Had a good day today. Helped a bunch of people to step forward on their creative journey. I feel useful on days like today.
Most of my mentoring goes to people with serious economic privilege, and I recognise that is less than ideal. Today's group paid $50 for four hours, lunch and a copy of the book.
That was thanks to Tamron, Hobolite and Ted's Camera stores. Their sponsorship made it possible.
Plus they got a tonne of Shellie, and a chance to step into a slam dunk scenario where the light, styling and lens is set up for them to practice success. To experience their own best.
I don't think in life we get a chance very often to simply reach our own best. It's a very precious thing and I wish for everyone to hand that opportunity.
In a world where confected emotions and fake images are flooding every online space, spending an entire day with real people, real food, real smiles and real joy was something more than a little special.
Being offline for the day was just icing on the cake!
