Don’t get me wrong. As a creative artist, I’m a pretty open-minded gal. Not to mention, giving advice is a part of my livelihood. So I do recognize the usefulness of being open to a little constructive criticism and direction. But I don’t necessarily need or value advice from everyone equally. And you shouldn’t either! Here’s a case in point. Simon Cowell, of the popular hit TV show. American Idol, didn’t view contestant Jennifer Hudson as a singer with much “star potential” and landed some pretty harsh words her way. Instead of allowing his perception to limit her, she went on to star in a hit movie and win several awards for her debut acting and singing performance. So much for “Simon Says!” This is how I operate... When I’m having a decorating dilemma, I seek the advice of my younger sister, or my brother’s fiancé’. They are decorating divas! In matters of the heart, I call on my musician friend in California, or my confidante Clara. For business matters, I consult professionals who have been successful on paths I’m trying to travel. My wardrobe and image consultant would definitely be my mom. With that being said… If you are not reflected on the list above, until further notice, please refrain from offering up your “two cents”, particularly if you fall into the following categories:
And here are a few things I could use help with, fron anyone willing:
Now
that
we’ve
had
this
exchange,
I
feel
lighter
already!
But
just
in
case
anyone
reading
this
column
still
feels
the
need
to
let
me
know
how
they
feel,
just
know…I’ve
probably
heard
it
already.
The
moral
of
the
story?
In
life
and
love,
never
let
someone
else’s
opinion
be
your
reality!
