The phrase “I’m looking forward to that” in this pandemic is one that we don’t hear very often. We can’t actually plan to do anything. In order to look forward to something, you need to be able to plan ahead for it.

I want to let you in on something. I don’t think that I would be alone in this declaration, nothing terribly new here, I would suggest, but here it is, I’m calling it, lately, I have been feeling kind of down.

Now, I reckon I’m a pretty positive person. I always try to always see the bright side and also taking time for mindfulness. I will admit it has been tough during 2020 and again this year. I think it comes down to the fact that in many ways, it feels like there’s nothing to look forward to.

ADDICTED TO TV LIKE ME?

This week, I took time out from what quite frankly, can at times be a very daunting schedule of work and family, running a small business in a COVID 19 environment and smack bang in the middle of the rose-pruning season. Not to mention feeling a little down at not being in the USA to attend my annual GardenComm International conference which was scheduled to be held in Colonial Williamsburg in VA.

I participated in the inaugural ‘Mindful Meanderings’ event held in Perth, Western Australia.

A new concept that is organized by Perth-based company Journeys of The Spirit, offering small groups of participants an opportunity to get out into the West Australian bush for a solid morning of walking and mindfulness coaching. One of the many benefits of COVID-19 has been the number of nimble thinking small businesses that have identified a need and altered their business plan, flipped the existing business model on its head, and adapted to the needs of their clients in a COVID safe way. This small business is a great example of that. https://www.journeysofthespirit.com.au/small-group-journeys/mindful-meanderings-australia
