Mind. Blown.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot of cool stuff with this 10 year anniversary. In case you hadn&#8217;t noticed, we have a shiny new website! After nearly 10 years our site now plays nice with smartphones and tablets, as well as the good ol&#8217; desktop. And yet, comments still don&#8217;t work. The more things change, the more they stay the same, right? So you&#8217;ll need to show your love and share your thoughts on our articles by visiting The Magical Buffet&#8217;s Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram accounts. <\/p>\n<p>Along with our shiny new site, you&#8217;ll notice there is now a Shop category. That&#8217;s right, we&#8217;ve got merchandise! And not some lame-o self-promotion stuff, but things that hopefully you will think are cool and be proud to wear or welcome into your home. Here&#8217;s a few of those items in my home!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13815\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13815\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/medusa-shirt-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13815\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13815\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Medusa is my Homegirl Tri-Blend Tee.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13818\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13818\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/quartz-glass-edited-260x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13818\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13818\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">When in Doubt, Quartz!

And honestly, I can&#8217;t come up with words to thank you all for your support, enthusiasm, and patience. I continue to struggle with my headaches and my health affects every aspect of my life, The Magical Buffet included. Yet everyone is still here, even me! THANK YOU!<\/p>\n<p>As further thanks, say hello to the best giveaway ever! I reached out to two fantastic publishers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newworldlibrary.com\/#\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New World Library<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.innertraditions.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Inner Traditions<\/a>, and asked if they would each give me a copy of one of my favorite books that they ever published..and they did! These two books mean a lot to me, and hope whoever wins them finds them as inspiring and insightful as I do!<\/p>\n<p>From New World Library we&#8217;ve got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newworldlibrary.com\/Books\/ProductDetails\/tabid\/64\/SKU\/15596\/Default.aspx#.W7Ela2hKhPY\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sit Down and Shut Up: Punk Rock Commentaries on Buddha, God, Truth, Sex, Death, &#038; Dogen&#8217;s Treasury of the Right Dharma Eyeby Brad Warner<\/a>, and Inner Traditions was kind of enough to send me a copy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.innertraditions.com\/phantom-armies-of-the-night.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Phantom Armies of The Night: The Wild Hunt and the Ghostly Processions of the Undeadby Claude Lecouteux.<\/a> What do these books have in common? Absolutely nothing except that I freakin&#8217; love them to pieces!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re doing the Rafflecopter thing! Contest ends Sunday, October 7, 2018 at 11:59pm eastern.
