Did you know this book is also available on Bookshop.org ??
So, if you’re not an @ma$on fan, you can still order a copy. Which means supporting your local bookshop (and me too!)

Have you heard this one? Does it work for you?
With thanks to Dr Rachel Moseley for sharing her own experiences, and her bird analogy, with @seedtalks this week.
(I didn’t list in the video the many things that penguins can do, that sparrows struggle with, so we need to add that next time!)

Anyone else find starting the hardest part?
To help with that, I roped in two guys who are always happy to get cracking on a project.
The #vanbuild continues. And if you’ve got any tips for me, I’m all ears!

I love seeing people’s reading highlights, so here’s my list of 2024 reads. Highlights include @prentishemphill Barry Lopez and Olivia Laing.

I swore I would never dress my dog in silly Xmas costumes, then someone plonked this on his head the last day in the office and now I can’t part with it. Rolo looks unimpressed, but then this is also his default expression.
This is our tenth Christmas with #RoloTheRescueMutt and I’m forever grateful that he’s here. Xx xx

Hot water bottle tho… do you? This was my first time with one and it made me think I could probably stay in longer next time. 🔥

Not sure if you’d call any of these ‘essentials’ but they do make a cold dip a lot nicer.

If you want to help kids communicate from a place of joy and connection, then you want this book…

full of hopeful stories and appreciation for the uniqueness of each child.

Treat yourself (and a friend!) 🎁

(Yes you could buy the Kindle edition, but there’s nothing quite like holding a book in yours hands. Xx)

Have you shared your Wrapped? 👍👎

Did it feel just a tiny bit vulnerable? We judge ourselves first, and then fear it in others.
But good news is, we can practise staying out of judgement.
First step? - noticing when we do it!

It’s tempting to go it alone, but when we get extra help things feel so much better. It accelerates our progress, helps to keep us going and feel a little less stuck along the way.

For sure, reality tv may not reflect real life, but I am always on the lookout for positive communication reflected on TV.
Do you watch #MAFSUK ?? Or any other suggestions for my watchlist?

The weather in the therapy room can change as much as the ocean. Families bring so much with them. We can help them to allow for the reality of messy progress, adjust expectations and home in on what to practice.
Thanks to @eddiessurfacademy for the coaching, the clips, and the inspiration 🤟🏼
