Mesa!!!!! What a beautiful tribute to MAGIC in all its forms! I love you dearly, and I meant what I said about you being the heart of the Lovelet Community. What a joy it was to meet at last! Keep lighting it up, and big hugs! ❤️
LIZ!! I love you 😭♥️ thank you and I'm so happy to be part of the Lovelets, it's a sacred space to me. Hooray for magic and friendship and love 😍 Big hugs back!!
Dear Mesa ~ I am a Lovelet and have had the privilege of reading your letters from Love. Your story resonated with me as I took a leap of faith and bought (a solo) ticket to Liz and Martha Beck's upcoming Workshop on Creativity & Healing in Toronto. I am not a writer or a creative but it's Liz so there are no expectations or pressure just light. Thank you Mesa for affirming that an event with Liz will be filled with love & healing & living. 💜
Is it any wonder you and Liz met like old friends during a full moon 🌝 at the sea? 🌊 I dare say this is magic, Wonder Word Weaver! So happy this happened for you both, Mesa. Thank you for sharing the Letters From Love Reunion Tour! PS the image of the shoe film and filmmaker is hilarious. As long as I’ve known you it just makes sense there would be delight and laughter. Keep writing and painting! 💖✨♥️💫
Wow Mesa! I just was transported back to a magical time in my life when I lived in Ocean Beach and neighboring Point Loma. It was so long ago, mid 80s and I was in my early 20s. I grew up in San Diego and ended up in Ocean Beach when I left home and moved to my own apartment. That time, that place, so much then was pure magic! Thank you for bringing it back to me with your pictures and story of your time there.
My heart feels warm reading this. My favourite line: “She said something that i’ll keep in my heart forever.” So happy for you to have this special experience and friendship.
You met Lizzie! How wonderful. I am honored to know you as the heart of the Lovelet community I cherish so much. These photos put a smile on my face. Loved all your gushing about that moment. I would be gushing, too. And I love your pledge to make 2024 the year to do things that light you up. I'm down with that, too, in this year I've been having too--of grief and loss but possibility, too.
Thanks so much for being here Amy!! I’m so happy to inhabit this love filled space with you :) Amidst the grief it’s still possible for the possibility of magic. That’s one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in my life. <3
This post is just full of magical coincidences for me! I used to live in Ocean Beach... only a block away from your hotel on the beach in a tiny little studio that I basically found through magic. That feels like lifetimes ago now, and I've been in a super nostalgic mood today, so I really appreciate you bringing me back there.
And last night, my little Substack community had an event where we were exploring the question: WHAT IS MAGIC? Everybody agreed that it was a feeling. As somebody who has geeked out on the mechanics of magic for ages, I found that somewhat surprising (though it makes total sense)... but also really awesome and exciting. Imagine my surprise to come across this line today: "The feeling of magic is not anything my rational mind can grasp and even though I’ve tried a hundred different ways to explain it- I can't. I just know it when I’m in it." 👏
Love that you got to share such a special moment with Liz Gilbert!
Well holy magical coincidences!! I just got goosebumps!! So glad I could take you back in time, but also thank you for sharing your experience with me too!! I love little synchronicities like this!! 🤩🤩🤩
I don't know how I came across your post, but as a fellow Liz enthusiast I'm so glad I did! That night was really magical, wasn't it? So many memorable quotes, I could hardly capture them all. Liz is truth and light in human form.
Hi Heather!! I'm so glad you came across it too!! She really is!! I wish I could go back and do it all again so that I could take notes!! I tried to store everything in my heart and brain. I find myself saying "it's all gonna be alright" every day now 😍
I absolutely love this!!! I am so happy for you, and I love how you’re framing this whole conversation as making magic and magic moments! I recently had a magic moment in South Africa when an unexpected fall and super random chance meeting might have just ushered me into my future! Sometimes we make magic, for sure, and sometimes magic just happens to great people (as like when that VIP option just happened to show up on your screen!). Hugs to you my sweet friend!
OH my goodness this is so crazy special I cannot stand MY OWN SELF! This is pure magic...and so well deserved for your both. My heart has burst into ten thousand pieces of pulsation! Thank you for sharing this journey and really ALL the conversations about Liz and the Letters of Love. So special!

You know what, I got you. I took notes and will be writing about it tonight! I went full nerd: notebook, pen, tissues. I was READY.
I was so just happy to be there and taking it all in I couldn't do anything but beam 🙃 I'm so glad you took notes!! Can't wait to read it!! 🤓😍😍😍
Gorgeous ❤️
