Appreciation, Affirmation & Support
I’m thinking about how there are so many individuals and organisations that support me. Here are some of them.
Organisations: Coaching, teaching, etc.
- Conscious Growth Club – a year-long online coaching, community, and social support program by Steve Pavlina
- The School of Life – a global organisation devoted to teaching folks how to lead a more fulfilled life
- Writing classes & groups & workshops
Interests & hobbies
= Stuff I enjoy that I’m not monetizing.
I find it helpful to keep reminding myself of the interests and hobbies I have because I often forget! Also, stuff changes. Anyway, this is some of what I’ve been enjoying lately:
- Drawing
- Painting
- Fanfiction
Climate solutions
Writing
Returning to the Imaginarium with Sarah Hymas
On Saturday, 14 Aug, I was at The Writers’ Imaginarium workshop with Sarah Hymas at the Winchester Poetry Festival. I loved it, it really helped me build on some thinking from the Climate Fresk workshop I did with Sophia Cheng, of With Many Roots, on Thursday, 12 Aug.
Sarah sent a follow-up email this week, so I thought I would use my weeknotes to reflect and ponder whilst watching a documentary, because Fast Brain is in the driving seat right now.

Poetry
To Be Human Is To Sing Your Own Song by Mary Oliver, in ‘Blue Horses’ collection. Saw this on @hellowriteclub’s Insta. You can listen to it (about 0:02:45 in) or read the text.
It has rained overnight – not a lot,
John Kinsella – Third Ecologue of the Vegetable Garden – love the dialogue between garden and gardener there
but enough to touch below the surface layer,
tempt or taunt or soothe the subsoil.
