Part of my Children of Destiny Series. We need to let our children have exploring adventures, let them dream, like this little girl, riding her skateboard on the back of an elephant. a fun way to show a child exploring in a larger that life way. Kids dream extravagantly and without limitations of what they know as reality right now, but imaginatively beyond all impossibilities as they currently know, that’s what makes dreaming so fun.

Inspiration
Part of my Children exploring Destiny series, which was inspired by my son Aaron, when he was a young boy would ask to have broken electronics like VCRs, computers and such and then proceed to take them apart and just stare at the components for hours and then days and as any clean freak mother would do, I repeatedly asked, what are you doing with this mess??? Clean it up, put it together, do something! Right? Well, little did I know, he was studying the components, the little board grid things and how one part related to the next. Well, now he is all grown up and is walking in that destiny, who he was made to be, a music recording engineer, who also designs and builds sound recording equipment. Who knew? Obviously, I didn't at the time!
