"Fearless . . . "
Greetings,
Still slogging through a busy week here at the office - with the constant threat of Jury duty hanging over me everyday. And I'll be calling this afternoon again, after 4:30, to see if I have to report tomorrow. I'm always happy to serve . . . but it's thrown my work schedule into somewhat of a free-fall, as I can't make clients plans due to my possible need for civic duty . . .
But, this post isn't about duty - it's about fear.
The fear that keeps you from trying something new.
The fear of making a mistake.
The fear of being wrong.
But, embracing that fear can keep you from experiencing a wonderful life.
So . . . .
Be bold.
Be daring.
Paint your rooms amazing colours.
Use dramatic beautiful fabrics.
Eat on the good china.
Use your dining room.
Live with grace and style.
And, if the mood strikes you, eat ice cream after 10pm at night.
"Whatever you do in your decorating philosophy, be brave....never
wish you hadn't taken your vision right to the end. Make a bold statement."

Hope you're enjoying your summer (despite jury duty!); it seems somebody I know in the US is always on jury duty!
Take care,

On the highway, thoughtful, prudent drivers may get better insurance rates than showoffy hotdoggers who take crazy risks, but in the Designer 5OO, Poindexters eat dust. Start your engines!
BTW, Scot, one of my favorite New Yorker cartoons shows an angry judge pounding his gavel & pointing & yelling at the jury: "'Not Guilty'? By God, if there were any justice, all twelve of you would be in jail!"

Good luck with balancing work and civic duties.
Cheers,
Claudia
Now...I have to go conquer some of those fears.

I'm off to be brave while I eat ice cream off the good china after 10pm in the dining room! ;-) (that sounded like Mrs. Peacock in the Conservatory with the candlestick!)
