Because of this article, I am creating an area in my home that will be my indoor Secret Garden where I can dream and write in the winter!Nan C Loydhttps://www.littleblackdressdiaries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-7022647032812707472022-12-15T12:23:14.911+13:002022-12-15T12:23:14.911+13:00I, too, learned that lesson the hard way, one of t...I, too, learned that lesson the hard way, one of telling people your dreams, visions and goals. And like you, I also realized that they don’t have my vision so it really doesn’t mean anything to them. We truly have to believe in ourselves without needing a cheerleader. I have learned the value of writing everything down, no matter how silly. It may not go anywhere but then again, it may fly off the page and become reality. As to Christmas, it still isn’t much fun decorating without Leland, my Alpha Hubby. Last year I had one lit pencil tree. This year I have that but I also found a few decorations to put around the living room. It’s enough! As always I am grateful and focused on the real Reason for the Season!Nan C Loydhttps://www.littleblackdressdiaries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-76334841489129953842022-12-15T08:28:28.710+13:002022-12-15T08:28:28.710+13:00Haha, love this Karen!Haha, love this Karen!Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-20340793597389683912022-12-15T08:26:56.016+13:002022-12-15T08:26:56.016+13:00Another short addendum: I'm reading your &quo...Another short addendum: I'm reading your "Thirty Slim Days" and just now laughed where you said you'd decided that you are not a person who eats potato chips. I had decided that I was not a person who "buys" potato chips so several times I have astonished friends by saying, "Oh yay! Potato chips! I'm not allowed to have them unless they're served to me! Thank you!" (with all the exclamation points) Not the most chic behavior, right? From now on I will be the person who enjoys them quietly at parties and keeps her mystique. xo karen Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04243448881221465601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-56312026862672534292022-12-15T03:29:28.555+13:002022-12-15T03:29:28.555+13:00This habit has helped me immensely, Fiona.

I love that feeling of moving through the world with my energy pulsing under my skin. xo karenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04243448881221465601noreply@blogger.com
