MagicStream.org is a literary e-zine, self-help, personal growth and holistic wellness resource. It features writing, art and references from past and present. The strength of the site is in the sharing of this journey we call life. Contributors include professionals in the field, beginning and established writers, and others who do have a story to tell, who share their experiences and their stories, but have never written before. The focus of Magic Stream is on personal growth and the universal in human emotion. Emotional fitness is approached in much the same manner as physical fitness. There are numerous references to self-help, mental health and wellness resources. The philosophy of MagicStream.org is that we do what we can to take care of our self, make our self stronger, accept our self as we are, and seek help when it is needed.

In Memory

Magic Stream first went online in 1994. Over the years, many people have visited these pages for comfort and to find the help they needed to get through the journey called life. It was never a one person endeavor. There have been many along the way. Today though, we mourn the passing of Terre Seuss. She was one of the early online pioneers, who did see in the Internet and her writing a purpose for the good of reaching out and touching each other. She was one of those who well knew that for all the good and the bad in the world, the sharing of the journey, can at times, make all the difference for those who come after. In her writing, Terre Seuss touched many.
Namaste, Terre
