I’m so very happy you are here! Below you may listen to my welcome message while viewing a few of my photos and videos. From our annual family tradition to see the Boston Ballet and Symphony Orchestra to our arrival in New Zealand, these images are an introduction to my family and our New Zealand surroundings. In the future, family photos won’t come your way. Instead, along with sharing my thoughts and ideas around self-love, I’ll share landscapes, seascapes and some dreamy abstracts from New Zealand, USA and abroad.
I’m so thrilled to offer this membership that is NOT asking you to change, rather embrace the unique beauty that you are in this world. I am so grateful to have you with me as we journey towards fully embracing all that we are right in this very moment!
If you prefer, listen and read along with the recording below.
Hello everyone. I’m Mary Lynn Burke. Welcome to PhotoDreamTrip. Two years ago, I moved from Boston, Massachusetts to New Zealand with my husband and our two young daughters. Soon after we settled in, something profound began to change in my heart. Although I was living amongst complete strangers, with all of my friends and family oceans away, for the first time, I felt as if I belonged. This was not just due to the world-class Kiwi kindness, no. I found belonging through being alone. The time I spent in solitude with nature allowed my mind to drift and wander through thoughts that I had previously interrupted with my “to-do” lists, schedules and just basically getting in my own way.
