What happened this week?

I published many resources online for people to pick upon and disseminate. 

Our Quetzal Stories of Change event and the list of artists and organisations who will display at the event is on Quetzal Website. On Monday I will send the invitations to all and disseminate across the stratosphere. I also shared the results of our community discussion on what we can do to raise awareness in BAME communities about the trauma of childhood sexual abuse.
I had a great meeting with the team if Let's talk about sexual violence about creating a bigger impacts with their exhibition both in Leicester and Liverpool by paying to a pot of fundings and determining some key activities. Watch this space!
I had a great conversation with a funder about the questions to ask oneself when applying fundings. To give you a bit of a back story, I applied for some funding to tour the exhibition in Leicestershire. We received only part of the funding to support with our counselling activities.the main reasons were that sheer amount of applicants forcing the funders to ask themselves which activities offered by the applicants support the most vulnerable people. In our application, cousnelling was the activity supporting the most vulnerable whilst the exhibition was targeting the general public which may not be vulnerable as such. It was such a great feedback which will help me moving forward in developing better applications. 
Other things, I worked on at Quetzal is our upcoming litter picking event organised by one of our volunteer community connectors beginning of October. I am so looking forward to this. Especially as I am planning one event like it in Braunstone Frith. Let me know if you would like to be involved?

In the Leicester Fixers world, I am posting everyday on our page and engaging in conversation about Leicester Fixers development. One discussion is about how can we make Leicester Fixers more accessible to women and children? The other is if we were to write a book about repair to generate more funds -  who would be the main audience? I have to think more about that.

Other things are slowly developing in the background and I can't wait to share with you more when the time comes. We are with partners claiming more space to create change, we are taking that space and will expand. That is something to look out for!!

Looking forward to hearing how things on your side and how we can collaborate some more. All the best. Have a great weekend!

What did I learn from analysing my expenditure after a year

In the following blog post, I share the results of two analysis. The first one is an analysis of my spendings by categories after a year, the second is analysis of what I want to achieve by category. The analysis contribute to my main aim which is to achieve financial independence. I am currently trying to pay a debt - 12K for a student loan. To do the first analysis, I downloaded all the statements from my current account in an excel format. I assigned a category to each entry. What are the results? I  allocated 18% of my resources to my loan and the same amount to travel to France and have a couple of trip in the UK. I spent more money on conspicuous consumption than food. I did not have many outings that involved financial expenditure. What am I missing? I haven't got a good idea of what all the cash I have taken out was used for. A part of it must be to commute to work, then it is a mix of food shopping, outings, shopping and more outings. For the second analyy...

Scared to change - the opposite is true part 1 #relationships #opposite #truelove #fear

I fear losing relationships. For those reasons, I can be controlling, manipulating to keep them and/or I can also be deceiving and rejecting people so I do not have to go through the heartache of losing them. It makes me quite indecisive in the way I deal with others. Shall I play along or shall I not? The unfortunate thing is that I also act out of fear with parts of myself. I do not allow myself to evolve because I am scared of what will emerge, I am scared that the real me will create havoc in people lives and make it worse, I am scared of myself. So I choose deliberately to be small, insignificant, ugly, unreliable, poor, untrustworthy, lazy. I do love to be all those things. It is safer for everyone, Yet, weirdly enough, it also makes me unhappy that I am not meeting some of partners expectations. I am losing those relationships, I am closing doors to opportunities. Those who believe that I am so much more than what I chose to be. I create Havoc there. It appears that I am nev...

Emails only on Monday

My new experiment for productivity is to send emails only on the Monday to my collaborators. Today was my first day sending emails to everyone. What can I say, it was intense and at the same time so rewarding. I feel that my list of things to do for the week just reduced dramatically by just dealing with all my planned emails first. Now I can focus on reading, planning and more. The plans for the rest of the week is to read through email 1hour during the day to see if there is anything urgent.Otherwise, they'll be dealt with next week.  What about you? Have you got a productivity hack?
