What do I wish to celebrate? I would like to celebrate that I took a step toward my dream of becoming a photographer. I've been taking classes, but I feel like I really need hands on experience - to go out beyond my comfort zones, and work with a working photographer. So I emailed a photographer I admire and asked her if she would let me "intern"/"assist" her. I'm willing to do whatever grunt work I need to start moving in the direction I want to go. She got back to me saying she'd contact me at a later date when things slow down. So I'm thinking positive here that she will really allow me to work with her.
I read all my previous WISHCASTING, and I'm always droning about this. I feel like such a whiner! I know that if this is truly something I want, I need to take steps and put myself out there. Those steps are scary for me, because I am a more introverted person. Whether or not this photographer really is willing to let me work with her isn't the point. I'm celebrating that I took a step. If this falls through, I know that I can take this same step till I find someone who is willing to share their passion with me.
I wish to celebrate steps toward my dream.

It is totally scary to follow your creative dreams and it takes a lot of courage to reach out and ask someone you admire for help. Celebrating your steps and acknowledging all of the parts of your journey is so important. I'm so happy that you are able to pause and celebrate your steps. As you wish for yourself, I wish for you also!

You're not a whiner at all, you're just putting something together slowly and assuredly that you truly want and sending it out to Universe to pick up. Keep enjoying every step!
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely not a whiner. Here is to your small steps that will probably turn out to become giant steps if you keep going on your path to your dreams.
ReplyDeleteAs you wish for yourself so I wish for you also
