You know the old saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"?
Biggest. Lie. Ever.
Words are ALMIGHTY!
A throwaway comment from someone in your teens has the power to re-write your entire life script.
A regular practice using positive affirmations has the power to re-wire your brain.
I was in my 30s when I realised, I was inadvertently living the narrative from a page torn out of someone else’s story. I believed that writing was just something banal you did at school. And art was just for fun.
I'd forgotten how much I loved to write and draw. So I followed my heart and came back home to art and words.
These days you will find me eating dark chocolate, sipping on green tea and waiting for low waisted jeans to come back into fashion, while I copywrite, proofread and work on my children’s picture books.
Words can hurt, but words can heal.
I’m so happy that I flipped the script.
