#1500: Celebrating with an ordinary day

There was a while last year that I didn't think I was going to get to episode 1500th of One Thing Today, but I'm delighted that I have. 

Thank you to all of you who tune in regularly and special thanks to those of you who are supporting me on Patreon and making it possible to record audio and video podcasts and to continue to explore living this gentle creative life of mine. Everyone’s presence is very much appreciated.

I'm celebrating today's milestone by having a very ordinary day (which feels beautifully appropriate).

Thank you <3

#1496: (Groggily) reciting a poem to Ounce

I've not had my morning tea and am a little groggy as I let the chickens out this morning, but as I'm up and the air is fresh I decide to take a walk to the end of the garden and recite the Mary Oliver poem I've been learning to Ounce...

The Go Gently Letter

Most months Occasionally, I send out a short email newsletter called The Go Gently Letter.

In the letter I share a little about my ongoing journey exploring ways to live and create gently. I hope the letter will encourage and inspire you to find ways ways to live and create at the pace that's right for you.
