Here are some words about: Scientists. Learning. Writing. And some photos. Enjoy! I’m on a writing residency and it’s time for sleep before another packed day. Baa. Meeting scientists & discovering my own love of science Last week I randomly, and wonderfully, met a senior researcher at the Natural History Museum, who’s a marine biologist. […]

What do disciplined studying, learning more about burnout, creating my own routine and wellbeing in the woods have in common? They’re all things I did this week. Wellbeing in the woods I finished the week at Wild in the City festival, and then my friend’s house. Met so many awesome people. Delighted to hear about: […]

The week that started 5th August
Most of this week I was in Hamburg for the Liberating Structures European Learning Gathering (LSELG). It was pretty great. Before that I caught up with my friend in Texas, Nakia; and talked with David – the other co-organiser of Liberating Structures London – about the user group. My highlights of the gathering Collaboration! I […]

The more I think about my ‘fantasy’ job, the more it slips into reality. I actually think of it as an alternative life, rather than a daydream. And I’m actively incorporating mine into my actual life. Yay! (I’m not actually leaving tech, just learning different things.) Trees are part of my fantasy job, how about […]

Then, I definitely tried to cram too much in… But, I course corrected and finished the week with trees and friends. Lots […]
How I bullet journal: Bujo 2.0
I’m learning more about how to bullet journal with the official book and a TED talk by the author, Ryder Carroll. And checking out loads of other bullet journalling resources. I used to bullet journal consistently, and then I just stopped. I don’t remember why. When life was getting overwhelming, I started again this week. […]

How to say goodbye This week was the last week of my job. I’d been there for 3 years – the longest I’ve worked anywhere. I find it difficult to leave people, places, things. Yet, I did it. So many folks asked me about my plans, and I’ve struggled to create a compelling narrative because […]
The week that started 8th July
Experiment courageously is the phrase I chose recently to guide my last couple of weeks. And honestly, I forgot all about it almost immediately. But occasionally I’m reminded when I flip through the pages of my bullet journal. And it’s definitely been a theme in my decision making, guiding me when I’ve had big choices […]

Not written poetry in months, and this week I did. Thank you Dean! Having friends read my poetry aloud is utterly delicious. Image: The selfie that […]
