Hey folks, I’m on a virtual retreat of unscheduling, or un-should-ing, so I took a break from publishing extracts from my “artist’s way companion”. Back later this week. In the meantime, here are some musings from earlier. 5 things for which I’m grateful Deep rest meditation retreats Snacks Stationery—now able to sort a bunch of […]

Weeknotes: What is liberating? Is it possible to be free?
Musing about freedom and freelancing, including curiosity, following joy and asking for help. Blessed by wisdom from many sources. What does it mean to be free? And is it possible? What does it mean to choose freedom when still socially oppressed? How can I be free? And reduce violence in this moment? And practise compassion […]
Weeknotes: Courage over fear and process over product
It’s playtime: Developing a growth mindset meets generative over productive. In other words, process over product and embracing courage. Creative rest and energy are my watchwords. In other words, it’s time to play! Things I learned the week ending 7th Feb Well, this whole entry is about stuff I’m learning this week… Maybe to summarise […]

Last couple of weeks I learned some helpful things about feelings. Specifically, that accepting my emotions makes it possible to release them. And that suppressing/avoiding them is what makes them stick around. It’s been interesting experiencing the truth of that as I practice letting myself feel the things I’m feeling, instead of running/hiding. There’s a […]

Learning to look after myself better So, I participated in training for Building Resilience and Finding Balance, by work’s internal learning & development team and Brooklyn Minds, respectively.

Rest, me too Last week I told folks to rest, and this week I’m like, oh, wait, and me as well. Struggling to rest and sleep A LOT lately. It’s infuriating, and distressing, and exhausting. To Ultimate Liberation & Freedom meditation Social justice I attended The Ethical Case for Basic Income in a Pandemic with […]

Hey fellow black folks, I love you. 💕💞💕 A call to rest. A call to action. Universal income. Social distancing. Trees. Rest. Please remember to rest. Listened to a talk by Lama Rod Owens from the retreat I was on last year. Really needed that. Been meaning to do that for a long time. Exactly […]

Writing ALL the things I got really behind with my weeknotes… Whoops! I’ve been writing other things instead: speculative short story about a world that values busyness over everything else, and the radicals resisting that; I find sci-fi so hard to write, not happy with this one (yet) but really glad I did it short […]
