At the heart of almost every film and book is the hero’s journey. This is the classic storyline in which the main character has to overcome various trials and tasks and then returns home transformed. Along the way, the hero is usually accompanied by friends. There will be a teacher or mentor to offer wise advice and an adversary who will challenge and push the hero to their limits.
Good morning! It’s a gloomy, windy Saturday here in Bristol, so I hope you are warm and possibly enjoying more sun than we do.
After a day of work in the allotment, I am back home watching the rain… on the one hand, I would like to be out there, digging away in the sun. On the other hand, I am happy that the bushes I moved to the allotment have a lot of rain to establish their roots without interruption. March can feel very confusing, so I am trying to be patient. When the sun comes out, I take my lunch to the garden. When the rain returns, I wrap up under my blankets or garden indoors instead.

Who we decide to spend our time with influences our personal, emotional, mental and spiritual development in significant ways.
Good Morning! It feels like it’s been a while. However, I was only away for two weeks. Last week, I was busy writing an extensive article on opportunities and challenges of cyberpsychology for social change, hence why I was quiet here. I am so attuned to Nature that it feels like I was away for two seasons. You see, we had our “day of snow” here in Bristol, so it feels like a lot happened in Nature in the last fourteen days.

When I’m feeling low, nothing works for me better than getting lost in the kitchen, preparing one of my childhood comfort foods. Back home, you could find these cheese buns basically in any grocery store. I remember having them in the park after school quite often. They bring back lots of warm fuzzy memories…
Wellbeing is a hot topic these days, as more and more people are becoming aware of its importance in our lives. Wellbeing is not just about physical health, but also about mental and emotional health. It is about having a sense of balance, security and contentment in life.
According to Fairphone, the Fairphone 4 does everything like every other phone, except ruining the planet – I decided to put that to the test.
