Ignite Your Inner-Child: Feed Her Art by Janice Taylor, Life & Wellness Coach, Hypnotherapist, Weight Loss Expert, Author, Artist, Positarian

This week I had two rich, fully satisfying and illuminating client conversations about the Inner Child. My inner-child, their inner-child, your inner-child is the divine child that lives within; she who reflects our true self. She is pure; she is beautiful. I suspect she’d like your attention, and she’d like to be set free. Set free to create, to play, to celebrate. And, I am fairly certain that she’d like her crayons back!

Read through, ingest on a cellular level, and then allow your imagination to roam and run.

13 (a baker’s dozen) Quotes to Ignite Your Inner Child.

Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.

Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air – explode softly – and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth – boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn’t go cheap, either – not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. ~Robert Fulghum
