It is wonderful to find creations like this on the beach when we are walking. I wonder what world the children with their parents were talking about as they built this city and where are those pathways going?

As you build your business, just imagine.

Beach Notes: Don’t Wait for Perfect!

The state of Queensland, in which this picture was taken, has a tourism-attracting slogan describing it as “beautiful one day, perfect the next”.

Nice slogan, but there are cloudy days and even here at the world-famous Snapper Rocks break, sometime there are not many waves to speak of.

But these keen surfers were not put off by either the cloudy sky or the lack of big waves.

Are you waiting for cloudless skies and a perfect swell for your business to take off?

Every day is perfect for business.

In life some things are better in pairs like shoes, earrings, and gloves. Also “lifeguard on duty” red and yellow flags.

In Australia, the area between two of these flags is the safe area for swimming as it is patrolled by lifeguards. One flag alone does not show the safe “swim between the flags” area that the lifeguard sets each day at the beach.
Is there something in your life that needs a pair?

Beach Notes: Are You Creating and Seeing?

“5 White Shore Birds” by Adriaan Vanderlugt, 2009: beachside park, Rainbow Bay, Gold Coast, Australia – public sculpture courtesy of Gold Coast City Council.


This work reminds me every time I see it of what delight can be provided by a combination of creative imagination and skill with materials. When you look at the pieces in this composition up close, they are basically a set of bent and twisted square metal rods with a small flat metal piece bolted on at the tip of each. When you stand back and allow your imagination to take over, they are birds. Magic!

What magic are you creating, or seeing, today?.

Beach Notes: The Gathering

It is Swell Sculpture Festival time at Currumbin and as we drove down the street this sculpture stood out for me. When we viewed it close up we found it was the piece that had been acquired by the Gold Coast Council and will have a home somewhere on the coast in some public place.

I liked the name The Gathering and that the artist Col Henry started that he was exploring the ideal of community and it’s importance to a sense of well-being and connection. That’s one of the benefits we get on a daily basis from our participation in Social Media.
