When we were children, the world appeared to be a wonderful, magical place. Anything was possible We could do anything and be anything we wanted. Nothing was impossible.
Somewhere along the line we loose that sense of wonder. We use words like rational, logical and reasonable. Our dreams become small and limited.
But if we combine the wonder and magic of our childhood with the power of our adult mind’s capacity for reason and logic, we can not only see what’s possible, we can create magic!
