Today a few pieces of this humongous puzzle that is life fell right into place. Perhaps I got some help, and perhaps they didn't just fall randomly into place as much as they were accurately molded into shape and carefully placed there. But the pieces are placed none the less!

I'm honestly quite scared of the thought of me as a future interior consultant or designer. I feel totally clueless and I really can't see how three short years are going to get me ready for anything. But despite being a total rookie, something small, but significant fell into place today.

Designers tend to be of the more secretive sort. They want to keep their ideas from everyone, develop them in a cottage without electricity in the mountains, surrounded by wild animals and northern lights and finally baffle the world with their genius designs. That rarely happen though. Most of the time that "oh so secret and genius idea" is forgotten, lost and never reclaimed.

But today I realized what a wonderful and maybe rare thing it is, to be surrounded by like minded people who not only see their future as unclear, but wishes me well and chooses to give to make room to grow. I know now what 2+2=5 means. It means that if I am willing to fearlessly open up and give, we will generate so much more than I alone could ever have. That thought makes this new and unknown road into the world of interior design a little less scary.
