My bedroom sitting room. A fun career risk I took a few years ago was starting a furniture branch of my\u00a0Loralee Lewis\u00a0company<\/a>. Shipping costs and other unforeseen factors kept it from being as successful as I would have liked, but I am glad I took the risk! I love<\/em> a woman who takes a risk. (And I still may circle back to furniture later in life…you never know<\/em>!) This pink sofa is one of the beautiful pieces left of the line that I still own. It\u2019s silly to keep because several people have offered to purchase it, but I haven\u2019t been able to part with it! It represents lessons learned, beauty and failure all wrapped into one for me! I\u2019ve placed it in my sitting\/work\/Netflix-binge 😉 area of my bedroom and it makes me happy daily! Above it, I have Janet Hill portraits that resemble my sisters, my mom and me, my best friend, and my beautiful daughters. Women I admire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the wonderful thing ladies, (I\u2019ll tell you my secret), I have found there is so much beauty in personal trials and pain. In fact, often you can\u2019t get to the most beautiful things in the world until you experience a little bit of it. And the beauty and happiness on the other side far outweigh the sacrifice or hardship. So if you\u2019re going through something difficult – keep going. If you\u2019re afraid of taking a risk – take it. If you land on your face – it may hurt. In fact, it will. But you will survive. There is beauty in failure too. And you won\u2019t be able to part with it. At least, that\u2019s my experience. I mean, look at my great pink couch.\u00a0 \u00a0#gogetit<\/a>\u00a0#loraleelewis<\/a>\u00a0#takeyourrisk<\/a>\u00a0#loraleelewishome<\/a>\u00a0#pinkcouch<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
