Life Design

Two months ago my husband and I "suddenly" picked up and moved ourselves to New York City far away from our cozy little bubble in Los Angeles.  I wasn't into the idea at first, but then got into it.  I started visualizing all the cool new ventures I would take up once settled and how dramatically exciting my life would become. So today I acted on one of those visions, to learn interior design.  Out into the cold snowy/rainy/icy downpour I went to the upper east side to check out the New York School of Interior Design.  

The school is located on a lovely street

I was really excited because I am an interior design junkie;  HGTV, blogs, websites, magazines, anything design I love it!  After chatting with the admissions girl and taking the tour of the school, I was a bit surprised that I wasn't itching to jump into the academic pool of designers in training.  So I was asking myself, why?  You're never to old to learn something new right?  So why not Sarah?  You have a flexible work schedule, you don't have kids yet and you can pretty  much do anything you desire.  And that was just it!  I  had done years of major design on my LIFE.  My life design floor plan is a perfect balance of freedom and flexibility.  Not sitting on my tush eating bonbons all day freedom and flexibility, but freedom and flexibility to nurture and create a family, to travel and still maintain a job, to fully practice my spirituality and participate in things that matter most. Committing to a set schedule for a looooong period of time didn't sit well with my inner design center, my soul.  Therefore, I decided to continue perfecting this life design of mine and to keep learning from the great universe of HGTV, blogs, websites, magazines etc. and share the results with ya'll along the way.  That is exciting!
