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.
