Sunday update

Here we go with Sunday. It's Mother's Day. We did Mother's Day with my Mam yesterday as we killed two birds with one stone by celebrating it in conjunction with my Dad's birthday which had been Friday. Clever you see! We're doing Mother's Day with Christine's Mam today.

Reflecting on the week and indeed the coming week makes me realise that the busy period I am having is coming to a close. After the next couple of weeks things become manageable and true to form I've started plotting picking things back up and developing new things. So the Live Guided Meditations are starting again and I'v got this idea to create a kind of Live mentor situation as part of my Patreon platform.

Tuesday last week was a boon. I was delivering my usual well-being, resilience, selfcare presentation to a group of students and I went for a different approach and it worked really well. Sometimes you need to mix it up for yourself to inject a little spark back into things - not that I don't enjoy talking about that stuff - I always do - but framing it differently made it feel fresh.

And then interestingly I had to deliver the same (or similar) session on line on Thursday so I went back to exactly how I use to deliver when I first started - and that was refreshing as well! Strange!

Friday saw me delivering a new course Critical Thinking for Decision Making and it went so so well. Better than I could ever have hoped for. It's always difficult delivering something for the first time - you never know how it's going to land but everybody engaged really well.

Listening to Public Service Broadcasting - Bright Magic (2021) - I was wondering how they could follow their particular style of previous albums and here it is!
