Walking to the library

So I walked to my local library this afternoon and came home with this haul: . Our Dying Planet by Peter F. Sale . Storms of My Grandchildren by James Hansen . The Carbon Code by Brett Favarro . Deep Economy by Bill McKibben . Atmosphere of Hope by Bill McKibben . Plastic Free by …

Climate change resources

I thought I'd share a few interesting things I've found (watched, read) as I educate myself about climate change and figure out how I can best contribute. 350.org: We have just 10 years left to turn things around for our climate and communities. The number 350 means climate safety: to preserve a liveable planet, scientists tell …

Periods

I bought a menstrual cup, because pads come with a bit of plastic - the packaging, the wrapping. The pad itself? Well so far, the cup’s not flash for me. The second day it leaked, and apparently that could be because it’s not sealed adequately (in my vaginal passage?) but by god it felt like …

Tipping Points

I am 43 years old. I started learning about climate change two months ago. I’m a little bit ashamed about that, but there’s no time to wallow or be embarrassed. Better late than never. There’ll be some climate talk on spacious + wild going forward 😘 Please watch this animation.  

Turning Points

I won a ticket to attend today's TEDxUWA, which was pretty cool - the winning a ticket part. Lacey Filipich, of Money School offered a free ticket and I won! That in itself was a sign really, as I've been skirting on the edges of  her message for a while and am slowly getting closer.  …

Synchronicity

On Saturday I finished reading Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion, which amongst other things is about the darkness that exists in California, and there's one particular essay (so many good ones) about Sacramento and it's peculiarities. I can't tell you what it's called, I've already returned the book to the library. The reason I …

Blessed

Police sirens and helicopters woke me last night, or rather they woke the puppy so I took her outside for wees and poos. I considered the possibility that someone might jump into our yard from next door, like on Good Friday, fleeing the cops, but reassured myself that this sounded more like a car chase. …

Transcendental Meditation

I saved a post from Gabby Bernstein on February 16th, about this book.  Looked good and I wanted to follow it up later. This week, as part of our Leadership Team (LT) check-in, we've been asked to commit to one wellness based 'thing' that we'll start on Sunday; we needed to put it in our …

Two words

Life. Changing.

It’s so funny, the way things turn out…

Late last year I decided I needed to join a gym.  I'd put on a few kilos (about six) since July when I started studying.  My diet was appalling - frozen pizza, nuggets, garlic bread, toast, lollies.  Goodness, I can't go on listing these foods.  My knuckle joints were hurting, my wrist was getting shooting …
