Beautiful Things to do, because…
* Be kinder in what you dream for yourself, let there be space, peace, organic expansion.

How to live your own adventure story
Don’t wait until you feel up to it, you may never feel up to it. Begin now, adventure is calling you. You want adventure, but you don’t feel well enough to fly, dance or road-trip.

Ok, that’s not the whole truth, but it was a moment of revelation, the ‘it’s not just me’ experience. Connecting, community, solidarity and swelling, burgeoning joy. I really, really liked lists.
