I had the pleasure of participating in another Liberated Lines<\/strong><\/a> this week.\u00a0 emerge was hosted by robin\u00a0e. sandomirsky<\/a><\/strong> and Alisha Sommer<\/a><\/strong> through Instagram<\/a><\/strong> and a private Facebook page.\u00a0 They bring a synchronicity of purpose, beautiful and thought provoking questions and a safe place.<\/p>\n

They make use of one of my favorite things, food for thought. While their gentle hand was guiding us along I realized I was decades beyond this group of soulful women.\u00a0 Decades in the literal sense.\u00a0 I realized that I had indeed emerged without realizing at what moment that might have occurred but it was long ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While I enjoyed the week immensely I was mindful and heart struck at the reminders from another decade being searched and soothed by the others.\u00a0 Decades I had long ago resolved and, yes emerged from, not unscathed but certainly the wiser. Their context was no longer my context.\u00a0 Where we converged was at the corner of I-know-like-I-know and I-don\u2019t-know-what-I-don\u2019t-know.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was grateful to get to know these women and thankful they were strong enough and open enough to find themselves immersed and on the verge of emerged, at whatever time that might happen for them.<\/p>\n

I embrace a beginners mind and my curiosity, also known as slinky syndrome<\/a><\/strong>, is never satisfied so I also found myself in a photography class\u2026\u2026shooting in manual. And again, I was reminded that I love photography but probably not in the way one would expect. Most of what I enjoy is the anonymity of being behind the camera and lurking around.\u00a0 Finding those out of the way spots and moments that the rest of the crowd might miss.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m seeing more of myself emerge than learning the fundamentals of photography this incredibly good instructor, Greg Georgi<\/a><\/strong> is teaching.\u00a0 His approach is very laid back and informative and he\u2019s all about shooting. Amen to that but\u2026<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s\u2019 what I\u2019ve learned:<\/p>\n
