Wishcast Wed/52 Photos Project

Good Morning August Breakers, wishers and fellow photogs today is Wednesday and that means wishing with Jamie Ridler and sharing pictures at Bella's 52 Photos Project.  The prompts are:

Wishcasting prompt from Jamie Ridlers Studios: What do you wish to choose?
Bella's 52 Photos Project: Black and White.

This week's wish is very timely as I have been trying to choose something these last few weeks.  I tend to over analyze when making decisions, especially in regards to how my decision may impact others or how it may make others feel about me, do you know what I mean? 

The decision centers around a workshop that is calling to my creative heart and it's within driving distance which is big for me as I don't like to fly.  I would have to miss 3 days of work unpaid and a play that my boss invited me and another co-worker to as an after tax season bonus. This workshop would put me in the creative space I have been longing for so you think the decision would be an easy one but no I am sitting here worrying about how she will feel if I don't go to the play even though she did not clear the dates ahead, she just bought the tickets.

The other main issue was finding a ride share as the trip would be a long one to do solo and I wasn't seeing anyone going from my area. Long story short I decided Sunday to just let go of the anxiety of making this decision and I said if it's meant to be something will facilitate it.  I am not one to just let things go like that but I was driving myself a bit batty. 

Well I guess I should know by now that if you put things out there don't be surprised when the Universe provides.  The next day I received an email from someone in my area who was thinking of going and wanted to know if she did would I like to drive together!!!!  If we can both work it out I will be heading to this workshop and if it doesn't I know the opportunity will come around again.  The big lesson for me was once I let go of the anxiety and stress the choice became clear, always choose with the heart whenever it's possible.

This quote also came my way this week, another timely reminder.

"Let yourself by silently drawn by the stronger pull of that which you really LOVE."  - Rumi

The pictures I chose for the Black and White challenge over at Bella's are 2 of my favorite black and whites. The feather pic is very comforting to me and I love the texture I can sense through the picture.  The second one of my necklaces and Kuan Yin are my visual reminders to have compassion, faith, courage and love.

So my fellow wishers what are you wishing to choose this week?  As you wish for yourself, I am wishing for you also.

Namaste,
Karen
