Very thought provoking article from Seth Godin. Worth 3 min read. Every time TV and social media become significant time sinks in a household, pleasure goes up and happiness goes down. The solution is simple and difficult. We can turn it off. How many conversations get interrupted in a day or never even get started between the two people facing each other because of interruption from external media (TV, messaging, social media etc etc)? Often we don’t see what is right in front of us, because of the screen in-between…

Not just for hippies… I meditate. I don’t do it often enough. The more I do it, the better I am at being the best version of me. The article below explains this much better than I could. https://www.headspace.com/blog/2017/08/24/meditate-slalom/

Do something today that will help alleviate the things that give you the most anxiety. And live. Live like this is the only life you have, like this day will never be repeated, once gone, always gone. Love. As much as you can spare. Smile. Till your face hurts. Dance. Cause you can. — Brendan

Had a lovely moment of clarity that’s worth sharing. I am exactly where I want to be. I am doing exactly what I want to be doing. My next adventure is not some future goal or dream…it’s this moment, right here right now and every moment hereafter.

So today, officially, the registration of the plot went through. So step one…  done! WHOOHOO! It’s a big deal for me, a real sense of achievement. Something to anchor me here. To call home. I know there is a long way to go yet before I spend my first night under my own roof…but I’ll get there. And I’m keen to do it as soon as possible. So some sacrifices to be made over the next few months to try speed things up, but it’s going to be worth it…

Been some time since I posted some proper news . So thought I’d do a good catchup now that I have some time off, share news, some pics and the like. It’s a long one, be forewarned, but there some lovely pics and a lot going on so stick with it. Here a few sunrises from November to enjoy first up (click to enlarge the images). December’s. Love them. It’s my birthday, holidays and summer. But goodness, I been so busy. It’s the morning of the 21st today already and…

What a week. Usually when folks say this on a Friday they talking about the manic week they’ve had at work and how pleased they are the week is finished and they can relax on the weekend. I could say that too. It’s been incredibly busy this week with work. But it’s gone well and really it’s not what I meant when I said “what a week”. A couple of months ago things changed for me. Best way to describe it would be to imagine yourself nice and content having…

As the headline and image above suggests, I been on the beach a bit this week. It’s been incredibly busy with work (a good thing) but I’m so lucky that I seem to be finding a good balance of focusing on work and taking the time I need for myself too. It’s so important to make my life here sustainable. I need the work to pay my way and to work towards my goals, but without the balance I’d be unhappy, stressed and well probably quite grumpy. I don’t like…
