The week that was

Patience paid off and the car, gone for so long, was returned. Time to do a good job and make an impact deserves acknowledgement and appreciation.

In response to a very large and very real need a new world was created. In the beginning there was an amazing process, now there is an entire universe of possibilities.

Chaotic driving showed how external behaviour mirrored an internal state. Wanting a different outcome requires a different approach including building internal firewalls against pervasive negativity.

An unseasonably wet week led to a reflection that nothing nature does is personal. While the journey to the self can be rocky, coming back to the intelligence of our bodies can keep us in the flow.

A week of holidays but no vacation makes a hot bed for sniffles. Through tissues and mugginess we dive into colours on spirals and learn something that can help us connect with our audience better.

A late breakfast, a visit for a walk and a reminder of the value of choosing you and how it can positively impact your life.

A different Easter weekend, connecting, reflecting and swapping stories that matter made for a full and warm time and an opportunity to wonder about what a difference believing in ourselves would make.

Feedback, so important for growth and development, has tracks laid in our youth that say it is unpleasant and difficult. Doing it well is a gift that can be learnt.

Reading about ADD, its causes and how to address it leads to learning how impactful stress is on our wellbeing, that of our children and our relationships gives us an opportunity to make different choices.
