Finding inspiration, I find, is generally the hardest to achieve when we focus on it - just like trying to remember a dream - it suddenly becomes elusive and just out of reach. As we all know - most of our best ideas come when we least expect them and often from very unusual sources - true creativity can’t be nailed in place (thankfully!) and that’s the fun and excitement of the whole process. Try explaining that to a child confronted with a piece of homework. It is hard enough for adults to grasp it but explaining to a child to just let the ideas flow does make them look up sharply. So imagine my delight when I asked my two sons to write a letter to each other outlining what they liked about each other (yes this was a punishment for picking on each other non-stop). The letters were full of descriptions, lists of reasons why they liked their sibbling, games they enjoyed playing together, experiences they had shared. It brought tears to everyones eyes and made us all realise how valuable our relationships are yet how lightly we sometimes take them. The spelling and grammar might have been a bit dodgy, but the sentiment was wonderful!
