Self Inflicted Situations

So, I had a moment, not the kind of moment to twirl my hair, lay back have a Snickers, although I did eat a Snickers earlier, a what am I doing moment.  What am I doing, freak out moment.  Kind like the one I had a couple of weeks when I hired Nick Weeks of http://www.snaplifestudios.com/ to film a interview of myself for the website.  I was perfectly fine all day, knew what I wanted to wear, had make-up nicely done and 30 minutes before Nick arrives I lost total control of what I wanted to say.  Funny I keep putting myself in these situations, self inflicted situations.  I don't sound to bad on my video, just did not say exactly what I wanted to .

So my fear is what if I do the same thing this weekend at the workshop. I've woke up out of my sleep in the middle of the night thinking white balance, srgb color space, ISO, shutter speed, apeture, focal length....etc..etc..etc.  Your grabbing your manual right now aren't you.  I was afraid that my information would not be enough for some reason. But this morning I wake up to a facebook comment from a long time friend of mine David. Let me copy and paste.....

" I strongly suggest that EVERYONE that reads this should sign up for Kristi's work shops . You will get a WHOLE LOT of VALUABLE knowledge that would take you YEARS to learn on your own.

The Quickest Way to Success and Wealth is to let someone who has already been there to show you the way ... And as you know Kristi is one of this Areas TOP PHOTOGRAPHERS !!!"

Needless to say this made me feel better, it calmed me because he is right, he reminded me that what I will be teaching, breaking it down and spilling every little secret I know. I will be talking about things that has taken me TEN years to figure out, learn and put to practice. Things that should roll off my tongue quite naturally.  Some things I'm covering I just figured out a few weeks ago.  So, ten years of what I have learned will be laid out on the table.  And the value of it priceless. I wish I had someone do this for me when I started out.  So, I will be fine, it's just not easy to speak in front of a crowd but, I will be surrounded by friends.  Note to self....your gonna be fine, just breath and let passion take over.  Happy Friday! Thanks David!
