Leader

When I looked up 'Stellar' in the dictionary

Today I'd like to share the beauty that can come out of an urge to create a connection, whatever form it might take.  

Recently I was inspired by a picture from a friend's road trip, it inspired me to challenge their 13 Year old daughter who had taken the picture to take a photograph that represents the word 'Stellar' and explain to me why.

I somehow knew that this was going to be a interesting experience for both of us, I just wasn't sure how. It turned out both her picture and her words were beautifully simple, inspiring and powerful at the same time. So next time you feel the urge to do something, go for it and see what magic you can create. 

These are her words and her photograph sits proudly at the top of this page. Well Done Amy! You are an inspiring, bright Star. 

 

'When I looked up stellar in the dictionary, one definition really stood out for me: stellar – like a star, as in brilliance. There are two other words for me, that are synonyms for stellar, which really sum up the image – outstanding and heavenly.  Stellar also refers to the stars. The stars have always been a source of amazement for me and every time I look at my picture I feel the same awe as when I look at the stars.

This photo was taken recently in Norway where we traveled as a family to the Arctic Circle in our all electric Tesla Model S. But I nearly didn’t get to take the photo. Before we had even left, I was fearful, thinking that we couldn’t drive to Norway in winter. But whilst those thoughts were still there I, and we, chose to go to Norway. Thanks to that choice and this photo (retweeted over 2000 times) we inspired people in England and native Norwegians to explore Norway in their Teslas. People in other countries were also inspired to go on road trips. So for me stellar also means being a leader and inspiring others.'  By Amy Gilmore.
