Readjusting priorities - Week update

A good cold helps readjusting priorities. Your mind is such in a state of confusion that they are only few things that you can possibly hold onto to get some sense of grounding. Did I sleep this week more than ever and somewhat been more productive than ever. How just changing the way I deal with my emails.

My experiment dealing with all my emails on Monday is paying off. This week I was able to start writing an important piece of work that I have been postponing for ages and continuing some home transformation projects. I have way more time than ever before by choosing not to interrupt myself with emails during the week. I feel that I have more control over my work and this feels great. The extra time did make me feel at loss at some level and I am currently readjusting my priorities and bringing some new things in.

At Quetzal
I have been writing a funding application to tour Quetzal Stories of Change for people across Leicestershire to learn more about sexual violence. I will visit some of the venues next week which express interest for the exhjbition. I am well looking forward to that. I did some analysis of Quetzal last quarter, we increased by 11% the number of referrals and will be looking to apply to more funding. Finally I listened to 8 groups of teens presenting their project ideas for NCS, from sensory gardens, pencil cases to podcasts and story book, the group of young people had such great enthusiasm and focus wanting to do things well. It was truly enjoyable.

At Eugenie Bitty Arts
The whole team is creating more space for change, decluttering and clarifying priorities and intentions. We are getting there.

At Leicester Fixers
we went to woodgate computer this week for some data recovery, got some chair reupholstered and finally got a necklace fixed. Well pleased with this. We are also moving forward recovering some fundings to restart some activities. Hopefully soon we will be able to restart some activities.

This is my week update. Hope you had a good week too and planning a great weekend. I hope we will be able to connect again soon x

Blacklist

It may be time to create a blacklist of companies to avoid and definitely refuse to  work for: - Those which are more than 3 miles than my home - Those which does not allow me to work from home - Those which does not allow me to work fewer hours - Those which pollute with no sorry - Those with negative employee reviews - Those which do not design products that are repairable - Those which do not put the wellbeing of their staff first what else, add to the list

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/

"What does climate justice mean to you?"my response

  For   #biggreenweek   #climatejusticeconversation   "What does climate justice mean to you?" asked Climate Actio Leicester Leicestershire - Why not have a conversation with somebody? About Climate Justice and what it means for me. More often than not, when I discuss or read about what Climate Justice means: concerns about the impacts of climate change in developing countries, historical, colonial, racist and economic legacies and the need for retribution are mentioned. From this standpoint, Climate Justice is linked to international development and the human rights agenda. I can often feel powerless when the global perspective is promoted. What is it that I can truly do? So I ask myself: What is Climate Justice in the UK? What is Climate Justice for the communities I am most connected to? inc. Black British working-class communities as well as women, men and children who are dealing with the impacts of domestic and sexual violence Considering their existing vulnera...
