Made it to my HR work today. Lots of tying up of bits and pieces, handover arrangements and a few poignant conversations. It was difficult to stay focused. It had that feeling of moving house. When you've taken down pictures, packed away books and various nick nacks and you realise how echoey everything sounds when… Continue reading Office move
Today a quote from one of my sources of inspiration floated into my consciousness "Work is love made visible. And if you can't work with love, but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit and the gate of the temple and take alms of the people who work… Continue reading Love is calling
I've gotten used to a certain level of energy over the last month or so. It seems that gallstones have their benefits. Today, though, I was more tired than I'd like and as tomorrow is going to be a big day I convinced myself to rest. More often that not this is not how my… Continue reading Wisdom from a distance
The Love meditation continued to be felt throughout my day today with very warm and open-hearted connections in my interviews and managers engaging and exploring various options for their staff at a very human level. The sense of frustration and dissonance over the last few weeks appears to be shifting. I have mentioned before that… Continue reading Profiting from Love
I decided, or rather my gallbladder decided, to do shorter hours in the office from this week. I had planned to drop to two days per week but that does not appear practical. So yet again flow has found the right channel for me. I'm happy with the level of movement that I get with… Continue reading Fruitful non-thinking
Aquarian birthday part 2 - the social gathering of the season, well my limited season anyway. As I sit here chatting away to various people...oh you write a blog too? My blog is about...etc etc it dawned on me that I hadn't yet written mine. A first for me as its become part of my… Continue reading Blog? What blog?
The end of this enforced period of reflection is in sight. I feel thoroughly battered by whatever it was and it has physically weakened me...temporarily. I did, however, manage some work today. Work I am currently being paid for that is, unfortunately my other work will need to wait until tomorrow. It does feel good… Continue reading Late kick off
On this day last year I had an urge to write. At this stage I had no thoughts about a blog but after a long Christmas break I had an intense desire to put fingers to ipad screen and start writing. I just re-read it today and realised what it actually was. My dream starting… Continue reading 365 days ago
Last day of work for a while today. Resting and revelling ahead. As its Frigg's day it's time for a bit of poetry appreciation again. And another William Blake poem. This particular one has come up a number of times this week and is useful for both my HR work and also personal development, mainly… Continue reading Poetic observations
If ever I had an affirmation about following this journey where ever it may lead it was last night. Another work Christmas party for me and a chance to spend time connecting with colleagues and inevitably the question comes up from them about my plans for next year. Throughout my time exploring these unknown "unsciencey"… Continue reading Adverse reaction
