Life is full of ‘What If’s. Today we’re going to focus on some of those What If questions.
Like what if everybody in the world could hear what you were thinking?
What if you could talk to your pets?
What if you only had one finger and thumb?
What if you could only sleep for 15 minutes at a time?
What if Mr Leverett isn’t as good of a dancer as Miss Bankhead?
I want you to come up with a list of as many what if questions as you can today- make them as wacky or as serious as you like!
Then select a few of those questions to answer yourself or send them to a friend to answer so you can answer theirs; and as always… send them to me so I can see too.
