I remember knowing as a child that the way to capture attention was to do the extraordinary or bizarre. I am a master of observing people's behavior, so this was not a stretch for me at all. Even as a child. Now it is second nature. I just naturally know what to do to get people to pay attention to me. Now of course, I do not only do this to command attention. I just do it because it seems natural. I paint that way. I decorate that way. I even cook that way.
It is a very handy skill. And I do this no matter what I do. I think outside the box in my work, my home, my dress and my whole life.
By thinking outside the box, I found the jewel. And guess what? He was not inside the box.
