#1639: Reawakening a morning ritual

Last week was an odd week, that culminated in a walk to Big Oak Field with a flask of hot coffee and my recording this podcast for you. In it, I'm talking about a dear friend who died suddenly a week ago and how her death has brought up questions about how to enjoy our days within our limits (and led me to buy myself a stove-top espresso maker, which you'll hear bubbling away at the start of the podcast).Patrons can watch the Podcast Extra that accompanies this podcast, here.Throughout March and April I'm experimenting with what I post on Patreon.

#1633: Raggedy

I’m very sorry for being so quiet over the last few months.

They lead up to the the switch to my Patreon-only annual series, The Hibernation Podcast.This year, The Hibernation Podcast Is going to be publicly available over on my Patreon page, so even if you're not a patron you'll be able to listen should you wish to.Here's the first of the final four episodes of One Thing Today of the year:  I recorded this episode of One Thing Today back in late October when I had pretty much withdrawn from the world to spend some time in mourning.I was just beginning my second week of mourning and had had found myself feeling rather guiltily irritable and so decided to go for a walk to see if that would help shift my mood. After visiting The Big Oak, the walk turns into a rather pleasant mushroom-spotting clamber around the edges of The Caterpillar of Oaks… One Thing Today is brought to you with the kind support of its patrons.If you would like to support the ongoing recording of these podcasts then please visit my Patreon page, where you can find out how to receive podcast extras, twenty minute work sessions, vlog posts and even a personal podcast sent out just for you each month.Your support would be very much appreciated &lt;3SUPPORT: TIP JAR | PATREON﻿

One Thing Today provides a regular nudge to remind you to live gently and to take a small daily step with your creative work.

Whilst I do say hello at the beginning of this episode, this is mostly a non-verbal podcast. I've been particularly enjoying listening to the sounds of my hillside recently—standing at my gate or walking out into the field up to the Caterpillar of Oaks has been very calmingI wanted to try and capture some of that peace and calmness for you and so decided I'd try my hand at making you a soundwalk.

#1621: Finding myself on a Tiny Adventure

I read on one of the reviews that these podcasts are a gentle dose of inspiration and I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been a listener for about two (plus) years now. When I stumbled upon his website, I was looking for other creative types with low energy. Each day is a struggle, but I’ve been using Michael’s philosophy of doing one small thing to move my creative life on just a little each day and it’s worked. I love how he’s added a twenty-minute work session in the podcast. It’s like working alongside an encouraging friend.

Changed My Life

I found Michael Nobbs when I was dealing with the despair-filled depths of my chronic illness. Thanks to surgery, my illness is in remission, but I still listen every day to make sure that I am making forward motion, no matter how small, on my projects.

I love pausing the podcast and setting my timer to “work along with Michael.” He feels like a friend. 

Whether you have limited time or limited energy with which to work on your creative life, this podcast is an invaluable resource.

Like working alongside a friend.
