Sparkle and Magic

Yesterday I was completing a three month internship with Jamie Ridler of Jamie Ridler Studios.  Working with Jamie and Kim and Kelly was so much fun and I hated to see this time together come to an end. Jamie asked each of us what was next for us.  What projects or things were we going to do.  My answer was not very concrete. I told them I wanted to capture the sparkle and magic in each day.  About an hour later my husband and I were on our way to Home Depot (lots of sparkle and magic for him but not so much for me) when we experienced a magical moment.  Spring in Atlanta can be beautiful. Yesterday was unusual.  It was 45 degrees but really windy which made it feel so much colder.  The sun was shining and the Bradford Pear trees looked beautiful.  Because of the wind there had been lots of blossoms swirling around and on the ground.  As I looked out the window, I mentioned that if the wind didn't stop soon there would be no blossoms left.  And that is when we realized it was not the beautiful flowers of the Bradford Pears that were landing on the windshield but snow.  What an incredible moment.  Blue skies, wind, cold, sun, flowers, and snow.  It didn't last long but just those few minutes reminded me of what I had just said an hour ago.  I wanted to find magic and sparkle in each day.  We can't predict when or where that special moment will show up.  But we can be ready to receive it when it does.  I can't wait to see what magical moments appear today.
