You Can Do Magic

Magic - Extraordinary power of influence, slight of hand

I have always been amazed by the talents of my children
(well young adults) they both have the talent of teaching
themselves whatever they want to learn and they have become quite accomplished at it.

5 years ago my son picked up the hobby of Magic
we have boughten many magic tricks from specialty
magic shops and plenty of decks of cards.
we have been a captive audience and also his
testing crew to test the tricks on! ( we were always amazed by them)
this past Saturday as a favor to one of my relatives for their job my son taught a small group of children at Barnes & Noble he was so good and had the group in awe after teaching the coin magic trick he also did a few card tricks for the kids. he was so patient and kind. it makes a mother proud!

my son has done magic shows for some local schools, and even a couple of birthday parties
and at an assisted living home. he can release himself out of a straight jacket, last year for a school project he portrayed Harry Houdini and did the straight jacket trick.( although amazing
no mom likes to see their son in a straight jacket!)

He also once did a magic show for the whole family he originally fell into this hobby as a eye and hand coordination exercise and well as I stated earlier he had a real natural knack for it
among his many talents he can act, play the guitar,design set, and he was the youngest student
from his Aikido class to earn his black belt he was 16 !

I know all these talents will always be apart of him and have somehow prepared himself
for whatever other hidden talents he has yet to find through his journey of self discovery

I can't wait to see what the magic will bring.

Hope you dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
may you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand upon the ocean
whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
and when you get the chance to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
never settle for the path of least resistance
livin might mean taking chances but they're worth taken
Lovin might be a mistake but it's worth makin
don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
when you come close to sellin out reconsider
give the heaven's above more than just a passing chance
and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance... I hope you Dance...
I hope you dance

River

just one of many songs that has deep meaning to me.

You know a dream is like a river
ever changin as it flows
and a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow
where it goes tryin to learn from what's behind you
never knowing what's in store makes each day a
constant battle just to stay between the shores

and I will sail my vessel till the river runs dry
like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination if I never try so I
will sail my vessel till the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
and let the waters slip away
till we put of till tomorrow it has now
become today so don't you sit upon the shoreline
and say your satisfied choose to chance the rapids
and dare to dance that tide

and I will sail my vessel till the river runs dry
like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination if I never try so I will
sail my vessel till the river runs dry

There's bound to be rough waters and I know I'll
take some falls with the good lord as my captian
I can make it through them all

And I will sail my vessel till the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
so I will sail my vessel till the river runs dry.
