I Thought It Was All A Flash

Well It's All Right To Cry. It Helps A Great Deal Sometimes.

I Was Lucky Enough To Be The Lady That Was Asked To Be Maria In The Sound Of Music, And That Film Was Fortunate Enough To Be Huge Hit. The Same With Mary Poppins. I Got Terribly Lucky In That Respect.

When I Read To Children, I Try To Become The Characters. It's Great If You Can Make A Separate Voice For Each Character. Sometimes You Can Lower Your Voice With Excitement Or Get More Intimate About It: You Can Lean Forward And Engage The Children As A Narrator Or As A Reader. It's Particularly Important That You Find The Voice That You Want To Use For Each Character, Because Then Children Can Imagine That Person As You're Reading Aloud. And Of Course, The Illustrations Help Enormously.

Beginnings Are Always Hard.

There Will Be Many Times In Your Lives--- At School, And More Particularly When You Are A Grown Up---when People Will Distract Or Divert You From What Needs To Be Done. You May Even Welcome The Distraction. But If You Use It As An Excuse For Not Doing What You Suppose To Do, You Can Blame No One But Yourself. If You Truly Wish To Accomplish Something, You Should Allow Nothing To Stop You, And Chances Are You'll Succeed.
