Learning to Paint – Croyde Bay

I’ve been away near Croyde for the weekend with a big group of friends. In between beers I had a go at trying to paint the landscape. This is a view towards the bayside painted on the beach. It was a blowy day and the picture, paints and other stuff kept flying around. It was almost impossible to mix colours on the plastic plate I’d brought with me (yup that kept flying away too), and I think I need to buy some….grassier greens.

There’s a lot I don’t like about this picture though some of the folks I was away with were very encouraging about it. I found it very difficult to capture something so….big, I’m hoping things will improve as I gain confidence.

Recognition

I often find a powerful way to express recognition is simply to give a sincere thank you.

Today What Goes Around starts a third year of trading.

I am humbled, motivated and thrilled by the quality of relationships we establish and share.

Thank you. Each and every one of you.

Especially Carole and Keira. Your tolerance, love and support is the bedrock from which everything springs. Such possibilities, such excitement.

Thank you.

Team Performance

This team is racing flat out.

Each rider following inches behind their team mate, no margin for error.

This high speed train functions beautifully as a result of honesty, practice, trust and attitude.

And the team delivers its performance by stopping the clock as the last rider crosses the line.

Not the first, the last.

When was the last time you helped someone over the line?
