Take time to dream…
Posted by Sue on Mar 30, 2007
I advise clients, who are trying to take new steps with color in their homes, but have no sense yet of what they want, to go to the library; look through a bunch of home beautiful books, put paper strip markers by the spaces that appeal to them …and dream. It costs nothing!
My heart of business tele-class partner from Alberta, Pam Klappstein, has a wonderful business called Your Inner Artist . Her free newsletter this week was, in it’s simplest, about how it is necessary to deliberately schedule time in your life for your dreams… ahhh- yes Pam.
So last night I went to have a look at the Spanish immersion school in El Sal – a site I had bookmarked months ago- take a look if you like. I’ve emailed a question to the school. That doesn’t cost anything. True, an email doesn’t make the trip happen. But it’s a start.
It’s time to turn off the computer. I have a lovely client at ten this morning – we are working on sorting through all the STUFF in her kitchen before she has it redone- so that she will know what really fits in her life now and then build in accordance with that.
Yes- I DO love my Breathing Space work and am very glad it’s what I do. The Spanish is about allowing myself to imagine another dream becoming reality. And, because of doing that, having more energy for everything.
I’m wishing you the same!

p.s. To Dylan Emrys of whatyourbabyknows.com , classmate and friend, who just taught me by phone how to LINK successfully- many thanks.
Absolutely, Joanna. I’ve found that there is a delicate balance between structure and freedom. Without structure- no freedom. But, too much structure, and the freedom slips away.
Scheduling time to dream…
Your post is of particular interest, because we’re adding some new things to our living room- a new level of love, and color, and beauty. And I’m realizing that however daring I may be in my business, I’m hesitant in expressing myself artistically in the home.
So this is a ripe topic of exploration for me. Thanks!
Thank YOU Mark! Isn’t it interesting how each of us has our own set of daring and hesitancy. Luckily we can help each other.
Your living room changes sound delicious – bon apetite! Joanna
P.S. What I was meaning here is that every single person has a particular set of daring and hesitancy — It sounded a bit in my last post as though I was referring to the two of us … true – but I meant all the rest of the world as well. J
