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. "
