Mr. Nelson Mandela made a great remark by saying, “We do no one any favors by hiding our lights and pretending to be smaller than we are.”
Let’s all acknowledge that creativity is very much a part of our god given nature.
And, following up on Mr. Mandela’s wonderful quote, I’d love to hear about those fears that keep you from “shining your creative light” on us.
How have you been allowing yourself to pretend to be smaller than you are?
George Bernard Shaw once said: “You see things and say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were and say, ‘Why not?’” That quote embodies how Preston Bailey approaches every event.

You know what? I told myself that 2011 is going to be HUGE for Buds and Blooms and I’m making things happen! I don’t feel held back by fear of any kind or a lack of significant financial investment. I am moving forward! My designs are getting even better, my creative thinking is getting better and these in turn are fueling self-confidenc; which fuels better designs!
Everyone starts somewhere! I have no time or space in my head for fear!

My fair is making a mistake. I read one of your blogs where you said a centerpiece fell on a guest in your early days in the business. When i work on events, i’m always nervous about something going wrong with something i created/designed.

For some strange reason I’m always fearful of being late. This doesn’t have any logic since I am always early or on time but Rome traffic is so unpredictable. It’s scary for me to think that I could ever be late for a wedding.
Thank you Preston for helping us to talk about our fears which helps to face them.
