During at networking event yesterday which took place at a gallery the host proposed the following activity: In small groups each member would think of an important question we were grappling with in our lives or businesses.

Thin Lines

There’s this pattern I’ve been noticing in more detail lately: when physical emotions are so similar but when explored carefully we find they represent neighbouring yet different feelings. At times they may be an amalgamation of different and even seemingly opposing feelings. I could venture into explaining from the literature and videos I’ve read on... Continue Reading →

Is there a way back?
