I have a shed in the garden with a typewriter in it & a normal clock alarm timer. It’s always a bit hard to make myself go out there but a few steps from the back door and I’m flying
I love all of this, Nancy! To launch 2024, I created a small space in my office - my “project desk” that is away from my computer (& phone) where I can journal, plan, dream. So far...it’s a nice space & even its presence in my home office space is a reminder to sit over there more often!
What an incredible gift you have given your students with this course! I love that you are sharing it with us. To really dig into a text and turn it into a practice is an amazing feat.
At dinner there are no devices and we eat at the table. The universe let me know this was the correct course of action because last week we tried to have a "snow day" dinner in front of the fireplace and tv and we all spilled things...including the cat!
I've opened my sketchbook for the first time this year. Thanks for inspiring me Nancy. I have 3 dogs who love their walks and everything goes much more smoothly when I am phone free. They're very sensitive to where my attention goes and like little kids (and my mate, at times) act out by tugging and pulling. Of course, I'm speaking metaphorically regarding my mate.
I love all of this, Nancy. I love the guiding questions for the course, and these first few practices you shared. I love this idea of not only practicing attention, but also caring for it. Makes me think about what our attention is and I’m really interested in your choice of the word “caring,” esp in light of your other writing about care work. Sometimes they want to care better for my attention but I’m too depleted to care for it anymore in a particular day or week....I also love your son’s artwork. That named so perfectly how depleted I felt last night after a long day of work and bedtime dramas
I’m going to try leaving my phone at home for the walk to and from daycare. It’s only 10 minutes but baby steps, right?

Looking forward to more updates with your course!
