I’m back! Still playing catch up on 2 weeks away, but I thought I might ease back in with an SYW. I will tell you all about our trip shortly, but for now, let’s get into this week’s question from Mel. Are we losing the art of listening in comparison to simply hearing? Definitely, most people…

It’s SPRING! Well, here in the Southern hemisphere anyway. Spring is my second favourite season…I love the blooms and new growth, but it can be windy and rainy (hence why it is not my favourite). We have spent a bit of time hibernating this Winter, we have gone back to not doing much going out,…
