Your Magical Life - Hardcover

JAMBO FELLOW ADVENTURER!

"You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." - Martin Luther King Jr.

I often think of how these frequently repeated words, from a giant of our times, so perfectly apply to the spiritual logistics behind all manifestations. I even saw them play out in the making of Your Magical Life, my second children's book. It began as an idea borrowed from a particularly enchanted Note from the Universe, about signs appearing along a path leading the reader into the jungles of time and space.

What would such signs say? Wouldn't they be simple enough for anyone to understand? Would they hint at our power, the free will we possess, and the greater love that makes it all possible? Would kids understand them? Would their parents understand them?

I couldn't see it working, but I could feel that it would work. So, as I urge audiences, whenever possessed by a dream for which you don't know what to do next, do anything! I wrote - a little here and there, in dibs and dabs - without clarity, insecure, and doubting myself. I deleted some, added more, copied, pasted, and started over. And although I abandoned the process and quit the book twice, I was pulled back by a deeper sense that it could still work, and over the course of many months, Your Magical Life emerged, ultimately brought to life by the incredibly talented illustrator, Virginia Allyn.

What is it you soulfully dream of doing? Don't wait. Dally no further. Start, and the staircase will appear.

To Your Magical Life,
Mike Dooley
