Queen of positive self-motivation?

Posted by Freya on September 25, 2009

If you guys think I may be the “Queen of positive self-motivation”, I’d love you to check out a website of a woman who probably has an even stronger mental and physical attitude:

Karen Darke

I’ve met Karen already years ago on a symposium and instantly loved her attitude! We met again here and there, and stayed in occasionally e-mail contact. Only now I had time to check a bit deeper on her website and achievements. I can’t find words for what to say. THIS is mental and physical power! I’d be honored to adventure and speak with her together some times!

This is ATLAS  (aka Oscar C.)  in Husum…

he dared to join the fight of the Titans against the Olympian gods (and godesses…) – therefore Greek god Zeus damned him to carry the heaven on his shoulders for eternity…

what is heaven??

Thanks to the organizer Ed Zachowski from Qajaq USA for inviting me!
 
In between my work to prepare my x-mas shop with 5000 items and closing down my ice-cream shops (…ahhh, and between some trip-preparations for New Zealand, too…) I headed for a quick 3-days trip to Delmarva/ USA as a special guest to give a slide show and lecture about Greg’s and my Iceland circumnavigation this summer.

 

 

Kanumesse Nürnberg 2007

Kanumesse Nürnberg 2007
It was a great place to meet and to talk to plenty of kayaking buisiness people from all over the world!
It was a real international event, I had interesting talks to people from Britain, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, France, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Czech, South Africa, USA and for sure from Germany, too. Who knows where I’ll be going next year…
 
Who ever in the kayaking industry missed this event – it is growing every year! 2008 will be even topped again with number of exhibitors and probably visitors, too. It is one of the best kayaking market places in Europe.
 
Chris Reed, www.chillcheater.com, and his "model", in Reed buisiness-outfit :-)
Thanks, Reed!
 

Oscar Chalupski, epic kayaks co-owner, gives me a big hug and good luck for for my future adventures, for sure paddling again with a brand new epic wing blade.
