What Should I do?

Recently I have been made an offer.......

perhaps that I shouldn't refuse.

I met a man from India (Dehli) 

and he is in the process of building green homes 

for expatiates living in India.

Sounds cool right?

Can you see me here?

He has seen my work and wants me to be the designer 

of his turn key homes for ex-pats.

These designer homes would be leased to the tenants for approximately 1 to 2 years.

He would be dependent on me to 'Westernize' the homes inside and out for the comfort of the tenants.

I would design the interiors and be the exporter of the furnishings.

This would all be done on a small mark-up because the quantities could be great.

The thought of spending time in India 

is exciting and frightening at the same time! 

so.....

What would I wear?

Maybe this with leggings or capri pants underneath.

Would it be as sweaty as it is here???? 

If so...yucko.

What would I would eat......?

I love the food, and the SPICES.

I even love the smell of curry.

Americans either hate or love the taste of curry, 

I am the latter.

I could eat it everyday.

......and I just may end up eating it everyday if I go!

If I were a young designer........I would never go!

I have no fear any longer of being drugged and sold into the sex trade!

 hahahahaha

What are your feelings on this opportunity?

Seriously?

Should I see what happens.......

 and if things turn out to be safe, 

including legitimate & 'kosher '....should I go?

And if anyone has had previous experience doing business in India,

please share your experiences with me.

I Am Under-Whelmed

I am feeling underwhelmed, um .....well....
I really mean overwhelmed.
There is very little business going on.
People are just not
beating showroom doors down to buy furniture.
Well, at least not here in Boca Raton, Florida.

And what decent work I have in front of me....
I just can't seem to 'get centered' and get it going.
You know... the tedious stuff,

the drawings, the estimates from workrooms, the phone calls, and the follow ups....etc, etc.
Boring and tedious this designing life can be.

I have also lost a close male friend of mine this past week.

It was unexpected....but not a surprise if you get my meaning.
He had struggles, and they were not money struggles,
relationship struggles, or health struggles.

He was 52 and I think he may have died of a broken heart.

He was misunderstood in more ways than I could begin to explain.
He loved poetry.
He would read it to me for hours, or until I begged him to stop...
or I just fell to sleep....but he would keep reading.
He loved it so.
And if you ever met him
you would never believe this guy was into poetry.

He put up very tall walls to keep people away

He always lowered the bridge for me.

Like I said, he was my friend.

I will miss him.

Who knows, someday he may be reading poetry to me again. 

I am underwhelmed and overwhelmed 

at the same time.

I have a bad habit of not dealing with 'events', 

if you know what I mean.

I am so busy trying to keep up with all I have 'to do' 

that I just stuff my feelings into some 'feelings closet'

so that I can just keep up with the 'beat of my drum.'

I am feeling irritable and discontent.

Not good.

I think I will make some brownies.

Miss Barry's New Chair

This is it!

Fabulous. No?

It is Deco-ish....no?

I have always felt that chairs 

contribute greatly to a room's ' personality.'

I still do.

You can make such a statement with a great chair.

The perfect chair.

Oh.....how I love perfect chairs.......

Now this chair design is old as the hills...

but in a silver leaf finish as shown here?

Do you agree that chairs are capable of 

making a big statement in a space?

Can a chair give a room the 'WOW' factor?

Creative Visualization 6.12.2010

Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, 

your creativity, or your curiosity. 

It's your place in the world; 

it's your life. 

Go on and do all you can with it, 

and make it the life you want to live.
-- Mae Jemison

have a sweet weekend!
