Inspiring Children

I just registered (both as myself and as CWiC Coordinator) on the government's 'Inspiring the Future' website.  They are appealing for professionals to go into schools and talk about their work.  Seems like a great opportunity to raise the profile of women in construction and show girls the full range of their career options.  If I get some contact maybe we can do something as a group and talk about how we work together.  Love it.

A longer break than normal - apologies.

A good holiday eventually brings self-reflection.  Often it is fleeting, a whiff of something as distant as your regular life is as you walk on the beach that you'll never walk on again.  Sometimes it doesn't form itself into anything recognisable until you are back and even then it can be crowded out by the mayhem of 'normality'. How ever intangible, it is usually enough to put a little perspective on the things you do.  It settles a moment into a period in your life.  It sharpens now and slows time a beat.  It is calming and refreshing.
People talk about doing something that scares you, about widening your comfort zone.  What are you avoiding in life?  What skills do you think you will just never have?  What happens when you draw with your left hand but write with your right?  What happens when you draw with both hands?  What do you hands express that words can't? What do you see when you look at another person's naked body?
For the journey, the reflection, the relaxation and the perspective, and cheaper than a holiday, try Life Drawing...
