Old and new . . .
I really like the sound of Charlotte Japp’s CIRKEL initiative – see A young creative’s ambitious plan to stop workplace ageism. Thank you Charlotte.
Take five . . .
Sandra Wu suggests that if we want to feel more satisfied with life, we can read 5 books that will change our outlook for the better – see Reading These 5 Books Will Change Your Life. I’m intrigued.
More haste, less speed . . .
We were encouraged at work recently to “pack a waste-free lunch.” If honest, I don’t often take much of a lunch with me to work, so I quickly viewed the item, and then easily dismissed it. And then I had a rethink, so restored the email and the image, and found it to be rather… Read More More haste, less speed . . .
Stop, start . . .
Ever got up and made a big decision about the day ahead, only to realise later that the way ahead might not be as easy as you’d first thought?

Wise indeed . . .
On yesterday’s theme of giving permission, comes this very wise statement. If only we had 400 years to get there. Thank you to my lovely friends who thought this worthy of sharing … I agree.
Why oh why?

We had a great debate about why we can give others permission to do what they need to do, when we’re often less kind on… Read More Why oh why?
A thousand words . . .
My son sent me a very short video clip he’d made as he was a passenger in his work van, returning home after a long day. It wouldn’t have meant much to anyone except to him and to me.It was just the road ahead, but the song playing in the background was one we used… Read More A thousand words . . .
