We thought of calling this picture “Anchors Aweigh, My Buoys” but did not want to upset the US Navy. No doubt others can do better.
Here is a good place for a call to action.

One morning this week this was the image that greeted us as we arrived at the beach. How perfect
An almost straight line of foot prints leading down to the sea.
I was reminded that when I focus on following a simple system and do take the step by step process, success can follow quickly.
Often I find it a challenge to keep on that simple path?
What about you?

I stopped on my way home on Friday to take a photo of the clouds at sunset.
My focus had been on the beauty of the clouds and the various shades of grey and yellows.
It wasn’t until I downloaded the photo to the computer that I saw the beautiful reflections mirrored in the water.
There is often beauty around us that we do not notice at the time.- Suzie

This buoy, which is one of the markers for the shark net off Coolangatta Beach, was looking seriously unattached on the morning after a big storm.
Not sure what the moral of the story is, if anything.
We also thought “Buoy, unattached” would make a good caption.
Or “what’s a nice buoy like you doing on a beach like this?”
What caption would you give the poor buoy?

In business it’s easy to get distracted and then get into that feeling of overwhelm.
When we see this is happening we need to draw a line in the sand. On one side put all the things that dont’t matter. On the other side put all the things that do matter. Then take action on what does matter and propel you and your business forward.
How you decide where to draw a line in the sand?

A special local event each September for the past few years has been the Swell Sculpture Festival http://www.swellsculpture.com.au/ . Over ten days, as our southern hemisphere summer is in the wings, we join the throngs of people studying the sculptures all along the shorefront at beautiful Currumbin Beach.
This year, one sculpture which we both thought rather special was Richard Howie’s Wind Totems, made from oxidized recycled mild steel and recycled hardwood. The turning of the timber was absolutely masterful and the balancing of each work superb. The wooden vanes turned slowly, gracefully in the breeze.
We loved the harmony of place, materials, artistic vision and execution. Much simpler than some of the other works on display, illustrating the old expression “art that conceals art”.
It’s easy to find complexity, dissonance and stress in the world today. Works like Wind Totems can encourage us to take the knowledge and skills we have in our businesses and our lives and focus our creative and productive energies in the direction of elegant, harmonious, inspiring simplicity.
The other work that appealed to us and had a fun element was Creation’s Heart by Wendy Johnson & Katrina Kelsey.
