The mind of a cat
Edgar Allan Poe once said, “I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.”
Sometimes I’ll watch my cat, Bold Kitty, as he hunts something I cannot see, and I'll wonder: Is he watching the movements of an insect? Or can cats really see spirits or into other dimensions? Or is he just play-acting, chasing something he’s made up in his mind like I did when I was a kid?
What does your pet make you wonder about?

Do you have imagination?
"Where there is no imagination, there is no horror."
~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Have you ever felt a shiver run down your spine when your house settled late at night? Have you sat at the edge of your seat while watching a horror movie? Have you felt your heart race while reading a scary story?
Then celebrate! According to Doyle you have imagination. And that is a superpower that you can use in your life and your business to create amazing things.
