Lady Bug Lady Bug Fly Away

June 27, 4:42am Lady Bug, Lady Bug, Fly Away I used to love lady bugs when I was a little girl.  It feels like yesterday that I was whispering to them my secrets and then shooing them away to their burning homes.   I remember having an imagination that could carry me away to other worlds altogether.  My mother bestowed upon me this fantastic gift of creative thought when I was tiny - maybe only 3 or 4. My earliest memories are of being in the theatre, where my mother was a part of a pantomime troupe.  It was there that I learned to put on theatre make up and eventually became a professional clown, continuing this tradition of inspiring other children's creativity.
