We all have limiting beliefs we have picked up along the way. I can’t sing, I can’t draw, I can’t dance, Im too old, I'm too young. We could save ourselves a lot of angst if only we were more like a small child.
The best laid plans…
I sat down to type up my notes about creativity. Then I remembered the date and sat here thinking about my dad.

All my life I have sought to express myself with words. Sometimes it has an impact on others and they let me know, but not always. It does have an impact on me. Somehow putting it on 'paper’ crystallises my thoughts and I hear my inner world with more clarity.
Flight or fight
Human beings are amazing. How we are wired up is endlessly fascinating to me. I studied horse psychology for a few years. How and why horses do what they do and how they think.
