Dear Open Heart Project.

Over the past 2 weeks, we’ve been revisiting a series I recorded a few years ago about outer, inner, and secret magic. It still feels relevant in these complicated times.

In that talk, I suggested that magic isn’t something far away or mystical. It arises right here—in the way we care for our surroundings, the gentleness we offer ourselves, and the willingness to see every moment as inherently sacred.

I shared a story then that still moves me. A Tibetan translator I once met in New York had been robbed on his way from the airport. When I asked if he was angry, he said, “At first I was. Then I offered it.” That small shift—turning loss into offering—revealed something profound about connection and resilience.

These days, when it’s easy to feel disheartened or overwhelmed, I return to that idea. We can always pause, let go, and offer our experience—whatever it is—back to the world. There’s magic in that.

Let me know what you think. I always love hearing from you.
