A Talk Shop

I have a million things running through my head.  A long list of to-do’s.  My hands are shaking, and I feel like I’m plunging into early-menopause with these hot flashes.  I’m nervous.  Like, whoa, nervous.  I haven’t been this nervous in a very long time.  My jaws are creating more fluid than I know what to do with, and I’m one ‘to-do’ away from vomiting.  I can’t catch my breath, and  my chest feels like it’s going to suffocate my airway.

Why did I do this?  Why did I set up A Talk Shop?  I didn’t need to do it.  I could have stayed quietly and securely tucked away in my safe little wedding photography bubble.  I could be blogging a beautiful wedding, or an engagement session right now… because, let’s face it… I’m really bad at blogging engagement sessions.  I could be setting up my office organizational software.  Let’s be real, I could be watching The Real Housewives right now.

**Oh, sidebar:  The Real Housewives of Melbourne?  I’m not a fan.**

But instead, I’m running around with my head cut off getting ready to host a workshop for a group of wonderful photographers.  Photographers who are expecting me to teach them something, nonetheless!

I have to remind myself that this is a step outside of my comfort zone.  A step that might take me on a different path, a better path.  Not that my path is bad.  My path is very very good, and I loooooove my path.  But I know that there’s more…
