Well, as I finally broke down and reached out to someone who doesn't know me from Adam but lives in my area about the possibility of being interested in mentoring someone in professional photography... the worst that can happen is she can say 'no." Or simply not respond. (That'd be unprofessional...)
All of my tarot cards since I started reading with the new deck have been saying 'reach out for your dreams' 'your goals are coming to fruition' and 'be brave and confident.' I'll tell you what, though. I am not feeling all that confident right now. In fact, I am as nervous as hell. I want into professional photography so badly that I ache. I know I can always reach out to another person, but.. I dunno. A 'no' from this person will drop my confidence level quite a bit.
Had lunch with an acquaintance yesterday. We had Japanese food, then came back to the house to visit. His son was killed in a motorcycle accident 2 weeks ago, so it was honestly a very emotional afternoon. We both cried a good bit, but he freely talked about his son, and he freely let himself cry, so... despite what happened, i believe he is on a healthy track in the recovery process.
Dreams come true to all.
