Show up for the magic.

Written By Tong Wang

You never know what can happen until you put yourself out there.

This is true.

Magic comes from belief, discipline, curiosity, and coincidences that are possible because we are open and ready to notice and receive.

So … just come out and see what happens. We know everyone is busy, everyone has their own lives and responsibilities and a million things that are already piling up on their to-do lists. And why not just stay at home and watch Netflix when you’re exhausted. (Though, absolutely no judgement and 120% respect if that’s what you gotta do). But taking time to be together, to receive the gift of strangers (if we haven’t met you yet!) could be so so so magical. So profoundly touching. If you let us, we will share our hearts.

Please, show up~

Not just for some exchange, transaction, achievement, or even any specific result or progress or purpose. Just show up for being together, for a chance to feel something new, different, or familiar. Show up for your community, for yourself. For something beautiful and good. Or ugly and good. Or whatever. Whatever you want it to be.

<3

Yours,

Tong
