Thanks to those of you who have written me personally to say how challenging this request is. I get it! It took me years to confidently tell the world that I experience magic.

If you’re willing—it doesn’t have to be perfect, well-written, or anything else. Just share what you feel. 💜

Hello everyone. My name is Pam and I’m 85 years old. I’ve been spending some time looking at the patterns in my life that brought me to the place I am today. I certainly had a wonderful magical, childhood and adolescence as we spent every summer in the woods at Lake Tahoe, Nevada. I slept outside under magical trees and swim in clear blue water every day. Deer came to feast every day, and my father had a magical chipmunk eat out of his hand every morning. So in many ways, I didn’t know anything but magic. Nights were spent around a campfire on the beach with many playing, guitars and singing. I didn’t really wake up to the magic, and took it a little for granted until my 30s and 40s when my yearning for travel took over. I traveled the world and found magic in other cultures and begin work with many teachers. I am so grateful to Allysha for The Heretic and love being connected to other people who follow their magic.
