Read a Children’s Story Book
If you feel sad or bored read a children’s book. I just read Mary Poppins. So fun. Reading children’s books reminds me how it felt when my imagination was louder than my doubt. When I was less afraid and more adventurous. Suddenly my feet feel lighter.

Do you use Goodreads?
I enjoy Goodreads. You should try it. It’s like Facebook for readers. You can keep lists and read reviews. Try it. If you do, look me up and send me a friend request.

Be Seen and Not Heard
I was told as a child to be seen and not heard. Not because I was a girl, but rather because I was a child. I failed a lot. When I did succeed, I discovered a secret. By being quiet you notice what other humans often do not see when their mouth is running off…
