Ah, Jonathan was right! This blog has the ability to just grow and grow in the sneakiest of ways! Like mushrooms! I mean it becomes like a juggling act between doing and writing. The doing comes more naturally and happens faster, leading the writing to lag and become a thing that happens more in the head than on the blog. Until one fine day you have a gigantic list of the writings that need to urgently be completed while the doings keep prodding you and saying, ‘hey focus on us, focus on us’. So, today will be the day of …

Experiment # 1: I capture the desert

Skype Session 1 Recap
Date: October 3rd 2017 A Skype chat with over 10 people. Sounds difficult doesn’t it? It was actually really very efficient!
