Find the Fun ￨ Playful Magic

Are you having fun? Do you make time and space for the activities and experiences that delight you? Do you engage in unadulterated play just for the joy of it? It seems that many of us unintentionally traded in fun for work. We didn’t mean to do this necessarily, but somehow we started acting as though fun was reserved for youth and adulthood meant an endless loop of tasks and responsibilities. This has created a massive imbalance in our lives and has resulted in a dimming of our magic. As we greet this soggy spring day, let’s consider all the barriers we face to fun and the creative ways we might overcome them. It’s time to let the fun back in!
