One Thing Today

This morning I've been having a gentle potter in bed, working on setting up a notebook for my Fifty Days retreat.

If you've followed any of my retreats in the past, you'll know that a notebook has been central to them. This time I thought that maybe I could do without having a dedicated notebook, but a few days in I've realised that I was missing having one.

Before heading out to see the hens,  I talk a little about how a notebook can create a container of time to retreat into, which is very helpful when it not possible to physically go elsewhere for a retreat.

Sometimes we're not aware of the small steps we take in our days. It's good to notice and realised the significance of them when we can.

Yesterday, I unexpectedly found a small step that lead to some very slow bread making...

I'm podcasting from bed again today.

In this short episode of One Thing Today, I take a small step that involves repairing a corner of my website and talk a little about how it's felt to be back online and visiting social media after a long time away.

It’s the first day of my latest Fifty Days of… retreat and I’m taking a good friend’s wise words to heart and sneaking up of a small creative step and the recording of this podcast (and doing them both in bed!)

I wonder if you’re planning on joining me for your own Fifty Days of… retreat.

It’s been a long time since I’ve regularly recorded episodes of One Thing Today, but today I’m hoping to restart sending out regularly episodes again as I embark on a fifty day retreat which I’m calling Fifty Days of Small Steps.

In this episode, I’m talking about how I’ve found my way back to the podcast and working in small steps and how I’m hoping that my fifty day retreat will help me find a gentle rhythm with both.

It’s lovely to be back recording One Thing Today. Thank you for listening.

It’s been 138 days since I last recorded you an episode of One Thing Today and I really wanted to say hello to you before I begin my three-month long winter hibernation.

Join me on my rather blustery hillside for a slightly unusual episode of OTT in which I talk about my thoughts around the future of the podcast, how quiet my year has been and how much I’m looking forward to my hibernation this winter.

If you’d like to join me for my hibernation it would be lovely to have your company over on Patreon.

Throughout my hibernation I will be recording the third series of The Hibernation Podcast for patrons. The first two series of the podcast are available now, here.

Join me for a walk up my hill to visit the Big Oak and mark the moment of the summer solstice.

As you'll have noticed I've been taking a break from podcasting. That wasn't something I had a made a decision about, it just seems to have been happening.

In this episode of One Thing Today I talk about how I think that podcasting break is going to be continuing for the time being and how I hope creating a fifty-day container of time to retreat into will help me get a clearer idea of both the future of the podcast and my wider creative life.

If you'd like to join me in my fifty-day retreat (or just follow along), you can do so over on Patreon.

If you’re not currently a patron but are interested in finding out more about the retreat, I’ve made the introductory video publicly available until the end of July. Watch it here. Become a patron at any level to join the retreat.

Hello

Today marks ten years since I recorded the first episode of One Thing Today and I did want to pop in to say hello and record a little homage to that very first episode.

Join me together with my original timer and teapot for a five minute micropodcast.

Maybe today you can pick one small thing to do to move your creative life on a little. Or maybe today's a day for a rest :)

Thank you for being there <3

You can listen to the very first episode of One Thing Today here.

PS Episode #1602 has been recorded and I will post it in a few days, but I did want to publish this episode on the day of the anniversary even though it is out of order!

Today, you find me by my kitchen window watching Louise enjoying her first morning out of the coop since her operation and reflecting on how taking care of her has meant that my One Thing has been decided for me over recent days.

I hope however your energy is today that you can find something to appreciate and enjoy in your day <3

Not quite the 1600th episode of One Thing Today that I had planned for you, but maybe this gentle, scaled-back episode is an appropriate way to mark today’s milestone.

Join me for a walk halfway up my hillside to visit a crab apple tree…

Whether you’re a new listener or have been with me for a while (or even the very beginning!), thank you for your company.
