An important part of my journey this year has been learning to stop for the small moment it takes to properly notice the beauty of fleeting things, like dew drops.
Catching Dew Drops
Celebrating Rejection
When I received my first rejection letter, generically worded as it was, I felt...honored. A bit special. Like I'd earned my first Brownie badge. Lost my first tooth. Received my first 'participation' medal on sports day. Rejection is a writer's right of passage, after all.
On creativity
Creativity is a combination of discipline and a childlike spirit.
Calm, Joy & Recklessness
"Don't be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand."
Up
We recognize instantly when a child needs lifting up, often without the need for words at all. We stop what we're doing. We respond. We lift them up - physically and metaphorically - and suddenly everything feels better. So why do we stop?
