Coming up next, a little magical thinking when the Moth Radio Hour continues.

This is the Moth Radio Hour.

I'm Suzanne Rust.

Some people are so steadfast in their ability to manifest what they want in life that they almost seem to conjure it up.

Our final story is a perfect example of that.

Annalise Razik told us at the main stage in Chicago, where we partner with WBEZ.

Here's Annalise.

That was Annalise Razik.

Annalise is a Chicago-based performer, writer, activist, and grateful mother.

Her creative projects have ranged from leading theater workshops with incarcerated women to playing the back of a dragon.

Her most recent productions include the solo show, I Know a Place, about her relationship with her stepdad, Bill, and she is currently working on a piece about her Palestinian father.

Annalise says that Kaylee's gift lets her know what is possible, and it's made her pay more attention in life in general.

She also realized that sometimes things come to you in ways you may not be expecting.

If your focus is too narrow, you might miss the opportunity being presented.

I asked Annalise if Kaylee was still manifesting things into her life, and, no surprise, this is what she had to say.

To see photos of Annalise with Kaylee in orbit, go to themoth.org.

As you age,

Remember, you can pitch us your story at themoth.org.

That's it for this episode of the Moth Radio Hour.

We hope you'll join us next time.
