Me loving my computer at any point of the day:
 

 
 (love the replacement of ’speech bubbles / ‘thought bubbles’ with balloons )

I would like to invite you to watch "The Story of Stuff".
Have you ever wondered where all this stuff comes from…and where it goes when we throw it out?
Created by Annie Leonard (and a team…) The Story of Stuff details exactly that - how stuff travels through our system! And it presents extremely complex [...]

What does real change look like? 
I drew this up to amuse myself the other day while musing on real change at the same time as writing about organisational change processes for a client…and watching/dealing with the changes thrust upon people close to me …

I actually think I first ‘created’ the doodle while working in the [...]

I think I have been avoiding blogging (and you all) a bit…like a lot of my creative works…including storytelling… As such I would like to give you a present as thanks for your patience and readership: here are two beautiful art-pieces that have been passed on by the ever wonderful Alice Tang of think/feel that [...]

If you ask a child if they can draw they will likely say ‘yes’ and grin. They will also likely go draw you something and expect you to see what it is and [...]

I tried to write this post on movement and the space between thrice - and lost it each time.
Rather than try to again recreate my lengthy notes and thoughts I have decided to put some notes I had written elsewhere below and took this as an opportunity to first share the [...]

This being human is a guest house

Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest [...]

Crop of The Spinner by Billy Houdek, painting of a woman who talks too much while in the act of retelling a story. Source
The Hectare Lesson I recall years ago reading a scene in a book that has stayed with me since. I was about 11 and I think it was in one of Roald Dahl’s bio-works e.g. [...]
