I read an inspiring article about Iris Apfel, the interior designer who became a global fashion icon at 90yrs old. Before she died, she wrote ‘Colourful’ to share tips for a fabulous life.

Who doesn’t want a fabulous life?

So many tips appealed to me, but perhaps the one that is most relevant here is: ‘You only fail if you don’t try’. And as she points out, it takes a lot of energy to try new things, to push fears aside and make things happen. As she observed, it’s much easier to go with the flow and do what most people do. The trouble is it’s not very interesting.

As I return to work recharged after the Summer, I’m all set to launch my fabulous life. How about you?
