Suzie's ramblings: EXCITED!

A medium to long term goal of ours has been brought forward by quite a few years and we couldn't be happier. It is something that we have talked about, dreamt about and worked towards and now it is within grasp. We are happier than we have been in quite awhile, both individually and as a couple. This has been such a positive thing for us, that we are hoping the positivity transfers and that this last round of treatment WORKS! I am hoping, that as the saying goes "Like begets like"... "Positivity begets positivity".

I am almost finished my Proofreading course- so far I have received three high distinctions and three distinctions. I have 4 more assignments to complete and submit which I am hopeful of completing within the next couple of weeks!

The photography club that I started approximately 20mths ago has gathered a lot of momentum and I couldn't be happier. We have gained sponsors and an annual photography competition supported by a newsagents in Mt Isa. It is very satisfying to see that my hard work and commitment has finally started paying off.

My little business is also starting to gather momentum. I have had three newborn photo sessions already, with another two booked in as well as a family portrait session booked. Again, my hard work and commitment is paying off. This is a little harder to promote however as it is ME... People think that I am an extrovert, but I really am not and I find self promotion quite difficult. I have to psyche myself up, put on a 'business hat' and go in guns blazing... that's the only way to do it. If I am not psychologically prepared to promote myself- things collapse and nothing gets done. In fact, I am preparing myself now for tomorrow! Tomorrow I am going to try and market myself to get a few shoots booked in.

When I was driving home the other day from Townsville, I decided to take my time and stop and take photos along the way. I had a lovely day, however the conditions weren't conducive to taking photographs as it was bright, glarey and windy. However I persevered and here are a couple of shots I took. I added a 3D filter the images, I hope you can notice it!
