Hello!
There
are a few things in this life that we can truly be proud of, but I
can think of one thing in particular I would like to share
with you. I trained diligently in the art business, where I achieved
the status of Master Framer/Restoration, and progressed into
partnering with my tutor into one-of-a-kind art galleries around
Auckland. We created quite a stir in the industry where we continued
to break the rules as far as traditional marketing and promotion of
the artists we 'stabled'.
An exciting and creative business; however, it took a lot of hard
work.
The silliest
or craziest thing that I've ever done? Sailing has been
a passion in our family, as my father was a merchant seaman.
You could say his offspring have salt water flowing in their
veins. One of my earliest experiences of getting out on the
water was on a tall ship, the square rigged Spirit of
Adventure. Raining, pitch-black sky and 30 knot winds. I
volunteered to unfurl the sails 50 feet above the decks! And
being young and very afraid of heights I set off to conquer my
challenge. I made it without incident, but the inside of my
knees were black and blue from knocking together from sheer
fright. With that out of the way, I continued to spend the
next three days up in the crow's-nest, and encouraged others
to join me. I try to take all challenges by the
"horns," and dive into the deep end as often as
possible.
I
am lucky to have found two great partners to work with. Having
helpful online friends will greatly help you achieve your
goals. I hope you do your 'due diligence' as you wander the
internet highway. Its a wonderful medium, but in the end, its
still formatted with words.
