Dear ,

In yesterday's weekly issue of Picture to Ponder, I wrote that for the next few days I would be doing an almost daily mailing of Picture to Ponder, with photos, to remind you of what's possible in your world.

Tuesday is the start of my four-week Through and From The Lens telecourse and I want to make sure you don't miss out on this opportunity for new ways of celebrating and finding the beauty in your world.

I also stated that in yesterday's issue, in acknowledgment of all of you experiencing severe winter weather, I would feature one of Sam's snow photographs. Here is one taken many years

ago in Deep Run in Old Bridge, NJ. In addition to taking wonderful pictures, Sam also developed and printed all of his black and white photographs. This included mine after he introduced me to the camera.

The photo reminds me of a recent conversation with Marifran Korb, marifrankorb. com. In discussing how Through and From The Lens had altered her life, she states:

"I am now photographing lots and lots of things I never would have photographed before. And even if I don’t have the camera with me every minute I can see these things. 

Like shadows on the snow, for instance, that I wouldn’t have paid attention to.   I would have thought, 'Oh, it’s just ordinary.' But I now see the designs in some of them and where it’s swirling. The  snow is swirling and then the effect of the light and the shadow on that. 

It makes my life richer to notice that . . ." Click here to listen to Marifran and me... In addition to her words, I am totally enraptured with the way she speaks them. Do listen.

She states, at the beginning of the short coversation, how she now sees beauty in a whole different way, seeing things on a deeper level with a greater appreciation of life and what's in it. "It brings great joy to me."

Self-Reflecting Queries -
I invite you to look into your life. Look closely around you. Are you seeing the intrigue and beauty wherever you look?

If you are engaged after reading the above and/or listening to Marifran, I invite you to join the next group in Through and From The Lens.

Each class is limited to 10 participants only, so you can have my full, personal attention. It starts in a few days, so act now.

Inspirationally,


Sheila
