Soulhappy.

Very shortly, I leave for California.  Just me.  Well me, my camera, a bulging suitcase and a whole lot of excitement.  At the other end, I’ll hopefully find Krysta who’s a wee bit excited herself.  Ten days of uninterrupted face to face conversation would be enough but we’ve added a few other things to the list, like:

- shop vintage
- shoot in gorgeous light
- pour wine
- meet beautiful friends
- take road trips
- discover side alleys and back streets
- forget schedules
- try not to eat cupcakes for breakfast.  Well, not every day.

    I am so looking forward to this…it’s just what my soul needs right now.   You might have gathered I’ve been otherwise distracted the last few weeks, things big and small have taken my attention but I’m looking forward to a calmer time and some exciting changes coming up after I return :)

    And talking of things my soul needs..I spent a good part of this past weekend with nine of the girls from my last Evolve workshop who’d traveled from all over Australia to be here.  We lounged around,  ate lollies,  talked photography,  learned about one other,  and laughed.  What amazing, gorgeous beings.  How truly blessed I feel.  I’m quite certain there is some unseen force that canvases participants for my workshops and only lets the beautiful people through.  Thankyou, girls..my heart is full and happy today :)

    Sheye xx

      So nice Sheye, I hadn’t blogged in ages either, as I pressed “post” I received an update that you had just posted as well – made my heart a little warm.

      Hope your trip is wonderful!

      And at the same exact time, 9 of your first Explore girls from the US (and Canada) were gathering from north, south, east and west for the very same reason. What a coincidence huh? We had a blissfully fun weekend and thought of you often. Have a wonderful time with Krysta…we’ll be thinking of you! :)

      Its funny how a certain type of person attracts the same qualities in others. A beautiful person attracted the beautifulest group of girls I have ever met. A big thank you to you Sheye. A weekend I will hold in my heart forever. Have a lovely holiday and a safe journey. xx

      Wishing you a wonderful trip with your Krysta!

      The Evolve weekend sounds like it was fabulous. A special group of women all bound by two things – you and photography. So very special.
