Courage to follow a dream



One of my lily-g customers told me how much I would love this Beautiful villa in France featured in this months Country Style magazine, and how right she is! as I flipped through the magazine I found the villa only to think "I know this house" My favourite book (aside from My French Life) is "At my Table" the book I think I have sold 100 times myself and read from front cover to Back, my beautiful sister Anita bought me a copy for my birthday and since then I haven't stopped talking about it driving my customers crazy!!!! This amazing family packed up their lives into two shipping containers and quit Melbourne to take over a run down french chateau. I'm in awe of them, how do we find the courage to follow our dreams to up-root our family, unless you are wealthy there are jobs, money to consider, education and so many other factors, but the truth is if your passionate about something enough what really stops us?

Curious about your favorite book, "At My Table" - is that written by Nigella Lawson?
I wish I were a little more brave to follow my dreams!!
