The story behind my self portrait
I’ve often been told I’m a dreamer.
My head is in the clouds.
I have a vivid imagination.
I daydream.
When I was in school, I was terrible at maths and science. I loved creative subjects where answers were not black and white. When I didn’t choose the practical options for my senior subjects, I was told I would never go far in life.
Instead, I won our school’s award for academic excellence, I topped the business and dance subjects, I gained two Bachelor’s degrees and a postgrad qualification, I went on to have a successful career with the police service as a media advisor and now run a beautiful business as a creative.
Oh tell them all I said hi 💁♀️
What makes me sad is that having your ‘head in the clouds’ is seen as such a negative thing.
To be honest, it’s quite beautiful to be able to daydream. I wouldn’t want to be any other way. What’s the alternative?
So I hope my self-portrait ‘Head in the Clouds’ reminds you that it is safe to daydream.
Have your head in the clouds.
See possibilities everywhere.
Dream big.
