"How did a couple of quirky siblings from suburban Pittsburgh end up as the king and queen of eclectic-design chic with their own HGTV show? They never let fear get in the way of a great idea. Leanne and Steve Ford share their secrets for how to turn dreams into reality. What makes you feel most alive? Siblings Leanne and Steve Ford discovered early in their lives that creativity--in very different forms--was what made them happy. It just took a few years to realize what to do with that passion. In Work in Progress, the HGTV design duo who failed their way to success tell the story of living their dreams simply to showing up again and again. From a middle-class Pittsburgh childhood to a hit design show, Leanne and Steve have learned that sometimes life's detours bring you home again. If you think you should have life figured out by now, if you wonder why you still don't know what you want to be when you grow up, Leanne and Steve want to remind you that it's never too late to pursue your next dream--because life is a creative process. So come enjoy their delightful back-and-forth conversation about growing up creative, never letting fear stop you, and appreciating the ways God created you to live a beautifully designed life"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 187-189)Avocado be gone! -- Grow slow -- Dead broke and filthy rich -- Show up anyway -- The lucky ones -- Find the light -- No guts, no story -- Roam on home -- I want my HGTV -- Forever, and then some -- Be excellent to each other -- Ignore everyone -- Leanneisms -- So far, so good.
