January 19th 2026 A worthy reminder in all cases of change A worthy reminder in all cases of change My body has changed shape in the last year. I am not enjoying it. I have grown boobs I am not used to, and a tummy I loathe. I have also increased my strength through heavy lifting, which I like. Trying to figure out how to adapt things to work in a post menopausal world is not easy. Different everything. Different eating, exercise, and sleep patterns. The desire to stay strong, agile, fit and...

January 18th 2026 All truth is partial All truth is partial I was in a conversation with my partner, Tony, this morning about righteousness. I will define righteousness as an absolute. This is right. No other perspective, idea, opinion or worldview exists. It is, by definition, a closed mindset. It is the house of fundamentalism. And that is both the paradox and the performative contradiction. Righteousness squeezes out optionality, and zero optionality squeezes out humility. One cannot adopt...

January 17th 2026 Life Life Such a mysterious thread. From the wonder of an embryo, to the birth of a child, to the final breath. Unknowable. Infinitely gorgeous. Precious. It takes death or the threat of death to have us pause and appreciate the sweet and savage moments of life. To put aside our petty childish squabbles and perceived grievances. To live. Love. Amplified. As if each breath is precious. My father, after 92 years, took his final breath this morning. I do not know where ‘he,’...

January 16th 2026 Nudge Nudge Sometimes we need a nudge from someone who sees what we cannot. The possibility in front of us. The skills that we take for granted. The threshold crossing from safety and boredom to challenge and joy. The change that will allow us to bloom. Our little world, our little routine, our little stories, need cracking open. Ensure you have good nudgers in your life. People who dare to care enough to tell you the truth and hold you to your best. Photo Taken January...

January 15th 2026 Mystified Mystified I hear the talk about buying Greenland, the island. And I am frankly mystified by how this can even be a conversation, let alone one that is had at any level or accepted by a single person or entity. How would someone buy an island full of people? What about their rights, their ability to speak on the matter? But here we are. 2026. Still living in a colonial mindset that says “I want!” “I will take!” “People are irrelevant to my wants.” Chattel. Property....

January 14th 2026 The heart-work of images imprisoned The heart-work of images imprisoned “The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you.”― Rainer Maria Rilke I was listening to Rilke as I ran the curve of the ocean shore. I will never tire of the early morning, the sun in its constancy. For as long as there has been our Earth, she awakens us. Yet I also consider the heart-work of the images imprisoned inside. The daily sunrise forms fragments...

January 12th 2026 Top stories from the community Giving power to the people in enterprise There is a lot of talk about empowerment in business. To bring into the condition of power. Empowering people. Nice, better than nothing…but what if we shifted from empowerment to giving people power? If we removed the majority of hierarchy and operated businesses as a living organism? You know, like nature has done for a few billion years? Trust would have to be a foundational organisational value. Not...

January 11th 2026 The game of life is ours The game of life is ours “When life gets tough, some of us feel that we’ve lost the game and life has won. But life isn’t trying to defeat you. Life isn’t even a participant—the game is yours.” Mo Gawdat For many years, I lived in the story that it was me against the world. I was the cork equivalent in a giant ocean, at the beck and call of forces beyond my control. Life beat me. While we are at the beck and call of forces beyond our control, how we...
