Okay, let me be honest. I am NOT a risk taker. Anyone who knows me well, knows this. I don't downhill ski (avalanches), water ski (deep water!), mountain climb (again, avalanches), hike in the deep woods (cougars, duh), travel alone (bad guys), play sports (a broken nose is a real threat), swim far from shore or dive, etc... I don't really even take fashion risks. But that's because of personal style and taste not because I'm afraid. The "risks" that I'm taking these days are more about pushing myself to follow my dreams. Sending in that manuscript. Going to that conference. Meeting new people. Not risky is most people's minds, but risky to me. Moving away from my safety net is a new thing. And guess what? When I like how I look or love the clothes I'm in, I'm much more likely to brave these risks. And I'm actually really enjoying this new me!!! Who knows, I may go into the woods today. Brave those potential cougars.. Hahah Yeah, probably not. One baby step at a time.
Welcome to my dream closet, where each and everyday I choose the perfect outfit to fit my mood or inspiration. The only rule is... Wait a minute... What am I saying? There ARE no rules! This is a dream. MY dream. I can wear ANYTHING! Be ANYONE!! AND, I have a limitless budget$$$!!! BwAhAhAhA... Wow. This is a really fabulous dream... Thanks for stopping by my closet and having a look around. As you go, go quietly so you don't wake me from my slumber. SSsssshhhhhh
