Several years ago a girl in
the world came wandering into my mind,
I think she found her way
there from my heart.
It was during a time when I
was feeling small and childlike, overwhelmed with adult responsibilities and a
single mother of 4 beautiful children…
At the time I felt like a
child myself, looking for somewhere to hide, somewhere to rest. A girl in the
world gave that to me. She helped me to put words and feelings into pictures
and find expression when words were lost.
Creativity has endlessly
allowed me to make sense of the world around me. It has given me a way to
express thoughts and feelings that matter most, thoughts and feelings that seem
as if they are unspeakable at times.
I created a girl in the world
for the children and the child in all of us, for all the children who feel
invisible and voiceless, who are looking for a way to express themselves.
To express their fears, pain
and challenges, hopes and dreams.
I believe the first thing we
need to create is the space to have conversations that matter, communication in
all its forms that encourage and support our children to connect to themselves
and to others.
From that space all manner
of creativity, sharing caring, kindness and empowerment will flow, enriching
their lives and the world around them.
