YanFamWay workshop - auckland NZ

ive gone over this and over this in my head so many times.........
what to write .... what to write.............
can i even put it into words.......... i dont even know ............... i dont think i knew what i was needing to get from a workshop..... until i had this tall , long haired , long legged american from another time, standing in front of me ...............

it had been a long time coming.......
i'd tried 2 seperate occasions to get to AUS workshops with Yan, ( diana ) .... and never made it ........... i'd talked to her on line about mentoring years ago .......... and never made it .................
so finally ........... she was jumping the ditch from AUS and including little old NZ in her grand tour............. and there was no way i was going to miss it .............................
and , well ........ im just so glad i did.............

see now.... i wouldnt have really known what i really wanted to gain when i booked this and organised it .............but deep down in my gut i knew it would be great .......... the great wall kind of great ..........

Yan has this effect ... we like to call the Yan effect ...... she is pretty much a drop in a very big ocean ....... but theres so much depth to that drop that the ripples she creates......... well ............ it doesnt stop......

all the stuff you know that you know ...... but saying it out loud and hearing someone else say it ......... the ripples start ................

in a time of social media where so much is fake and staged with a desire for perfection..........and every one comparing them selves to the next person............. i had a craving to push myself further creatively and keep pushing...to get the real and raw back.......and to bring the kindness back out in the open ... pure kindness...... and love ..... but wasnt sure i could ...... or should......... what was i afraid of?
creating ripples..................?

theres so much to process............. but slowly and surely im starting to feel like i know the direction to start walking ............. staying true to myself ............... i love people ........ i love kindness........... its time to get real ............................

im very excited for this shift............. a deeper approach .............
i genuinely fall in love with all my families................ and always hold back a bit for fear of not being the norm ........ but im no longer afraid............ to show the true me in my work ....... and show the true you .......... your unconditional love beyond words for each other and i'll do it with all my heart ......
im excited ............................. and scared to death............................................



in the meantime i will leave you with some snaps from the workshop and our gorgeous Sokolich family who modelled for us out at the beautiful Boutique Barn , near waiwera, in north auckland...........
