Sue Jaye Johnson’s TED talk is less than 8 minutes. So often we hear about the dangers for children around sex, this is a different focus. I’m interested to hear if others found it as refreshing as I do.
Today has been a mismatch of wonderful things happening against a backdrop of bad news that sneaks in even when you don’t watch the news or read the paper. There are always those massive events that people need to process with others. Luckily this showed up in my inbox tonight from School of Life
On the weekend I listened to Brene Brown reading her new book, Braving the Wilderness. It was perfect for me right now. Read all her books and watch all the TED talks. It led to a lot of self reflection and recognition of ways I can do connection better, connection to myself first and then to others.
Today was great in real life. Lots of wins all round. Our crowdfunding campaign is going great. It’s important to us, not just for the funding to do a fun event (although that is pretty important), but to launch our Gippsland based crowdfunding platform. If we don’t fund our own projects it will be impossible to encourage others to ask. ReActivate Base has been set up to give all the people of Gippsland a place to appeal to other Gippslandians a pitching voice about their passion projects.
There’s a full moon on Friday and if it’s keeping you awake – read some posts about it. These are both enjoyable reflections.
Early Friday (4.41am) the moon is full in Australia.
I love feeling optimistic. It’s one of my favourite emotions. I want to make more effort to feel it.
