#naphopomo day 11: indrani, redux (and some exciting news!)

Remember Indrani? I got her film back yesterday, and man, was I happy with the results. Indrani is a joy to photograph. One of my favourite images of her is shown above. The other is now up on the Thrive Portrait Project page. Go take a look at her thoughts on thriving.

Speaking of the Thrive Portrait Project, some news: I'm officially, no-fooling, working on a new book, and its genesis is this project! I can't tell you how excited I am about this. I'll be looking for people who are thriving: folks who are starting second, joyful careers, or who are doing something athletic, or who are returning to school, or even who have rich spiritual and/or creative lives. I already have folks in mind, but I'm always open and interested in connecting with even more people who live out loud.

So, are you one of these people? Do you know someone who is? If so, I'd love to invite you to fill out the form at the bottom of this post -- I may contact you/them to be interviewed for the book in the coming months! (Also please feel free spread the word by sharing this post -- the more, the merrier!)

Finally, don't forget: my new ecourse Advent of Light is now open for registration, and it's sale priced until November 15th. It's sort of a nonreligious, audio/visual "advent calendar" -- daily audio prompts and image downloads, and a date with your journal for 24 straight days in December. It's a commitment to being kind to yourself during the hectic year-end. Join me.
