Hey hey ....... I am in Norway now.
Havard greeted me at Voss about one and a half hours out of Bergen.
It has been::
two cars
two planes
one train
one bus
and bingo - I am here about 12 hours after my morning alarm .....

No pictures yet but wondrous to see alternative scenery than the urban.
Here is a picture of Norwegians making love ........

........ thanx for clicking this way ........... really appreciate it.

Finished a seven day/seven weeks training course today. All about group work. Loveitloveit.
All about how groups exist and the forming storming norming and performing ......... and today the mourning for me ......

Not only groups important, after all we are usually born into one, they are vital in terms of how we function.
How many groups do you belong to?
I bet you can name a few which are important in your life? Social and in the work context ........ a team.

My training was experiential - what else!
It was not only theory and experiencing it - and reflecting on it - it was about how to learn about our own interactions and also intervention analysis.
It was most wondrous to see these humans developing and growing in confidence.
Everything I believed in - I poured into the experience.
The learning was massive
and others learned as well as me.
The University of Life ..........

I will miss them .......... character and personality
beautifulness
and
imperfection ............

6am - that is soon
I will be heading to Norway and I hope to click for you from there.

It is tempting to think that it will be like my week in Norway in February.
Or my week in Finland in October/November?
Every group, and individual, is unique - as is the context.
I will need to give as much attention to 'awareness' as much as I do to giving out.
I need to journey with it ........... and work for the wholeness

Does the wholeness of life seem so far away?
Unobtainable?
Yes it is unobtainable.
It is a journey not a destination
Life is along the way ............

............... I will breath in
breath out ...................



see you soon - and thanks again ..........

Remembering my Mother on Mothers Day ..... and this is a photo of her - special human she was .......

... and here we see the Sheilas and Joan at Joys today, having the first private view of the bedspread which had woven during her world travels and Joan pulling all the parts together whilst watching football at the Wilson mansions .....

We had a great lunch and family reunion with Peter being the Chef of the day - he always is the creative one when it comes to a Sunday lunch .. ...

Hope you had a time of specialness today ......

.... a peep into the corners of Wilson Mansions .....

..... Pipturesque .................. what a picture ...........

I have been prepping my Norwegian week today.
Pulling together my understanding of each days events - the contextual stuff like who will be there and numbers etc. A big one of course, is the objectives of each session.
I will be doing a few days in Bergen and a few in Voss.

It is ideal to prepare one gig and then deliver - rather than prep a whole week at one time. The reality is different. Tomorrow I will pack the games and DVD's and all I need.
Also enjoy Mothers Day hey hey ......

I trust I will be able to get online all next week and provide you with pipturesque views of the most attractive bits of Norway ..................
................. the beautiful humans of course.
I am not one for taking pictures of scenery - I like the concrete scenes best!
But I will be able to snap and discharge through to your screen - if you let me in close?

Some of my regular work ....... I cannot tell you about or share the pix.
Maybe in a book sometime in the future ......... please check my current stuff on www.lulu.com ............. some good stuff you can buy and more on www.incentiveplus.co.uk

March has been baby month::
Beki and Kester
Big John and Julie
Anna and Tim
Anita and Tomek
............................... I delight with them all ................... and I guess you may see some photos of them in the coming months and years as they grow up ........

'Why am I afraid to tell you who I am'
My favourite book - front cover
It continues on the back cover
'because if I tell you who I am, and you don't like who I am, that is all I have'
Get it?

I will tell you who I am right now::
I have felt failure this week
I have felt scared this week
I have felt drained this week
I have felt affirmed this week
I have felt good about humans relaxing with me this week
I have felt encouraged this week due to some beautiful human emails
I have felt deeply sad this week for a human disregarded
I have felt helpless this week when with a human in extreme depression
I have felt tearful this week when I saw a human opening up before my eyes like a flower to the sun ............
I feel positive, yearning, restless, trusting, nervy, ready, not ready, determined, passionate .....
......... and you?
Can you ?
Why are you afraid to tell who you are - if that is true ........

"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I...
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference".

"I am being beaten up - inside
I am being beaten up by myself and I can't control that interior violence
I am being beaten up by a bully living inside me
I am being beaten up and I carry that bully around all the time
I am being beaten up - and I am sore"
