Sometimes the truth is hard to hear.  Wednesday, my husband but his hands on my shoulders, looked me in the eyes and said; "Daphne, you are dreaming too small."

Whatever.

My dreams are HUGE.

He thinks I've outgrown my home office. I love my home office. When clients come over they become friends. We swap stories. We make memories. We drink lemonaid. I don't want to have a big impersonal studio that is too busy to get to know people.

He wanted me to go out and look for studio space. That made me uncomfortable. But also a little excited. So, I drove around and called a number on the side of a building. It was rented. {Sad face} But she gave me Seven more addresses. So I drove around some more. I peeked inside 1 thru 6 and got lost on the way to 7, but ran into a real gem. I pressed my face against the glass, called the owner and got the tour. It was fantastic. It was bigger than I thought I wanted. It was in my budget. It was decorated in my colors. {OMG!}

I told Michael. He came out to see it. He said, do you want it. I nodded. So, he paid the deposit for me. Then I cried like a baby.

Maybe we all dream a little too small. Without Risk there is no reward.

Looks like we're moving. Stay tuned for details...
