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!
