You Are Magic

There is something deeply human about coming around the corner. We spend so much of our lives in the stretch just before it—moving forward, doing the work, carrying the weight of what we know and what we cannot yet see. The corner is where the familiar ends and something new begins. It is where certainty gives way to possibility, where faith meets action, and where growth often happens quietly, without fanfare.

For some, coming around the corner looks like starting over after a loss, a move, or a season that changed everything. For others, it is a shift in a relationship, a career, a health journey, or a personal belief. Sometimes it is joyful and full of anticipation. Other times, it is tender and uncertain. Most often, it is a mix of both. We rarely know exactly what will be waiting for us, but we keep walking anyway.

I think about how many corners we all turn each year—small ones and life-altering ones. A new role. A new family dynamic. A new perspective on what matters most. A realization that we are stronger than we thought, or softer than we expected, or braver than we imagined. The corners shape us, stretch us, and often surprise us with gifts we could not have planned.

This week, a team member reminded us that you are magic. It was said simply, but it landed with meaning. In the middle of deadlines, responsibilities, and the day-to-day, it felt like a gentle pause—a reminder that there is something extraordinary in the way people show up for one another, in the quiet leadership, in the small acts of care, and in the courage to keep moving forward even when the path is not fully clear.

Maybe the magic is in the collective turning of the corner—when a team grows together, when a family finds its rhythm again, when a person rediscovers their purpose, or when a community supports one another through change. Maybe it is in the moments we choose hope, kindness, and steadiness, even when the future feels just out of view.

As we move into whatever is next, I am holding onto this image: each of us walking toward our next corner with curiosity, grace, and a quiet belief that something meaningful is waiting there. We may not see it yet, but we are already becoming the people who will meet it with wisdom and heart. And in that journey, in that turning, there is so much magic.
