Pleased pleased pleased with meself!

So this year, I taught my first yoga class, learnt how to lead productivity workshops and now I can add, 'taught my first art workshop' to the roster.  Woo hoo!  I am really happy.

It was for an event called Big Sunday, organised by a friend of mine for the mothers of Brighton.

The day had 3 art workshops, creative writing, performance, pampering treatments , a trade fair and lunch.  I managed to attend the first workshop with a lovely lady called Crimbo (which does make me think of Christmas) who did mono printing,

And in the afternoon I lead a group of 8 willing ladies through a process of dreaming and wishing and manifesting, and creating beautiful little canvases, some of which were portraits,  and some were
Imbued with a little extra help from the goddess Yemaya.  Due to my computer breaking, I had to improvise a way to deal with the fact that most people would forget or not know to bring photos with them,  so instead of lugging computer, printer and scanner with me, which had been my initial idea - for which I even borrowed a MacBook from my lovely pal Shilpa (very giving I thought ).  Anyway, it was rather fortuitous, because with Shilpa, I had been discussing the idea of creating a goddes portrait.  So I discovered Yemaya, who it turns out is the patron of mothers everywhere ( very appropriate for the day, as it was for mums ) and she is the goddess of the seven seas, (very appropriate for a seaside town) she grants wishes (very apt for the nature of my workshop) and she is the embodiment of the female creative spirit.  Yes.  She rocks.  And so I think next time she will make an appearance without the need for photos and all. 

Ah, it was great.  And a big dream. For me.  

It's all been big big big,  and the thing is I need to keep it up.  It's easy to think, oh ok I have done it now, because it feels like a big hurdle over come. But it's on ly the first step.  All of these things are not something I intend to have done once.   I have to keep reaching outside of my comfort zone, and on to the next missions.   More yoga teaching, my own yoga business, art workshop business, and helping to grow and be part of People Who Do.  Onwards!!

PS.  Sorry for the crap typing and many typos,  I am using an iPad and it is just HARD not to.  I am very lazy and too hasty to go back and correct it all.  Sorry!!
