Leslie, the Fearless (fill in the blank)



I was recently reading the New Year post from Deepika at Pattern Review and she talked about how she wants to be fearless with her sewing in 2012.  You know how a word can just resonate with you, but it will roll right off the next person.  Fearless really struck a chord with me and got me thinking about how I could apply this word to my life...

What if I am fearless with my sewing?  Would I have lots of great (and some really awful) experiences to share here?  Would I stretch my sewing and fitting skills to a new level?  Would you (my reader(s) gain sewing knowledge. 

What if I am fearless in my garden?  Would I plant different varieties of tomatoes?  Would there be such abundance that I would be giving away half of my garden?  How would plants respond to my new attitude?  Would there be blooms year round in my yard?

What if I am fearless with my photography?  Would I be getting up early on Saturday mornings and going out to shoot really cool Hill Country scenes (and possibly peeing in the woods-yikes!)?  Would my blog and tutorial pictures be clearer and more creative?  Would there be hundreds of pictures of my grandsons in different settings?

What if I am fearless in decorating my house?  Would I step out and buy unusual used furniture and use it in new ways?   Would I make changes that reflect my personality and not worry about 'resale value'?  Would I choose paint colors because I love them and not settle for the latest fad? 

What if I am fearless with cooking?  Would I ditch some of the tasteless offerings from gluten-free land and find ways to have delicious food that won't kill me?  Would I develop a love for new flavors?  Would I conquer new cuisines?

WHAT if I am fearless with people?  Would I share more, love, more, give more...

Hello, I am also from the linky party. I think it is very brave to claim fearlessness as your own.
You have a really beautiful site.
I am just getting started blogging, and would really appreciate any feedback you might have for me!
