I have been sitting on a final decision about the workshops I had planned for this year, that I had postponed for too long. Unsure what was going to happen. Worrying. Thinking. Procrastinating. Even fearful of what would happen. Yes worrying too much.
Waiting until I felt that we could start up tours and workshops again. Thinking about how to do them safely. Where and when. What to run.
Living in our ‘uncertain’ world over the past few months has taken its toll hasn’t it.
Over the past week I have been working hard in between writing and presentations getting it all together to the point where yesterday I could notify my booked in clients of the new dates of postponed events.
Then it happened. A sudden rush of positive and uplifting emails. Everything changes. The reshuffling was worth getting just right. And suddenly it’s all ok again.
Tomorrow I will announce all of my ISO Escapes for photographers living close to me. Very small group events so that we can remain safe, and get out with others and feel that enthusiasm boil up in us for our love of photography.
My next big project is to get the rest of next year sorted around the big events that I moved. All great stuff.
So, while I personally felt I was procrastinating and over worrying, it was exactly the right thing to do. To wait to see what was happening before moving. A little bit of certainty is such a wonderful thing.
This morning I am so glad I did.
It will be only a handful of weeks before I am out with my family of photographers photographing again.
I just can’t wait.
Tomorrow I will tell you some more.
