The Inner Path of Photography

We yearn for the taste of the sacred…and through our cameras discover it, the world, and ourselves.

Making Time for Retreat: The “Good Person” Syndrome

“Martha’s Vineyard, Early Evening Windsurfer” copyright 2010 Heidi Straube

I just posted a new article on my Transformational Counseling website, “Making Time for Retreat: The “Good Person” Syndrome.”

Feeling creatively burnt out? Never have time to get to your passion?
See if you have some beliefs that are holding you back.
Find out how “good” you are…and if its time to be “bad” and take a break!

The article is published here…

I actually wrote it  a couple of years ago…but thought it was time to revisit it. With Labor Day weekend coming, we all might need reminding to honor and reward ourselves and others a bit for our labor.

For those who have time off this weekend….for those who are in jobs that require them to work this weekend…and for those who are unemployed, looking for work, and doing the hard job of keeping their faith and spirits up while doing so…I wish you all a time of personal rest, retreat, and nurturing, whether this weekend or soon in the future.  I honor you on this Labor Day.

Showing context…

Actually, I like this image too. It gives you the context of the previous image…this is what we came upon while walking down the street.

This woman was actually making bread in the window of the restaurant.

No need for signs…you got the message.

“Photo of the Day”

I’ve been meaning to add the “Photo a Day” piece to my website…but kept putting it off because I didn’t know if I could really keep up with posting one a day. But it’s there now!

You know, I’m great at  shooting lots of images in a day, but when it comes to downloading, categorizing, editing, and making sure they’re something that you want the whole world to see…it’s time consuming and also pushes my “perfectionist” edge.

So I decided to have more fun rather than feed Ms. Perfectionist, so you may need to just bear with me if  you don’t see an image every single day. Of course, what I do post will be perfect…uh hmm.

Enjoy what comes…I know I will!

In the meantime, feel free to check my website periodically (see “Photo of the Day”…or did you already figure that out?) or if you really want to be pampered, sign up on this blog for an email whenever I post something. Go ahead, be decadent!

P.S. The “photo of the day” today is of Robynn Sanders, Houston artist and art car master and muralist and….well, go to her fabulous website and see all that she can do! She just finished a Mini-Cooper art car…hey, go to this website and vote for her too! Hers is the first car, with the robots.

And there’s a parade in the Heights tomorrow…and White Linen Nights Saturday night…

I know, I bring you so many exciting things…
