The Inner Child and Your Imagination.

Looking at a picture of an abandoned mansion in America on Facebook the other day triggered something in my imagination, I managed to sit in my favourite coffee shop this morning and put pen to paper. I got the outline of a new story down and when I have time to sit and start filling in the gaps of the outline. That moment when you feel excited about something, something that is within you, something that only you can see at this point. You know others might not like it, but you will and do already. That is your imagination, and for me that one picture was enough for my imagination to run riot and have fun.

Your imagination. That is your way, That is your way to escape one reality into another.  Find something that catches your attention, let the inner child grab it and take it where it wants to, you might find yourself giggling at something and others have no idea and start giggling with you for no reason. Your imagination can take you to so many places without leaving where you are right now. We get so bogged down in our world of work, study, paying bills, family and so on that we don't remember how to imagine things as much. I know it has taken me a long time to let myself re engage with my inner child and imagination.

Now Dumbo is a very well known character and he believed he could fly, lets be kids again just for a moment and believe we can fly as well. Where would you fly to and who would your fly with? let your imagination run away with you just for a little while.

Looking at the picture of Dumbo, does it remind you of your childhood? does it tug at your heart strings? Or are you just saying, that's kids stuff and I don't have time for that?

What ever your week brings for you, please stop and let your inner child and imagination just wonder, and maybe you will see something you haven't seen since you were a child, before the world got to real.

Have an awesome week.
