Track Santa!

Couldn't resist a mega-quick post about this: thanks to modern technology, NORAD now shows Santa tracking online - click here if you want to take a look!

Green Greetings!

Instead of sending Christmas cards to everyone this year, I sent eCards and bought a couple of acres of rainforest, as you do.  Last year I did the same, although just the one acre that time - I'm going to see if I can double it each year.  Last years acre was earmarked for the Fundacion Jocotoco Rainforest Project in Ecuador, and it only turned out that my lodger had been there whilst travelling around South America a few years ago, so I even got to see photos - how cool is that?!  This years donation will go to one of the World Land Trust's latest projects in Ecuador, Brazil or India.  One of these days, not too long from now, I plan to spend some time travelling around Central & South America myself, so hopefully I'll get to visit "my" acres, along with working as a volunteer on a conservation project somewhere along the line.

Serious stuff aside, click here for an alternative "Green" greeting *grin*

Have a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, a Cool Yule, or whatever you are celebrating even if it's just a break from work for a few days!

Forgive me...

...for I have sinned: it's been nearly 3 weeks since my last post!  And what a time it's been!  I've completed my latest training course and qualified as an NLP Master Practitioner, which I am extremely proud of.  The training was very intense and challenging and I learnt a huge amount from it, not least confirmation that I really am rather good at this stuff, even if I do say so myself.  I decided before the course that I would challenge myself even more by volunteering to be a team leader if the opportunity presented itself, and it did, which added beautifully to the pressure that I put myself under.  Even more to be learnt by me and my team, who are a lovely bunch of folk if a little exasperating at times *grin*.  We didn't win the team challenge, and they are all still winners in my heart - corny perhaps, and true all the same.

So what else have I been up to, other than 12 hour days of training...?
