When I’m working with my wonderful clients, I have the privilege of seeing them up close (yes, even though I generally work by telephone) and holding up a mirror to them, so they too see aspects of themselves which they didn’t expect to find, didn’t know were there. A new, sharp focus is a big part, an exciting part, of the transformation process my clients experience.
I love taking photographs, and believe it is no coincidence that my favourite photography styles are macro (up close and personal, like this lovely lily) and portraiture, for which I often use the same, macro lens.
Sometimes I experiment with self-portraits. It is a bit of a palaver for sure, what with finding just the right spot to sit and hopping up and down to check the results, but I've learned a huge amount and have got to know myself a lot better through the process
What I’m driving at is that we can examine ourselves from a different angle, hone in and focus on different aspects, all by ourselves if need be. We can expose the surprising and extraordinary qualities which hold the potential for change, and with an energetic commitment to taking action, and constantly reviewing where we're at and where we're going we can transform the way we perceive ourselves, and our lives. Change our lives, in fact.
