🇬🇧Restless, turbulent, tense, insecure are some of the moods we (can) deal with as human beings. At least I do. Like the wind as I was experiencing now, it went everywhere and nowhere. In 4 hours fluctuating from little, none, a lot, none etc. If I want to move forward I have to adjust to the wind. Sail out, in, out, on one side, then on the other, then both open, in again, etc but getting to destination I do even though it takes most of my time. When as a person I also feel so unstable, unsettled I actually deal with it the same way. I adapt, tell myself it's okay to feel this way even though it can be unpleasant at times but I always keep a positive mindset going forward because it's like wind that then turns making you move forward again. Never give up! Stay positive and 'go with the flow' ❤️ 🇳🇱Onrustig, woelig, gespannen, onzekerheid zijn enkele stemmeningen waar wij als mens te maken mee (kunnen) hebben. Ik wel althans. Net als de wind zoals ik nu meemaakte ging deze overal en nergens naar toe. In 4 uur tijd schommelend van weinig, geen, veel, geen etc. Wil ik vooruit komen dan moet ik mij aanpassen aan de wind. Zeil uit, in, uit, aan de ene kant, dan aan de andere kant, dan beide open, weer in, etc maar op bestemming komen dat doe ik ook al neemt het meest tijd. Wanneer ik mij als persoon ook zo onstabiel, onrustige voel dan ga ik daar eigenlijk hetzelfde mee om. Ik pas mij aan, zeg tegen mijzelf dat het oké is om zo te voelen ook al kan het wel eens niet fijn zijn maar ik blijf altijd positief vooruit kijken want het is net zoals wind die dan draait waardoor je weer vooruit komt. Nooit opgeven! Positief blijven en 'go with the flow'❤️

Max Oudendag took a few minutes last fall to talk about being a Kindred local. 10 years ago Max was pivotal in turning our board-building hobby into a livelihood. He gave us a boost at exactly the right moment by requesting our first ever paid commissioned build! He reinforced our hunch that people would be interested in buying custom or small-batch exceptional rides that reflect the rider - and double as beautiful artwork. For more than a decade Max has been underpinning the foundation of our community. He does this by investing time, energy and heart into sports, events and small business here on Vancouver Island. If there is something cool going on around here, you can bet Max is part of it. He is an expert at bringing people together through projects and to our humbled delight he includes Kindred at every opportunity. This year has seen in-person events cancelled. We’ve all been searching for ways to uplift each other and preserve our sense of interconnection. How many sidewalk conversations about gardening did you have with your neighbours this year? Have you taken up new outdoor sports hobbies? In the face of tough times people are turning to nature and many are satisfying a craving for carefully-crafted goods that facilitate a life well-lived. Choosing outdoor recreation and shopping with small businesses is an empowering way to strengthen our communities. Max made this realization long before the pandemic hit. His actions over the past decade have had a trailblazing and lasting effect that we see very clearly. Three cheers for Max! Give this guy a high five below or an elbow bump next time you see him. If there is a “Max” in your own community, keep your eyes on what they’re up to and show them some love.
