TODAY'S PHOTO
-
a young Sunday surfer on Delray Beach, Florida.
Sam and I did a not-quite sunrise visit to Delray Beach yesterday
morning. As I walked along the water's edge I stopped to observe,
and photograph, this boy. I usually think of surfers riding
the waves out in the ocean. It was interesting for me to observe
this boy "catching the water" to slide on, as it came
in to the shore.
I chose this particular photo to share with you (1) because
I know many of you appreciate ocean pictures and (2) I love
the action, thrust and anticipation of his body as he is running
forward. I also thought it was a great way to represent propelling
ourselves into this upcoming week.
I inserted the photo of his sliding on the return trip so that
you would have a visual of his surfing experience. I also really
like the shape his body took in that photo (lower right).
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
A few thoughts came up for me in pondering turning this photo
experience into one or more of our queries.
Food for thought - How many times have you been faced with a
big picture (large waves or stormy ocean) where you simply stood
still or withdrew?
In such situations, what would it be like to transfer our focus
looking for the smaller waves and the choices almost "under
our feet?" What fun might we have "sliding into"
our goals with them?
AUDIO TESTIMONIALS -
Check out the new 28
second message from Sondra, who shares how a custom photo/drawing
of her father, done by Sheila, provided a major breakthrough
for her in being able to get past her many years of grief at
his loss, so that she can now enjoy photos of him.

an audio for Sheila, she made it really easy for me. She called
me and set up a 3 way call so I could record how wonderful I
think her ezine is and her artwork. I am sure she will do the
same for you. And she didn't even mind the blooper I made about
her art site name. (LOL)."
