I know I promised big things back in August that I would update the blog more regularly etc.etc. but I got too caught up in feeling sorry for myself... But now it's a new year and I've come back with a new attitude! So, I'm gonna use the blog to tell you some stuff that I'm doing this year around personal development.

I'm starting this year by re-reading The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. It's all about rediscovering your creative self and I think it's a great fit with Stretch & Play and all the creative work we do with children and young people.

I'm also reading a new book to me called the Wisdom of Yoga by Stephen Cope which "unlocks the teachings of the Yogasutra by showing them at work in the lives of a group of friends and fellow yoga students who are confronting the full modern catastrophe of careers, relationships, and dysfunctional family dynamics. Interweaving their daily dilemmas with insights from modern psychology, neuroscience, religion, and philosophy, he shows the astonishing relevance and practicality of this timeless psychology of awakening". (Amazon) I think this will give me great insight to my own yoga practice and I'll let you know if it has any relevance to Stretch & Play.

It's good to be back!
