Gratitude and goodbyes
This week has been heavy. We all have those once in a while. I left a role where I was working with some awesome souls, it's the right move yet still it's heart wrenching to leave them behind.

Distractions such as email notifications or the telephone ringing are common examples, but quiet distractions are when people are tapping away on their mobile, or keyboard while they are purporting to be ‘present.’ Irritating and disrespectful but we tolerate that sort of behaviour because that is the ‘norm.’ It is not the norm; it
The shape of hope
The shape of #hope comes in many forms. When we feel frustrated or hopeless because something we want or had hoped for did not come to fruition then it might help to #reflect and step back for some #perspective. Let me share a story.
