a mini Christmas miracle

or how to receive the little magic sparkles life throws at you!

One Christmas Eve, when my sons were 2 and 5, and we were living almost on a beach in the state of Campeche in Mexico, we witnessed a mini Christmas miracle.

Before that night, on a fall Full Moon, I decided to bring my family together (my husband, our 2 kids and I) to do some manifesting together. I was unhappy and unfulfilled, and overwhelmed with mommy’s duties  and my biggest wish was to move out of Mexico and for that I felt I needed the support of my family. So on that full moon, we each wrote some intentions and wishes on a piece of paper that I later asked the moon to bless and for the Archangels to help us making our dreams come true.

Once we explained our 5 year old that this was not Santa’s list 🎅🏻 but just some good wishes for our family, he wrote that he wishes for the whole family to see a shooting star. 🌠

I thought it was a beautiful sentiment and I put his wish with the rest of ours. Only God knows what our 2 year old drew (?).

After a few weeks, it was already Christmas Eve. During our evening, I made the whole family go for a walk on the beach, officially to look for Santa 🎅🏻, in reality I just felt stuffed and needed to breath some fresh air and connect with the stars.

We were all looking at the night sky 🌌 , and then right there, next to Orion’s belt, a shooting star. And we all saw it at the same time. And my 5 y. o. started screaming: “That’s Santa’s sleigh. He is coming!”

It was a perfect magical moment. 🌟

And then I remembered that’s what he had wished. ✨ And I was so humbled that he got his wish while I was worried about our future and where we would live and all my mommy’s tasks to do. I was reminded then that I didn’t need to worry endlessly and that my family was looked after and I was reminded that life contains so much magical moments waiting for us to just breathe and surrender a bit our control over reality.

Life is magic, the magic is in the little things, and so is happiness.

Wishing you plenty of magical moments,

Gretta 😘

PS: when you are setting your intentions for the next year, or the next moon cycle, be careful to not turn your wishes into a to-do list with endless tasks. Keep both separate. Some things magically take care of themselves.
