Magical March

do something that makes life magical! (even if it isn't march)

Magical March

5 years ago, my high school English teacher taught us about this thing she did every year called, Magical March. She assigned it as an assignment, to make the whole month magical. Ever since we did it with her, I’ve done it on my own. I would like to invite you guys to do it as well.

Magical March is all about pushing yourself and going out of your way to make your life magical. Find a way to journal it, whether it be here on tumblr or in a physical journal. Keep track of and document everything! Take a picture, keep ticket stubs, receipts, napkins, etc. and write about your experiences. 

There are different categories. Try to complete at least one thing from each of them! The categories are linked to separate posts below.

I will be sharing my Magical March on my new blog @makemarchmagical. If you decide to join me, I’d love to see and share what you are doing with others! Tag the blog, @makemarchmagical, and use the tag #just make march magical. 

Please reblog this and spread the word!

I can’t wait to see what y’all do!

I’m in the middle of creating a journal for magical march!!!

If anyone is interested, I’m hoping to have it up on Amazon in the next few days.

This year I’m doing Magical March personally and in my classroom with my students! I hope you follow along and join in!

Classroom Supplies Needed

Okay. I usually don’t do stuff like this, cause I feel awkward and bad. But I need some help.

As many of you know, I am getting ready for my first official year as a teacher. It’s exciting, but I’m literally starting from scratch in my classroom. The school has given me some money, but it’s barely enough for the needed supplies.

I have created an Amazon wish list that you can access by pressing here. 

I have also created a ko-fi account which you can donate to here.

Again, I feel really awkward about doing this. I just need more help and have a lot to do in three weeks.

PLEASE DO NOT FEEL PRESSURED INTO DONATING.

Thank you for your love and support. It really does mean a lot.

This will be the only time I reblog this… I promise to never bug you about this again.

✨ New Writing Platform ✨

this is a survey to gather opinions and ideas for a possible new online platform that would serve both desktop and mobile versions.

HELLO FRIENDS!!

I am in the very beginning stages of developing a brand new writing platform that I hope will become a happy medium between tumblr and ao3. Filling out this survey will help me immensely in figuring out features as well as a direction for the look/usability of said platform.

All signal boosts of this would be wonderful to get as many writers’ answers as possible 🥰

tagging some moots:

This has been eating away at my mind and heart for a while now. And I hope that I can do justice to the thoughts and feelings that I have been having.

I believe that in so many aspects of our lives, we have forgotten the most important thing.

Love.

Love is listening.

Love is learning.

Love is stating your opinion without downing on others.

Love is serving.

Love is growing, changing, improving.

Love is a smile or a small wave as you walk down the sidewalk or a hallway.

Love is being welcoming and giving sincere compliments.

Love is crying with and comforting those in need.

Love is patience.

Love is embracing those who may be different than us.

Love is forgiveness—for yourself and others.

Love is God.

I am not perfect at showing my love by any means. I will be the first to admit that I need to be better. But I have learned that we cannot get anywhere in life without love. Having, giving, receiving love.

Love doesn’t mean you have to accept all that is happening around you, to you. But it means that you listen, you learn. You stay calm and you grow. You help others grow. You work on forgiveness, cause it’s not meant to be an over night thing. You watch your words and be kind.

Greater change, longer change, happens because of love. It does not happen over night. And, honestly, nothing should because how could anyone learn from that?

Love can be hard and it doesn’t immediately fix or change anything. But it is a start.

So start showing love a little more. Start allowing yourself to have more love and receive more love. Start with those closest to you, because they are often the ones we need to show love to the most.

Open your heart and allow yourself to see from another’s point of view.

Allow yourself to really feel of the love others have for you, of God’s love.

Take all that love, grow it, and pass it on, because “To love another person is to see the face of God.”

For one day I will be loved as much as I love.

Quotes & Dogs

I know I’ve been slacking the last few days with Magical March! I’m so sorry!

Below is a page a did a few days ago... I wrote 3 of my favorite marvel quotes that have been hitting close to home recently. I also bought a small polaroid printer that connects to my phone so that my pictures this year can be a little different. The pictures are of my two bernedoodles. They are sweethearts and I love them to death. They make every day magical for me!

Playlist

My favorite thing to do every year (and almost always the first thing I do) is create a Magical March playlist.

There’s literally no theme to it! Some of my friends are always so annoyed because the playlist can be so random.

It’s all about what songs you love and touch your soul! No one else’s! This falls under the heart category of Magical March.

I always write my playlist down and add to it add the month goes on. My journal doesn’t have lines so I draw lines on a few pages and write the playlist down. I’ve included pictures of what my journal pages currently look like.

Of course, make your journal and playlist however you please! With whatever makes you happy!!

This journal is special because I bought it in Rome (Italy) in the small little leather journal shop. I was in literal heaven! I love journals so much so this shop was the best!!

I’m so excited to share Magical March with y’all!!!
