The Magic of Imagination

When was the last time you let your mind run free and go on a fanciful adventure? Imagination is a vacation and play land for the mind and soul. It is letting the inner child in us out to play. Children , and we all were one once, have the ability to see and think of things differently. More simply but with flair. Anything can be possible. How wonderful to have gumdrop trees, lemonade waterfalls and rafts made of chocolate. To fly on the backs of large colorful birds, soaring through the sky to the tops of mountains where you can see endless forests that go right to the sea. Unfortunately, as we grow older and have more responsibilities, our visits to these wondrous places happens fewer and fewer until one day, they become a distant memory. In fact it is sometimes discouraged…..grow up! Act your age! Stop being childish!!! When in fact, that is exactly what we should be doing, being more young in heart and mind. The happiest people are those who laugh often and take a lighter approach to life. We must be responsible, but not let it consume us.

Books are filled with stories about seasons, holidays, special occasions or people. There does not need to be a given season, anytime is good to read a book. They are meant to be read over and over!!

My books I LOVE MY SOCKS, THE SNOWMAN CHOIR and THE BEARS’ HALLOWEEN BALL are fun to read and kids can enjoy looking at the bright and colorful pictures. So, read, read and read some more. Books can take you to wonderful places. May you always believe in dancing bears, singing snowmen and the magic of imagination.
