Footsteps Conversations

( Again, this audio is not a transcription of this writing but as a separate conversation to introduce this post) Another mini-blog post this week, as Easter events and family staying during this time have meant writing has been difficult. However, I wanted to get something down on digital paper, as writing is a promise […]

When you think of water how does it make you feel? The audio this week, I hoped would be a video but I am still learning how to place them here within a certain bandwidth. Sadly, it had to be converted to MP3 only and you can hear my little grandson in the background enjoying […]

I am inspired this week to write about movement in a different way, having read @BethKempton’s Soul Circle prompt this last week which I subscribe to and an article on Substack on the same subject. Ironically, to go deep into this word, I had to sit with it for a while and think about rhythm […]

( The audio is not a transcription but acts as an introduction to this blog post. and recorded at the weekend.) There are books written just about Habits, how to form good ones, and how to discard the bad, so this post can only touch the surface. Therefore, I see this as an introduction and […]

( The following audio is not a transcript but as an accompaniment to this blog post. It sets the scene and I hope you might listen to this first.) In her book ‘52 Ways to Walk’, the author Annabel Streets focuses in chapter 10 research which states that if you take a walk within one […]

  The audio is not a transcription and leads us into the subject of today. I would recommend listening to this first. It is less than two minutes long. ( This picture was taken while I was sitting for a few minutes in York Minster this last week) I returned from York last Sunday. There […]
