Delivering Love

23 Jan Delivering Love

I have long wanted to shoot candy canes like this. I’ve been so inspired by the photos and sentiments shared by the participants in my recent classes…this idea of a candy cane heart came from that inspiration.

Having an intimate place to gather among like minded, like hearted women is what I love the most about my classes and the virtual classroom setting. But, more than a classroom, it feels like a virtual coffee shop. A place to share a warm cup of goodness. To talk about creativity. To share our thoughts. To express ourselves. I feel the same way about about Shutter Sisters. And this blog.

These connections move me, shape me, encourage and inform me. They are a vital part of my daily life. My routine. My rhythm. And they make my life rich. So so rich.

Today, I have been inspired to deliver love. To each of you who comes here to listen. And to share; your thoughts, ideas, photos, support and kindness.

I value all of these gathering places and each of you so deeply. Thank you for always delivering your love.

    Aw, shucks, Tracey. Thank you for having the vision to start the Picture Spring/summer/fall/holidays/winter! I have had so much fun and have learned what I can do with my camera. Practice really does make perfect and love that you reminded me of that fact. I have learned much by using my camera daily. Thanks for the inspiration.

    It is truly my pleasure to come here and read your thoughts and enjoy your pictures.

    Connecting is such a beautiful thing and I am so thankful to be a person mingling in this community.

    All the very best, Tracey.

    Tracey, your classes, your vision, your warmth, your words, your inspiration — your virtual coffee shops have become a part of my own vital daily routine too, and I am so grateful.

    Beautiful words spoken. It feels great to be part of such a loving community. (I haven't found such loving communities among women in Holland and was in awe by the feeling of homecoming in participating in Tracey's Picture Classes). Thank you so much for your warm and inspirational words. I feel grateful too. It is like I have found the sister I never had. (Sisters, with regard to my treasured classmates). Hope I, we, can be close following you on your beautiful path.

    Like the others I want to thank YOU for the daily inspiration I receive from Shutter Sisters and the Picture workshops…I love the format of each…very coffeeshop like indeed! I don't feel intimidated at either place and love to lounge in both. My family may think I spend way to much time at the coffee shop though:)

    Aw, I was just thinking about it the other day, how grateful I am to have found the Shutter Sisters community. And I have to say, I am really going to miss the Picture classes, after participating in all five 🙂 Thank you for your vision and community spirit!

    Such a lovely photo, Tracey. It makes me smile as the favors at our wedding were candy canes glued together in hearts. (Christmas wedding.)

    Loving your rhythm. And your love. Keep it up.

    Tracey, you "deliver love" everyday…through your morning prompts in class, your blog, shutter sisters, and so on. You are such an inspiration to me and to the many women I've come to know, through your classes. YOU…are love, so delivering it daily…it's your gift. 🙂

    And thank you Tracey for all the classes. I have been on board since Picture Spring and have loved every minute of it. My photography has definitely improved also. You and the whole group of students are so encouraging and supportive. This has been a wonderful experience.

    Thanks Tracey! There is so much about the classes I love, and the supportive atmosphere is high up there. Describing it as a coffee shop vibe is spot on…feels like we all know each other so well and are comfortable to just chat and share! We couldn't do it without you!
