Embracing Our Oddball Authenticity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

As I write this, a mere few days after taking the intentionally soft-focused image above, I realise that it sums up the slow-and-steady state of patience and exploration we are currently immersed in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no rush to decide what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no pressure to move forward or backward or in-between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a sense of deep relaxation and a reacquaintance with the Deborah and Mark that we were almost 26 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previous article\u200a\u2014\u200aA-Wandering We Go!<\/em><\/a>\u2014\u200awas the introduction to these changes. Until recently, very few people knew the behind the scenes ideas that we\u2019d been percolating in our artistic brains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our lives are good\u200a\u2014\u200aand we are grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll go back to assignment writing and editing at some point, but for now the personal writing and return to photographic pursuits are putting a smile on both of our faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as we decide where, when, and how we\u2019d like to live in the years ahead, we\u2019ll be documenting the journey and sharing it with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stick with us\u200a\u2014\u200ait\u2019s going to be an interesting adventure! And if you’d like to follow along, enter your email for updates on the form that appears once you CLICK on the line just below this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
