And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

Words that are Speaking to Me

“the guts to do it…” I like that. It makes me think about a teacher I had in training who had a sudden insight about what it means to be bold in our teaching.
Ah, Sylvia. Her poetry is all about guts, creativity and the power of our imaginations. She will always be one of my idols.
