You know when you tidy up when guests are expected?
Well - Wilson Mansions is in the worst state ever.
It is battle zone.
Pre packing zone.
Junk out zone.

We are still waiting a green, or red light.
We are on permanent Amber.
All the clearing has resulted in a slowly moving woman.
Joan is moving slow, hesitant, gentle.
All due to the loft visits
Home downsizing
outloading years of archives
And then the back went yesterday! ouch.
A little better as today proceeded.
So we cannot do it all continuously.
One bite at a time = eliphant sandwich
Still no home on the horizon.

Champagne::
So champagne is the answer.
We have a few bottle because
my birthday/Joan's/and the Juke Box rebirth.
So Champagne went in the fridge.
We also have a long lasting bottle of Kir!
So - in our friend Annabel's stylie,
I suggested a daily glass of Kir Royal
before our evening meal hey hey!
How's that for a cure for back pain?
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
My mind is always churning around communication.
Sometimes a group is formed without any preparation.
No by the person or support from staff.
It is great when a residential conference is called -
intensive, concentrated time supported by those back home.
Other times humans just turn up.
I am an alternative to boredom and I start to create a group and
facilitate an experience.

In many ways dealing with volunteers is best.
In schools they are pressed to attend.
I am an alternative to bunking off or
receiving school reprimands.

Whoever they are, I need to start where they are at.
That is the first challenge.
Then keeping the momentum of interest.
It is not only needs to be interesting but have a developmental objective.
So I always aim for an experience - experiential stuff.

Some humans will listen to me when I tell stories and talk with passion.
Also they will do things - activities with clay, paper, challenges etc but not
talk, share, discuss or reflect in any way.
THAT dear beautifuls is a challenge.

My mind churns and creates.
The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.
Often the churning creates many options.
Some are not used in the the current context but -
they can be just right for the next group.

I am just sharing stuff with you .....
and I wonder all the time who you are -
I never know it is you who is peeking into the blog.
I don't know what takes your emotional yearnings and
what you create - create out of pressure - create out of being a creator
after all - you are made in the image
of the ultimate creator.

In fact
you are beautiful ........................
