Too Much...

Too Much...

They say that when you bite off more than you can chew, to chew like crazy.

Well sometimes I find it gets stuck in your throat and it's hard to breathe.

This first quarter has been a time I don't think I'll forget quickly.


Building a house on a remote island, opening Global Teams in South Africa, walking 100kms for Oxfam, scrambling to pay some debt, writing a book, all while trying to support emotionally vulnerable teenagers who need time and love (and who don't appreciate my ordinary cooking skills).

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change things (well maybe a bit) but I had a hand in creating it all and I must be responsible for getting through.

Sometimes it just feels a tad heavy.

So if you can relate; if you ever feel this way, I see you.


Even if we know that this too shall pass, it's good to know there are people out there who get it.

To live a life less ordinary, sure you need to make some big calls, but you also do a LOT of mundane and hard stuff and just bloody keep going.


One foot in front of the other, every day…

Here's to every one of you out there who just keeps going.

Much love
