30 More Chic Days

A Chic Paris Lockdown – Day 19 – Just Do It.

May 8, 2020

Roses at Parc du Ranelagh this morning.

Fiona Ferris calls Day 19 “Don’t Talk, Just Do” in her book, 30 More Chic Days. She writes that when she talks about a new idea or a project she’s excited about, the energy to actually implement the idea seems to slip away in the sea of words. Likewise, there are some projects that she’s been talking about forever, yet there never seems to be the time to do it. Fiona advises us to keep the big idea or life change a silent project. Using the words of the Nike advertisement, she encourages us to “Just Do it.”

So, in the spirit of this Day:

Whatever we’re complaining about, stop.

Whatever positive action we’re thinking about, do it.
