Hello and thanks for taking the time to read my Now page. It’s great to have you here!
If you’re wondering what this page is about, think of it as a way to learn a little about what I’m thinking, reading, doing, and sharing around the current time. The difference between a Now page and an About page is primarily time. Now is now whereas the About page is an introduction to who I am, what I work on, and why.
Expect the content below to change over time. And if you’re ever curious or want to chat, you can always get in touch with me via the contact form.
I’m currently going through a learning phase with my family. It’s a learning phase for them and for me. I’m not the parent of a teenager (yet)..but I sure feel like it at times. That said, I’ve been thinking and practising a lot on boundaries and routines. I learnt the skills of discipline at an early age so routine and sticking to a routine is not too hard for me. Communicating boundaries however, sometimes is a tough one. It’s something I continue to work on. I’ve realised though, that there’s a strong connection with listening and communicating boundaries. By being able to communicate boundaries in a way that the other person will really listen and really hear you saves so much time. It also builds stronger relationships.
I’m still reading these two books:
And I’ve just started listening to Ben Shewry’s Uses for Obsession.
Plus I’ve added a third listen - Dan Heath’s Reset.
I haven’t been to France in more than a decade. Lately though I’ve had a longing. A longing for the Paris I visited and utterly immersed myself in. Perhaps it’s the freezing sunny blue sky mornings that are in Melbourne lately which make me think of the morning I landed in Paris. It was 2 degrees celsius, no clouds in the sky, bright sunshine, and everyone was rugged up in coats, mittens, scarves, and hats. After arriving from the airport and dropping bags off near the hotel. I had an espresso at a cafe across the road from the Sorbonne Universite. Life was bustling, it felt like people were intentional with where they were going. It was marvellous.
I’m back into my morning runs. I love running before most of the city gets up. It’s dark, sometimes foggy, and there’s a special kind of quiet.
