Dear Tash,

While we haven’t met in person yet, I’ve already learned from your posse that you are a super amazing human.  The challenge with being super amazing, is that sometimes you can forget to take care of yourself.  I know this has happened to me. Twice in my life I’ve been “sentenced” to bed rest where over activity was a matter of life and death.  Being forced to be still was super challenging and yet, I found something meaningful there.  I finally (for at least a period of time) slowed down to the speed of life.  The perspective you can gain from stillness is immense. 

I am praying with all my heart that you get well soon…and in the quiet times, I hope you discover a gift of perspective that can only come from being still.

Love,

Glenda (the goodwitch) Sims

A project for Jon Hicks to illustrate a childrens story, from a manuscript by Glenda ‘Goodwitch’ Sims mother, Genevieve Gelles.

There are moments in life that are so magical that it feels like I’m inside the movie “Willie Wonka and Chocolate Factory”. 

If you want to view paradise,
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There’s nothing to it

This would be one of those moments.
