Considered Opinions – True or False?

A few weeks ago we talked about the concept of hope and its importance in building the future that we want to see. In today’s podcast we discuss the trap of false hope, and how it can end up on a path of despair and fear.

Join us as we unpack this idea and look at some strategies for avoiding the false hope trap and instead building a real and lasting hope.

Considered Opinions -Reclaiming the language

In George Orwell’s 1984 there is a conversation about how the invention and control of NewSpeak silences dissent as it removes the ability to express another opinion. In our world today we have witnessed the redefinition of many words and their subsequent loss from normal usage. Language and definitions are also central to the Overton window and the parameters of acceptable behaviour.

Join us as we discuss the redefinition of words, what words are currently at risk, and how we can reclaim our language and the narrative of our culture.

A typical weekend?

Saturday morning finish painting the decks

Saturday afternoon cut a tree stump down to ground level. It’s about about 40″in diameter, so I spent a bit of time on this, because our chainsaw can only handle up to 16″ diameter.

Sunday morning

Spray the remaining Agapanthus’s and other weeds, before the morning wind gets up and going.

Meanwhile, the neighbours stump grinding the roots of yesterday’s tree stump.

Sunday afternoon
Remove 3 trailer loads of new mulch from that tree stump, and put it around our tree’s.

Monday morning

Feeling tired, cant think why….
