"He writes beautifully, clearly, elegantly ... he is incapable of an unoriginal thought." - Joseph Polansky, Diamond Fire magazine                                                         *"I could not get enough! I actually read some of the essays 2 to 3 times and discovered new insights each time. ...  'Magical Living' by Bob Makransky is an easy to read little book with a lot of surprises. I am positive that it will enrich different people's own spiritual journeys in unexpected ways and help readers to consider opening their minds and hearts and begin a relationship with what surrounds them in the present moment. A great book to revisit more than once!" - Susan Violante, Reader Views."This book is a series of essays exploring ways to enhance and improve our lives by learning the elements of control necessary to reach a place of inner peace. The essays cover topics ranging from channeling spirit guides to talking to plants to communing with water spirits and most everything in between. There are exercises designed to raise awareness through each of the elements as well as to tear down or at least re-examine our own conceptions of who and what we are.  There are too many essays to describe in detail, but suffice to say, there is a little bit of everything for everyone here. It's a beautiful little book to carry around for when you just want something to read at odd moments, but I suspect that, for some, it will be a book that's picked up over and over again. At times, I find myself ruminating over something I read or glance at the contents page to have something jump out at me that's relevant to the moment. Makransky has put together a book of wonderful content.  I highly recommend this book to anyone with an open mind and a real willingness to look at themselves and their surroundings. Talk to the plants, splash in the water, listen to the air. Magic is all around just waiting for you."  - J Byrne, Psychic-Magic magazine
