Old and New, New Year signals changes and challenges

Happy New Year!
The Sun is shining once more, growing ever so slightly stronger every day. The wind howls. Gilly is as cute as ever, 9 months old this weekend! Rachel has recovered and like the Sun grows stronger. Love is all around.
So as we wake from the Winter Solstice and seasonal slumber … and the numerous storms we have had … I have to admit I have not been doing much on the internet. Certainly not with this site.
I discover the website isn’t working properly … but then I say to myself ‘Hey, there are worse things in life. Be grateful your health is good, Rachel and Gilly are home and safe once more … and the future looks brighter’.
So, yes we got to get this fixed.
In the mean time – some news:
We are off down to Edinburgh the 3rd week of January to meet with some very dynamic social enterprise people and lots of friends … Charlie, Mark, Joy, Ross, Jay, Neil, Sam … and calling in at Aviemore to meet more wonderful people.
I should point out that all though I have not made a song and dance about it, Five Senses is a social enterprise, promoting support for fragile rural communities and environments, using public transport only, teaching sustainable living skills and helping other people connect with their world.
I also hope to spend much of 2012 working with Development Trusts in Scotland … using my experience of operating and marketing hostels … and to do that I’m focusing on my strengths as in StrengthFinder: That says to follow my gut instinct and share my creative and original problem solving. I’ve done it before and I plan to do it again, this time for your business / community.
Now to go fix the blocked drains, feed the baby and sort out the website problem. The Christmas tree can wait.
