"Once upon a time" – these four words are immediately relaxing, as like magic they encourage us to settle in for story time.
I celebrate the fantasies of fairy tales, knights, castles, princes and magical potions – they allow our minds to step into expansive adventure. Our imagination is like a treasure chest: lots of goodies inside if you just keep digging.
My next book is entitled "Once Upon A Time" and invites us to explore the value and depth of "story". The expression of our own voices in creative form liberates us from the mundane. The more we let go, the more we have to give.
There is an artist in each of us. Choose your 'canvas' and express yourself on it, in it, around and through it.
Oh, and by the way…do you see that old man in the tree?
and the story never ends

Nice job. I never realized what a powerful phrase "Once Upon A Time", was until reading this post. When I hear it, I naturally start to relax and listen.

Thanks Standolyn, we heard those magical words so much as a child…I think it's time we brought them back and let them play with our imaginations!
