October Favourites – Ivan Siladji

I literally felt I was just writing September's favourites post, yet here I am already penning my list of top picks for October. What the actual? Time is disproportionately passing by. October has been rapid fire. In all aspects. It was a mega month; I launched a brand new podcast called Journey to Wherever with … Continue reading October Favourites – Ivan Siladji

Humility.

Humility is so underrated. To be able to recognise when & where we should give opinion goes a long way to building rapport, showing your intent and adding value to the greater cause rather than our own self interests. Humility comes from experience but begins with self awareness. Ivan.

A week in review; week ending 27th Oct. 2019

I am currently testing out Live Transcribe to write a blog post. As you know, as a blogger it can be quite challenging sometimes to write content when you're always on the go. You've got work, family commitments, relationships, friends, and other hobbies and activities and it can be quite a challenge to set aside … Continue reading A week in review; week ending 27th Oct. 2019

A week in review; week ending 20th Oct. 2019

Hmm, where exactly do I start? It's already 2/3 of the way into the month and without hesitation I can literally say that it's blitzed by at what feels like lightning speed. I spent the better part of last week in the hospital with our youngest daughter whom was quite ill after she came down … Continue reading A week in review; week ending 20th Oct. 2019

Sharing your creativity with vulnerability

You and I both... we've started a new notebook or journal. Stumped. What's to go on the first page? It has to be perfect. No. In todays post I decided to share my own first page, imperfectly. And that felt about as good as perfect anyway. I figured that if I include the feeling of … Continue reading Sharing your creativity with vulnerability

How to find time to blog

It's a misconception that we find the time. It's also a misconception that we make the time. When something shows up that needs to be done, or, the moment you decide you want to do something, you don't find or make the time. It doesn't work that way. You and I both know how many … Continue reading How to find time to blog

Week ending 6th October – A week in review

I think we each have our own time of year where we come alive. Having recently went to twitter asking the question when are people "most effective", it would appear winter is the time to shine for a number of those in the community. The realisation has arrived, this is the time of year where … Continue reading Week ending 6th October – A week in review

A selfie stick, of sorts.

Take me back two years and I would have felt 'unfinished' had I have made my own rig for filming video. Today, well, that's a different story. I find joy in making something I know contributes to my creativity, because the process itself is creative. The project (most technical paragraph, I promise) I recently picked … Continue reading A selfie stick, of sorts.

Book Review: Show Your Work by Austin Kleon

I have about five or six favourite books so far, the kind of favourite that if I knew I was going to find myself in a post apocalyptic world, I'd want those books in my zombie pack. One such book that recently made it on that list is Show Your Work by Austin Kleon. I … Continue reading Book Review: Show Your Work by Austin Kleon

September Favourites – Ivan Siladji

I warmed right up in September. That means I enjoyed a lot of things too. Here's the deal-- We all know I hate summer, blah blah. But for some strange reason, reasons I'm also not willing to accept, as the sun gets closer and spring approaches, I come alive. It's totally counter intuitive to my … Continue reading September Favourites – Ivan Siladji
