2021, week 12

Good morning, hope you're doing well!

I just came back from holiday. It felt good to have a week off and be able to reconnect with nature. I used to feel bad about taking time off with nothing planned out but it's great to learn to just slow down. Accept that I might not produce anything and follow what my body & mind really need.

This week, I have 3 highlights for you. My wife came back in the game and wrote two of them. Some fresh new ideas and perspectives!

As Megan Lane says : « If you don’t believe change is possible for you, you’ll remain a victim believing you are completely powerless ».

Enjoy this issue and see you next week. Take care!
