Responsibility is the ability to respond to any situation —

This is a statement that someone said in response to a comment I made about responsibility in a 2 day (weekend) training I completed a couple of hours ago. The focus of the session was all about the land and how we find our place in relati...

It seems that conversations with my niece always provide rich material for The Space. Last Friday I saw her and she commented on my 'new' skirt. The skirt is a multi coloured skirt which is light and dark green, beige and black, pink and red... all in one. 'Your skirt makes me happy' she said, follo...

Towards the end of a long weekend I find myself reflecting on how I spend time, the moments of rest, and the opportunities for personal growth that we often overlook in our busy lives.

It's a chance to pause and consider how far we’ve come, not just in the days of this weekend, but in the chapters...

In the middle of last week I had a breakfast meeting for work near Tower Hill in London. Before I left I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and I was met by the most stunning interior. I took a photo above as inspo! 

Last week, some building work started on my house. As I've been saying to fri...

Last week I was completing a chapter for a book on impossible futures and I had to triple check a reference I put in as it didn't seem right. As ever, my mind wondered and I got distracted and found several other interesting quotes!

Earlier in the week I was in a meeting and someone mentioned the concept of 'shedding.' 

For various reasons this has been really important to me this week.

Ever thought about moving out of the comfort zone for something brand new, something that maybe even gives you a little shiver down your spine... something more adventurous?

Life throws curveballs, right?

We all dream big – that epic backpacking trip, finally learning to paint, starting that busin...

This morning I went running with

• Naveed from the BBC Scotland comedy series Still Game (actor Sanjeev Kohli one of the voices for BBC C25K). Still Game has been something I watched on and off for 20+ years and have passed to my children.
• William Morris (artist, poet social activist, and writer),

Get ready for a contradiction - I'm not the biggest fan of Tiktok and other social media, and at the same time I love how they can be a source of new knowledge or thought provoking short reminders. 

I got a real lesson this morning! 

As I was drinking my Sunday slow coffee in bed where I relish in...

Usually on a Saturday morning I have a leisurely coffee and then go and do my shopping. I know I can order online but there is something special about going to the shops, seeing people and families going about their weekends and simply being connected to the place I live in with a bit more depth. 

A few pictures of Essaouria... #7 is a Citroen 2CV, my first car! #5 is the kitchen of a small cafe we had the best couscous and chops in! 

Have you ever thought about the impact on you of the land you are situated on? 

A couple of things happened to me in the last 10 days that really made me ...
