a new life

its been too long between good news stories. So i am glad to be able to provide one.

i have been seeing andy for a few months now. he is a lovely gentle man who just couldn't fell any joy in life. At least a big part of his sadness came from how had spent his working life. he was a trained graphic artist and looked for beauty everywhere. over the years family commitments and and a sense of responsibility meant that he slipped professionally further away from art and close and close to corporate life. he was excellent in sales but it made him feel wrong. by the time i got him there was just no way he could return to a life of selling stuff or managing other people to sell stuff better.

so we have worked on Andy's new business as a photography. Depression says "don't bother andy, it wont work anyway," taking all the energy from the project. so a bit of a push in the right direction really helps. my energy takes over when andy's lags.

Last week Andy brought into the practice a beautiful display of his magnificent work. In less than a week he sold three gorgeous photgraphs, two of them framed. what a wonderful start to a life more real! he is planning a trip to nepal to take photos and watch the wonder of the world. It is a beautiful thing when it works! now that is why i do my job.
