It is the end of the year and a good time to stop, smell the flowers, and reflect on all the good that was done...

We heard of the "Word of the Year" from Nicole Sauce @livingFreeInTennessee - and we will recommend you to think about it!

When we learn to observe the change in trends, we can also decide what to do what that information...

We chat very quickly about what this adopted holiday means to us :)

That morning coffee before work, a date night at the same restaurant, that walk with the puppy.. the routines and rituals that give "meaning" to our "contact points"...

We believe in abundance - in nature, in our options and choices, it gives us autonomy and joy.

How often do you look at something and think to yourself - surely someone has figured out a better way to do this or that...but surely...someone...has thought about it?

We talk about the process of graduation - and it may not be exactly what you would have imagined. It includes the discussion about questions on the homestead, questions about ethical and responsible living, and how to sometimes "Just do it".

How often do we mistake being BUSY with being EFFECTIVE. Surprise!! - it is not always the same thing!

A brilliant resource is the famous book by Peter Druke, "The Effective Executive"

We had joy, we had fun... And as seasons change from one to the other, we are also preparing for what each one brings.

A garden cannot only grow, and also in life we need some down-time for restoration and preparation. Listen to the end...a chicken might just come to say hi!
