I'm bummed that I'm just now reading about this! Please have another workshop soon! :)
I would like to second/ third whatever number we are up to the notion for a second workshop! In WA would be amaaaaaaazing but a second one anywhere in Aus would be fantabulous!! :) .... you know you want to..... :)
I've only just found out about this...would have loved to come along. Any chance of another workshop in Australia...say in WA??
any chance of another workshop in Australia while you are in - Canberra or Melbourne ?
Any chance of doing another workshop while you are in Aus??? I am so sad it's sold out!
Darn it, you've sold out! Enjoy Oz, lots of beautiful scenery and people.
I am soooo jealous that I won't be in Australia when this is happening!!!! Ahhh.. how exciting for you both though! Congrats :)
That sounds like such a fantastic workshop!! Sadly, no tengo la gita to fly to Australia for it. =(
Hopefully you'll maybe do something similar in the USA soon!
Perfect for you two! Hope it's all you dreamed it can be!
I LOVE Christine!! What a great team with you three working together. I'm sure it'll be magical and beyond inspiring for all the attendees :) Congrats on another new, awesome undertaking!
you are both amazing, i am blessed to get the opportunity to be part of this amazing workshop.
I can't wait to see you both again. xxxx
aw *blushes* thanks for the very sweet, very beautiful words. i can't wait for you guys to come to canberra and see how gorgeous summer can be here! and i'm so looking forward to finally meeting you both in person next week! be prepared for some big big hugsies! :) xoxoxoxo PS australia is so incredibly lucky to have you!
thats pretty ridiculously amazing! Not a more perfect expression of you guys as a way to encourage and equip others. Cheers mates (is the feminine of mate matey?)
This is so awesome! It would be a DREAM come true to learn from you!
I just thought you should know that not only do I read this at least once a month now, I also share it on facebook to thousands of friends/'likers' on a regular basis, because it's one of the best things I've ever read. I am so thankful there are people like you out there with bigger voices than mine, promoting such positive points of views. Thank you.
thank you, I will be picking up your book reccomendation.
This is something I've been thinking about lately. Is there enough for everyone? Can everyone live the life they dream? And that negative feeling when others accomplish what I cannot and while I know it is counterproductive it is hard to quiet the negativity. thank you for the lovely thoughts and words, it reminds me of a much more loving and open perspective.
Great reminder Sarah! I just read this book in April after the Jesh workshop and I too found it inspiring and aspirational - LOVE IT. Hope you're having a great summer so far :)
Love living in the world of possibility and always believing my dreams will come true. Thanks!
Love to live in the world of possibility and always beilieving my dreams will come true. Thanks!
Sarah, you're beautiful in every way. Thank you for staying true to yourself. What a gift you are..
Thank you for this Sarah. You have the amazing ability to captivate and inspire people through images and words. What you guys do it beyond beautiful. It touches my heart and changes the way I view the world for the better and I can't thank you enough.
I wish more people would have that attitude of possibility... at least where I'm at :/
you sure get a lot of girls to run around in their underwear! ;) would love to see a list of book recs... just finished some linchpin. genius :)
Love this! Sometimes I tend to believe that there's more than enough for everyone but me. I know it's not truth or how God intended me to live- sometimes it's harder said than done but at least I move forward.
I love your insight!! I know a lot of people probably say this, but I just feel like such a kindred spirit with you! I love living with the attitude of possibility and I think that it rubs people the wrong way. I have felt like people just look at me weird, like, "you think you can do that?" "You don't have a degree in that, we all have the "right" degree and you think you can just start doing the same thing." All I have to say is when you are born to do something you need to do it, whether it is photography, design, teaching, communicating, being a mom, accounting, the news, construction, it doesn't matter. That's the fun!
Excellent thoughts, thanks for this post!! This is a great perspective. I can testify first hand that you practice what you preach.. My wife and I are just starting out with photography, and Sarah and Chris have been a HUGE help, generously taking the time to answer questions for us, asking nothing back from us, even though we've offered. Thanks to you both so much. Your art really is inspiring. We are huge fans!!
What a beautiful post to read. You said it so eloquently. You and Chris are beautiful expressions of something grand and I love being a witness to what you both bring to the world. Thanks for continuing to share the gift of yourselves with me.
Is that you in the pic? If so I love it and kudos to Chris for capturing it!
That was incredibly inspiring and insightful, Sarah. Thank you for that. I was in a design meeting this morning, shared this with a friend, and your post ended up getting read aloud to everyone. Not only does your art continue to challenge me, but your thoughts on life allow me to enjoy mine just that little bit more. Cheers.
I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to read this. As I am a photographer just getting my start in this business, I am often shunned or ignored when I reach out to other professionals in this business, looking for guidance and mentors. It has been incredibly discouraging, so to know that there are others out there that are willing to share their knowledge and experience gives me hope. I may have to get there on my own, but you have inspired me to be diligent in helping those that come behind me.
Well done, Sarah.
Lovely. It is often trying when surrounded by so many people that are of the scarcity mindset, but it is the possibility people that make the world wonderful. Keep exploring the possible friend. :)
And that attitude is one of the many reasons you are so successful!
Cheers.
Oh Sarah, this could not have been more timely. Thank you so much for this... :)
So well said! LOVE it!!! I'll definitely be checking out that book.
Long time lurker.... Very eloquently put. I've been reading your words for a while now and you always seem to know just how to say them to give me hope. Thank you.
That is correct! The Universe says there is ENOUGH of EVERYTHING for everyone! Share!
Beautiful Photo!
Such a great reminder for my morning. Plus, I just love the picture!

Thanks for the inspiration and affirmation Sarah. I've quickly become a fan of your work from a photographer friend of mines, Elton Anderson. We seem to have this same conversation every 3 months or so when we both become overwhelmed.
you are so inspiring! So many of your posts have gotten me up and out and behind my camera
Very well said. I'm taking note of this post for sure. It's a great reminder for those of us who are hard workers...to be soft on ourselves and just slow down for long enough to see what we have accomplished. Thank you so much for slowing down yourself long enough to put yourself out there in a way that serves others!!! You and Chris are doing wonderful work and you both inspire me.
lovely message sarah! and i adore the last image. the simple composition and use of negative space just keeps me staring at it. hope you have a wonderful week!
Thanks for this, Sarah. Good reminder and, as always, great images. You continuously inspire me!
Hey Sarah and Chris,
I wholeheartedly agree.

Beautiful post!!! :) So inspiring as usual!
you ARE changing the world
I wrote about Seth Godin and being an artist today TOO. Ahh, great minds...LOL.
Very well said, and such a great desire to have. Thanks for sharing.
i like the way you think. and i like when you share with us what you're thinking:) thank you!
I love that definition of art too. Wonderful things to think about, thanks Sarah!
