Setting a good example:

I'm constantly admonishing people to pat themselves on the back when they've done something to be proud of and that's my excuse for this.

After wrestling with my technophobia - a good affirmation? I don't think so! - I finally got the new Healing NLP website sorted, at last got all the right links on Healing Tao books web site, and corrected the Google links in their Googleprint list.
Exciting? well, for me, yes, all that painstaking laborious infinitely detailed stuff. I'm always telling people to embrace what they find most difficult and now I've done it myself, and just before setting off on the winter walkabout too, so my mind is at rest. This year its Wales instead of Hawaii: I've been invited to celebrate the midwinter festival feasting with friends. Then escape to the sun, beaching on Koh Pha Ngan.

My last Shiatsu evening at the Zen School was wonderful: I'd just finished all the computery stuff so was feeling very satisfied with myself - no, not smug! me? so joined Liz's evening class. Two new people enrolled which was a great combination of ending the old year and starting the new: a continuing.

I'm very excited about running the new NLP courses when I get back, in February. I'll be writing the manuals from a beach-hut infusing them with sunshine energy. It really is such a wonderful healing modality - I know most NLP trainers use it for business and suchlike but for me, its real and profound effect in working with people who need to make change in their lives had made the same impact on me as my first training with Mantak Chia. Thus my boundless enthusiasm.

My book Finding Spirit in Zen Shiatsu seems to be proving popular. I'm getting some lovely feedback. Thank you - it was a pleasure to write it. I'm just beginning another now, this one with Mantak Chia on Taoist Shamanism. We're going to do it as a series of four.

Busy year ahead then. And how happy am I to be able to say that: one year past offical retirement age (free tube travel and a pension, hooray) I still have a career, a business, and the best job in the world: helping people help themselves. Thank you, Universe!

Have a wonderful winter
