I first blogged in March 2015. I was in India at the time, travelling, exploring my roots and thought it was a good time to start…
This is a space to share reflections, learn, ask questions, ponder a little perhaps, even to get lost, to propose thoughts, find connections and enable voices to be heard on all kinds of topics and situations that are relevant to my line(s) of work. The human spirit is full of wonderous facets and multilayers of being, it is important to me to mark this by the emotions or virtues that are attached to situations and moments that I hope to write about.
Currently I am in India – quite a lot of my next blogs will be of a travel theme! I arrived at Amritsar airport with my friend on 10th February 2015 with our pockets and suitcases full of travel gear for our three month Indian dream adventure – quite literally – we are putting into action weeks of planning with several NGOs and creative organisations as we share our learning and explore new ways for our own personal and professional development (whilst also sightseeing and visiting family, too!) It’s so exciting and a little nerve wracking visiting the ‘Motherland’; I last visited ten years ago. Deep within our minds we know there are personal tests and barriers we have and will face – but it’s alright – we have faith in us! We can do it and I can’t wait to make lots of new memories and share wonderful stories and moments with groups upon our return to Bradford, (home) and beyond!
…And that was the first and last that I had written! As you may get an idea from this image above, India is a place where a new moving image appears in front of you after every blink of an eye! There was so much apart from the blog that happened! Perhaps I will re-visit those drafts or write and share in retrospect…!
