I shared an image from Kobi Yamada’s book, ‘Maybe’ this morning. It considers the potential of an individual and explores the possibilities this may offer. This has been on my mind for so many reasons recently, on a personal scale and in light of the impact of ‘ individuals on a global scale right now….
When offered a box of chocolates and invited to choose one, so many thoughts and sensations may govern your eventual choice. You may need to look at the selection description, you may be considering how you feel, your favourites, or one may catch your eye. Or you may refuse one. Right now, you may be…
I started to write about transformation being the starting point for Boundless Learning, then scribbled that out, because I realised I’d always been Boundless Learning -it’s just now that i am ready to share it widely, and my own horizons are expanding.

Last week, I led a session where I asked, ‘What has inspired you this week?” This was at the start of a journey of discovery with an amazing group of people and their comments were inspirational nuggets of hopes in story form.
