I committed myself to the [...]

How are we all doing? How has your week been? I've had a much better week. I have been much kinder to myself – more bubble baths, less inner beat-up. I've also had great fun creating my collage. I was suprised to see how strongly 'home' featured. And I think I'm going to be dying [...]

Everything from Buddhist Monks writing about happiness to Carl Honore (see post below) on the Slow Movement and why the recession is the perfect time to slow down. [...]

Excuse me…I'm running late this week. Perhaps because I've been attempting to slow down. I have been very inspired by the Slow Movement this week. This is a brilliant article written by founder of the Slow Movement Carl Honore. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/jul/24/ethicalliving.creditcrunch So, I've been very, very slow this week and I have given up running around [...]

Guest Blogger Tom Week 5, Recovering a sense of possibility.   I remember when I was in NYC a couple of years ago, we needed to exchange some greyhound tickets to ones with a more suitable time as our plans had changed.

I was so embroiled in my own resistance that I didn't discover the benefits? Who managed to go the full 7 days without reading – how did you find it?

How was week 4 for you? I certainly was hitting my resistance wall. "It's not working, It's not working, I hate this!" I was heard to cry. "I'm going to read if I want to, so there!" Tantrums? My inner three year old was in full cry, my inner artist was left quivering in the [...]

Officially, we are recovering a sense of integrity. I definitely feel things are happening if I can't quite articulate what….. I'm having a few dramatic swings – from [...]
