Awaken Magic - Title of Memoir

Tagline: Ugly Duckling to Swan

Dear Brothers And Sistar’s,

Then it hit me… why don’t I title my forthcoming memoir “Awaken Magic” it is after all my “thing” for all these years and what most of you know me by.

I have kept the domain name year after year, even though I scrubbed the original content, it will be created into the new home/ landing page of the book.

This came about after I was on a call with a self-publisher who told me that in Canada one can get an ISBN for no charge.

The Title for the book was available and I locked it in. I have received the ISBN number. Yay!

Small steps make me celebrate that there is a forward momentum happening.

My memoir will not be self-help theme like my first book. It’s about the healing journey and comeback story with the magic that guided me. The rising and falling, rising and falling over and over, that this community has been a witness to over these 8 long years.

April 2016 was the “Awaken Magic” Telesummit I hosted! Wow, incredible twists and turns have happened on this great and holy adventure called Life.

I am standing up once again with a stronger backbone to be a Champion for the underdog, the misfit, the outcast for the ones who have that old blood singing through their veins. Who have aligned more with the mystical, magical side of life than the materialistic crowds. For the ones with a deep love of the land, who are in their own small ways keep the magic of life alive and see it everywhere.

Awaken magic and keeping it alive!!

Even though people have your back in spirit, the struggle can feel very much alone at times.

I’m considering taking a Self-Authoring online course to write out some of the worst trauma I’ve experienced instead of into my first draft. I know the advice is just to write a stream of consciousness and not to look at or edit it the first go around.

This Self-Authoring program sounds right because the writing prompts are put together by two Psychology Professors…..this paragraph grabbed me.

Careful writing about traumatic or uncertain events, past, present or future, appears to produce a variety of benefits, physiological and psychological. Written accounts of trauma positively influence health. Recent investigations have shown that the explicit written description of an ideal future produces similar results. A large body of research conducted in the industrial and business domains also demonstrates that future authoring or goal-setting results in improved productivity and performance.

The explanation on the site https://www.selfauthoring.com/

People who spend time writing carefully about themselves become happier, less anxious and depressed and physically healthier. They become more productive, persistent and engaged in life. This is because thinking about where you came from, who you are and where you are going helps you chart a simpler and more rewarding path through life.

Thank you for being a witness to this healing journey and walking the path of transformation.

From ugly duckling to swan!

Truimph over Tragedy.

The return of the Trumpeter Swans is a return of purity, grace and beauty that this majestic bird shares with humans. It is a comeback story that mirror’s this Author and photographer’s life with her swan friends.

With deep gratitude to still be alive, I thank the swans for coming into my life. Which lead to meeting Mr. and Mrs. Soul who were instrumental in bringing me to a new purpose. This substack is another way to carry on the legacy by sharing the stories of how a small community brought back the swans to their Native home land of Ontario with numbers growing into the USA too. After a century of zero Trumpeters and their fragile comeback told in the last article. Restore your faith in Humanity

Are we on the verge now of Humanities Comeback, a planetary transformation and maturity journey?

Another “Aha” is thoughts about using my given name as Author this time around, the front cover could read :

Awaken Magic: Ugly Duckling to Swan

Margarit’s Memoir

aka Margaret Mary Brigham

This would be my final transformation back to my true self, most of my Awaken Magic content I went under Margarit, but people still thought it was pronounced ‘Margaret” so I began shifting to Margarita, especially here on substack.

For the fun of it I put this into a search engine “ Awaken Magic Margarit Brigham” There are still some facebook pages, that I deleted accounts years ago. I didn’t know my content is still available, I thought they scrubbed everything. hmmmm

For a short time I did Magical Mondays and gave card readings they came up first https://duckduckgo.com/?q=awaken+magic+Margarit+Brigham&atb=v316-1&ia=web

So saying, I have to keep Margarit’s name around, you know? What I would actually like to use is Margarit’s Memories instead of Margarit’s Memoir. I’ll see what the publishers think of using memories instead of memoir.

I hear the Trumpet of Rebirth, makes me think to share a video with you of the swans Trumpeting, I do miss this sound!!

Video - The Trumpet of Rebirth!! Swans flying in for a landing at Lake Ontario their Winter home.

Next week I will write about Humanities Comeback,

Big Love

(My new short form signature can stand for Magical Margarita or Margaret Mary, Lol)
