Writing
There are so many different things I wanted to write about today. Yesterday I attended an 'office hours' session with the Center for Courage and Renewal where I am undertaking a 'circle of trust' facilitation program. I have to deliver a practice session in a few weeks time and I had done very...

Happy Sunday! I know for a lot of people this particular Sunday is a leisurely day off that will be spent with families and friends... for others it will be the 21st day of Ramadan and the fasting and everything that goes with that continues! I feel compelled to send an invitation for you to...

(Picture of skateboarding which I believe is both radical and humbling... Take a look at Aunty Skates!)
The word radical is everywhere these days... and whilst it is motivating and directional, I also find the concept of being 'radical' can be quite energy zapping. Let me explain...

This week marks the end of the first week of Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting where Muslims all over the world participate in what is a 'dry fast' from sunrise to sunset - yes this means 'not even water'! I had a very different attitude to it this time. I decided to be much clearer about my...

I start this email by knowing it might be a little late. Last week was the last class of my improvisation course for a while so today I was free on a Sunday afternoon and I went to see my mum. Problem is I accidentally left my laptop at home so am writing this after I got back!...

Something I haven't done for a while on a Sunday was to cycle on my stationary bike. As I did my class this morning Robin Arzon, my instructor said 'You woke up today. Might as well be a bad ass.'

How is it possible that seven days can be so long and so short at the same time? Sometimes even the weekend doesn't feel like the weekend, right? The third week of January felt like a catapult into 2024!
On Saturday I attended an event where the Mary Oliver quote was discussed:
