Erin, that is beautiful. You create your own magic and you till
   your own soil. If your soul is sterile sand, nothing will grow
   there. But if your soil is rich with the manure of life ("all
   the crap life throws at you"), the best seeds will WANT to be
   planted in your soil and they will grow rich and bountiful. You
   are prepared to accept the enchantments as they come. (having
   the right attitude towards life and everything and everybody in
   it makes you who you become). Only those prepared to accept
   magic in their lives will see it. "
