The photograph above is of a Phalaenopsis orchid plant. If it "talks" to you in any way, I invite you to share with me, by reply email, what you think the plant and/or the whole scene might be saying.
The plant was gifted by a parent to my daughter-in-law who is an amazing 5th teacher. Teaching virtually was extremely challenging for her and most of the students and parents. The last few months with students back in the classroom, and some still at home, were even more difficult. Since she was going away to spend time with my granddaughter and great-grandson, born in March 2020, she gave me the flowers.
For the most part, since I've been working from home for many years, it was not much of an adjustment for me. I rarely went out and did start missing family, some local friends, and the people I would encounter on my Nature walks. Some of the highlights for me were flowers my son brought up to me for different occasions... taking photos at all stages and creating videos with some of the photos....my iPhone with its camera became an even closer friend.
Insofar as the Pandemic itself, all of my family and friends and their extended families were/are extremely blessed that there was no one amongst them affected by the disease. I hope that same holds true for each of you! If not, I am sincerely interested in hearing your stories about your challenges and inspiring moments as well.
The Present and Future plus a Request -
I am working on a Pilot Course Project to create a program focusing on ways of using the Camera and other creative tools to help people to Shift Perspectives in their lives.These shifts can result in
deeper connections with family members, friends and community and transformed relationships with yourself and others. Ultimately this will lead to more fun, freedom and greater happiness in your lives.
I have been chatting with people about their challenges. The title and content by my market research. I am currently conducting interviews to determine the most helpful topics to include and the best way to present them.
Given your experience with me over the years, I would very much appreciate your helping me with this research by joining me, one-to-one, on Zoom (with or without your being visible), or the phone, for a 15 to 20 minute chat. Any, and ALL, sharing is strictly between you and me. It will be TOTALLY
anonymous.
