Oh wow thanks for sharing that. An example of genuine "I'm there for you"... or maybe "I'm HERE for you".
I'm overdue sending a news update. I'll do that 😃
Best wishes for your evening 👋

Hi Paul thanks for this, resonates a lot... I can also get through another day, another week. But yeah something missing. I definitely notice in a changed relationship with my work/purpose, I feel a bit lost with that tbh. I try yo focus on what's closer to home- the kids. Best wishes 👋

YES this really resonates thank you for describing it. And I just don't hear this being acknowledged and talked about to an extent that matches the scale of the distress & damage. Feels to me like the ways fwd are going to come from communities & personal connections, &/but there's so much isolation

Hi Jen, ohh there's been so much loss & impact on peoples lives of covid & long covid. That's been massive hasn't it. I was meaning more generally though, how the whole world feels different, like core things we took for granted are all shaken up. Best wishes for your day 👋

Hi Sarah thanks for this. That resonates- it becomes part of us. I feel that, that I can carry on, & I'm privileged & lucky in so many ways, but I'm different now. Not that i feel different, i am different. It's not something a few days off, or some counselling are going to 'heal'. Best wishes 👋

Yeah this seems realistic to me too. So then maybe the challenge is to meaningfully bridge that gap, starting with acknowledging there IS a gap. Not because anyone's failing, but because there are different roles. How can we understand each other, listen to & respect each other's perspectives.. bw

Helena👋 thanks for this🐝
I sometimes think when people become execs they cross a threshold into a different world. And I used to have that view kind of critically, but I'm now thinking maybe it's inevitable that there are different priorities, focuses, language even. Everyones still doing their best

Oh this IS exciting, well I hope you get to say all that you want to & it goes your way. Commutes though 😬
I used to commute 50min Bristol to South Wales for nearly 10 years, I think I paid for a small part of the bloody bridge😆 good luck🤞

Hello thanks for this👋 I was thinking of politicians, what we see on the news etc. Everything is reduced to soundbites, so it's like you have a tiny amount of time to get a point across. Anyone who would genuinely listen would be portrayed as soft or criticised as 'not making their point clearly'...

Hello Kate🖐
thanks for saying hi. Yeah i really think there's some magic in meaningful small actions. The 'big picture' stuff is so elusive and overwhelming...
Hope you're doing ok, sending love
