“I shouldn’t. It’s irresponsible anyway.” No, it’s not. You’re allowed to pursue things that bring you joy and remind you of being a kid. As adults, we often think we have to behave a certain way and pick hobbies that “make sense.” But you have permission to do the things that spark wonder and carefree time. You have every right to spend time on something that isn’t productive, doesn’t lead anywhere, and doesn’t have an immediate payoff. It’s okay to live in wonder and play, to feel giddy and excited about small things. You’re an adult and that means that you get to choose. Free will and so ;-)

This is a short story about letting my inner child run free through discovering the enchanted world of Disney Lorcana, a trading card game (TCG)—and about how a little creature called “shame” thought it was invited to play.

Not a gamer or card player? Neither was I and you don’t have to become one, to listen to this episode. I guarantee, there’s inspiration in it, even if you have no clue what Lorcana is.

For my fellow Disney Lorcana Illumineers: I’m just starting out with Disney Lorcana (Ravensburger) and learning as I go. It’s been such a joy so far—and, who would’ve thought, I even pulled an Enchanted card! Sooooo exciting, right?

Much love,
Bettina
