In my desire to celebrate the launch, I had planned to use the image on the left above. It's a photo of center of a Hibiscus flower that was an "eye-catcher" for me at some point.  Printed on canvas, it hangs on one of my walls.  

Every time I pass it, I feel warm, welcomed and celebrated. I'm drawn in by the colors, the patterns and textures, the rhythm and flow of the lines and thought it would be a good visual way to welcome you to the workshop details. If you're interested in the "why" of the second photo see the story in the PS at the end.

One woman who has enrolled in this program excitedly sent me a note that sums up what will be available and the results she'll have: 
 

"I’d love to do more with my iPhone camera and writing. I feel that I could be creative but I don’t make space for it. I would love to be creative to attract clients and have more joy mixed in with my busyness."

 

Here’s what one previous participant wrote:
 

“Not only did I find an alternative to the State of Funk, a whole new world opened up for me. The biggest effect is that I see ‘ordinary things in a heightened way. It lightens my day to perceive myself and the world from a never-ending fountain of fresh perspectives.

 

I use the camera for being more at peace with myself and my world. When I use the camera, I feel like I’m in charge and sometimes in life you're not. The camera helps me realize that a lot of the time what might be bothering me is the way I am looking at it.” - Marifran Korb

PS - The Hibiscus Story - It turns out that when I showed the first photo to a few different friends they were not at all attracted to it.

Disappointed, I did a search on my computer and found a different photo of the same flower (on the right) which my friends found more appealing. One friend was attracted to the different feelings in both.

 

My point in sharing the story is that one of the major elements in this interactive workshop is the opportunity to experience what's possible as we become aware of many different visual perspectives of the same image.
 

PSS - I'd love to hear/read about what you saw in either of the hibiscus photos. Did one or the other evoke any specific feelings in you? Did you see any images in it?

Simply reply to this email with your responses. I appreciate anything you care to share.
