Final Chance to Join Our Unburdened Autumn Programme!


Hello Reader,

I am excited. We start our autumn Unburdened Programme this week! This is my final call. If you want to join our group, learning to live a free-er life through keeping an integrated journal, then …

I’m mindful that today is when many of us look at our week ahead, as we resume familiar patterns of commitments after holidays. And we might find it daunting.

Looking at your week, does it look too much? Do you believe you have no choice but to press on and press in?

You could be missing something vital. Our Programme is much more than to achieve some mere ‘work-life balance.’ Rather, Unburdened is a profound shift of habits that are more life-giving; a more integrated way of living; a far less burdensome way of walking through life.

AnywayReader, you already are powerful, even if you do not always feel like it. It is your choice. But do not let busyness and distraction make that choice for you.

Yours ever,

Changing the World through Living our Best Lives!

I am not sure how you found me here, but welcome anyway! I am a writer, coach, change leader, and Christian, helping you and others to live your fullest life, and to change the world in the process! If you are not interested in one of these things, that's OK...what I offer is not for you and you should close this page. However, I am interested in serving that small community of people who are interested in all these things. You are my world changers! If you know me and my work and want more, then please check out the resources I offer below and sign up for my newsletter! We can then begin a conversation where we can explore what my experience has taught me in leading change, both in organisations and in myself(!), in my faith journey with Christ, in my writing, and in my coaching. and how all this can benefit you.

Tony Blair speaking at the Blackpool in 1996 on Education

The Shire, Middle Earth, nr Oxford, UK Thursday, 8:14 am Hello Reader, I Apologise... My apologies if you received a similar-headed email yesterday. It was not spam; rather it was an internal conflict in my subscription mailing software: ConvertKit, now named simply 'Kit.' The team at Kit worked on this yesterday-- and thank you to them--and at least found the root cause. So, what follows is what I really meant to send you. (Annoyingly, parts of it are time-sensitive.) Machine Education takes...

Tony Blair speaking at the Labour Party Conference, Blackpool, 1996.

The Shire, about 5:40pm Hello Reader, Something happened at 1:30 am on Sunday, 4th August, that was of seismic significance to our family. Several of us are still in aftershock.

Within minutes a baby boy was born. As I write, our new grandson is doing very well. He...

Hormesis to heal a broken ankle quicker

There is a kind of stress that is healthy. Recently, my neighbour had an accident and broke his ankle. His wife rushed him to A&E, fully expecting him to be laid up in hospital for a few weeks, with his leg raised. Not a bit of it. He was discharged that night with a protective boot and counselled to exercise it moderately for the next few weeks. We remember that moderate stress strengthens our bones and muscles, and bed rest can be harmful in the long term. I came across this concept when...
