Speak if the devil.

1. Sometimes I think I am a bit witchy. In a good way, I mean. I can summon things with just a thought or mere mention. The magic comes by deciding to use ones witchiness for good rather than evil.

2. I meet my financial advisor today who talks of 'smoke and mirrors' in just the right way to offer comfort and possibility.

3. I've told myself in a quiet but determined voice things like 'I'm too tired to work at night, I just don't have the headspace, all I want to do is flop'. It turns out that's not true. It's a trick of the mind. Once you see how the trick works, you are never tricked again.

4. The photo above is the ice cream shop where I grew up. On seeing it, my old pal remembers only the rock in the window made to look like naked ladies.

5. What I see though is transformation.
Magic.
