I hope your holiday weekend was enjoyable and not too stressful! I had a fairly mellow weekend, with a bit of exercise, some work, lots of rest, and a few other very boring activities. Just the way I like it!

In this issue the focus is on images and what constitutes the best of many differing viewpoints. From black and white to compelling color to wonder to amazement to alternative, it's all here. So sit back and relax and I hope you even get a bit of inspiration from what you view. Is that the point?

The One-2-One Coaching series returns for the fall! I am once again offering the very popular coaching series, One-2-One to new students as well as former participants. My reasoning for offering the class to past students is that I know that after a while passes after a class, much of what you learned may be lost in the mist, so to speak. A refresher course, at a great price, is often the key you might need to get back in the groove.
