Adult Bullies Part 2

I have never liked those who dictate to others.  I have rallied against that

attitude my whole life.  I have never slavishly followed a fashion trend or style

because it is currently considered in vogue.  

I do not like it when others tell me I can't do something and hate it even

more when they go on to do exactly what they told me I could not.

I have and always will be a free spirit.  It would appear that I have 

chosen a care free path, but it is not.  I have butted heads with some who

like to have their own way and then insist that others agree with them.

I march to my own drummer.  I never just accept, but always question.

I like the state of New Hampshire's motto:

Live Free or Die

Thankfully we live in a country where we are still free to choose our own

path, and hope that will always be so.  I hope that some of my attitude lives

in your hearts as well.  It's not an easy path, but the journey is so much more

rewarding when you live your life free of silly rules.

Now, obviously there are rules that are necessary to protect the rights and

lives and property of others.  I am not suggesting in any way that those rules be

ignored.  But there are superficial rules that dominate our society that only

benefit those who create them.  Decorating rules for example.  I have always

told my clients that their homes are their castles.  Choose the colors that make

YOU happy.  Do what makes your heart sing when you walk through your door.

Just keep in mind that there will always be bullies who stroke their own egos by

convincing others of their choices.  Don't let it happen to you.  

Blaze your own trail.  Put your blinders on and follow your own bliss.

Hugs,

Susan and Bentley

PS:  Here is a warning about the silliness of slavishly following fashion trends ~

remember the padded shoulders and hairstyles of the 80's?  Didn't work for

everyone!
