENN is both the name of a really cool car being manufactured in Canada and an acronym standing for Zero Emissions, No Noise. The car costs approximately 12 thousand dollars, can hold 20 cases of beer in the trunk and is as cute as a bug! Have a look see and judge for yourself but I for one really want to own one.

ZENN Cars

I haven’t yet figured out how to put the video right into the blog screen so you will have to use the link to go to youtube. I hope that’s ok with you!

On the RV adventuring front, for those who are looking to follow along with that, yesterday I joined a forum called RVUSA  and set up a bit of a profile; as much profile as they would allow anyway. :-) In the forum I asked 3 questions and if you know the answer to any of these, I would love it if you would share what you know!

1. What is the most important thing, in your opinion, for a newby to RVing to know?
2. What is the most challenging thing about RVing in your opinion?
3. Where is the most fascinating place you have ever been in your RV?

If you have any answers to those questions, please feel invited to share because I really want to know!! Last I checked, no one at the forum had answered me yet so when they do, I will come back and tell you what the answers I got were.

I also did a little bit of reading while I was at RVUSA on the subject of different kinds of RV’s. I won’t bore you with the details however; it was quite fascinating to learn that the travel trailer my folks owned when I was a kid actually has a name. :-)

It feels a little bit strange to me to be investing recreational vehicles at the end of January during a cold snap severe enough that I have refused to go anywhere for 3 days. Last night and all day today we had 60 mile an hour winds and bitter cold temperatures - ah - life in Canada. LOL

We live on the fifth floor of a six floor apartment building and when the winds are strong like they have been, the walls move a little bit. Really big gusts move the floors a little bit too. I am assured by Wayne that the building is built to do that so that the stress of the wind doesn’t damage the building but it is really freaky when everything is moving. We had been tossing around the idea of living in a high rise condo in Toronto however, now that I know how much a six floor building sways, I doubt I would be really comfortable on the twentieth floor. LOL So out goes that idea.

Have you seen ‘The Bucket List’ yet? We did and we really loved it!! It expressed in a really compelling way, the need to really live life. If you haven’t seen it yet, we highly recommend it! It is both funny and compelling - so much so that we will be adding it to our library to remind us to live life fully right now!

Well, that seems like a big enough stack of whatnot’s for today! I really appreciate that you spent a few minutes with me and I hope you leave a comment, question or answer one of my questions! It is really fun to know who is hanging out with me…

Happy Trails!
Kat
