Exactly! Once I discovered THEIR interests: such amazing back up for Lis'n Tell sessions eg., a former graphic designer making fabulous props and an aromatherapist-in-training massaging children hands with organic rose oil (permission given/allergies checked) and others being great role models 👏🪄🐯🌹

#FridaKahlo 's letter to #GeorgiaOKeeffe is quoted in full in my new book: #WingstoFly on Creativity & Endurance: "...I would like to tell you everything that happened to me since the last time we met, but most of them are sad and you mustn't know sad things now...never forget your wonderful hands"

Oh Thank you kindly @carolinebowen.bsky.social ! Such a surprise being commissioned for this. It took me to old archives & FK's last lover's nephew, whom I found in 🇫🇷. My personal connection to FK goes back to my 20s, living with scoliosis & the guy who brought her work to the UK. All in the intro❤️‍🔥
Some of the books where I found references to Frida Kahlo's words as well as paintings.

SO interesting - now we need research (anybody know of any?) where we measure how iconic gesture supports intonation-which supports comprehensn and recall of story/vocab. I observe 100's times a yr running trainings how gestures linked to spkn concepts help the voice to convey meaning & experience.
