As an creator, as a women, as a business person.
My life’s journey has been about feeling worthy, self worth, being good enough.
There was a time I thought it was just me who felt this way so I read. I still love reading.
A lot of my life has been spent in search of being worthy. Gone to retreats, seminars and schools in the pursuit of becoming better, more, being ‘worthy.’
My photography career began at eighteen doing self portraits… my flaws could be hidden in an image. I see our world teaching kids to pretend who they are now with a false show of who they think the world accepts them in images.
Over the years my career had been to help people see themselves as worthy.
I have thought many times about teaching; portraiture, overcoming life’s challenging, picking oneself back up after disasters - personal or natural. Then I would wonder if I was successful enough to teach professional photographers about being more, was I worthy enough to try to do so. I have really not taught yet.
Completed six full decades of living. Now it is known that it is the voice, the one heard when looking in the mirror or even sometimes just upon waking up, that may sound like a parent or teacher or coach or sibling or significant other or ex or someone else from my past, yet is truly just my own. This is the one who has decided or questions if I am worthy. This form of verbal abusive came without anyone else ever involved.
Is this what an artist needs to learn about or talk about, what a business person may need to discuss, is this what women need to talk about, is this what lots of people could understand, is this the subject to write and talk about? How does ‘worthy’ affect us a women, creators, business owners?
Would you share your story with me? Would you tell me if this is an idea others would like to explore? Would you want to help one another with feeling ‘worthy’? Do you believe that feeling worthy would change your world, your finances, your relationships?
Would you be interested in a group of women help one another with self worth being ‘worthy’? Is so, email me susan@susanjroche.com
So write to tell me your story, your thoughts, is s this something other women would like to explore?
I would like to wake up and think I am just good to go all the time whatever my size, and value myself, my worth by my passion for creating, living and being every day. How about you?
