Happy 21st Birthday
As a child growing up in the Stockwell/ Vauxhall area of south London, one of the cleverest men around was our local tramp. Any thing that we asked him, he could answer apart from why was he a tramp? As an adult, I can remember seeing homeless men & women all over the world, and can clearly remember when The Big Issue appeared on the streets of London.
Last week Thursday evening, I attended the Big Issue’s 21st birthday celebrations. I am so inspired by these guys 🙂

Remember: Most of us are only 3 to 6 salary payments away from homelessness!
Thoughts on Thursday
When I was a child (violins), a creative person was someone that worked within the arts – nowadays we have realised that definition is outdated and wrong. Now Henri Matisse said: ‎”Creative people are curious, flexible, persistent, and independent with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play.”
Excellent definition :).

Thoughts on Thursday
Black is modest and arrogant at the same time.
Black is lazy and easy – but mysterious.
But above all black says this: “I don’t bother you – don’t bother me.”
