SPELL SHARE

Creating our communal secret of happiness

Spell Sharing

These are the lists of our communal magic spells that make life extra authentic and beautiful. Usually, our magic spells are so deeply in our routines that we do not even realize that they are the pixie dust for us. Like a bundle of index cards of grandma's precious recipes or highlighted quotes in your favorite books, we all have magic spells to pass down to the next generations. This is the communal secret of happiness.
