The world still turns...

Didn't we have a lovely time at last Saturday's mini retreat! A great space (finally!), delicious snacks and fabulous people - thank you all for coming. Looking forward to the next one on 12th March.

​I'm taking some time off at the end of the week for a few days and, as ever, am starting to get a bit jittery. What will happen to the various projects that I'm running? What if people have to wait for a few days for me to get back to them? Will people turn up to my classes when I'm not there? Will they come back next week again?

​Hold the phone! It's not like I'm running MI5 and the nation's security depends on my being here all the time. I need to remind myself that things will be fine - and that the world still turns, even if I'm not doing my usual stuff. I've been talking to friends and colleagues about this and we all realised that we are, in fact, quite dispensable: things generally run smoothly when we take some time off.

​So for everyone who comes to my classes and reads this blog, enjoy your week off next week. I'm sure your world will still turn despite my absence...!
