The Big Thing

For the last weeks I’ve been focused on other things and not been writing much. I say ‘other things’ but in reality it was just one thing.

A ‘big thing‘ nonetheless.

The ‘big thing‘ was the birth of my daughter, Sara Emma Peatey.

I’ve been overwhelmed by the welcome she’s received from those who know me through Facebook, Twitter etc.. So a huge ‘Thank You’ for that.

They say having children changes your life and, even though Sara is my third child and I was ready for that, things are definitely different around here! We are gradually getting back to ‘normal’ as we settle into sleeping, feeding and diapers. There’s not a whole lot else in these first days!

I’m going to be resuming regular service here in the next days, starting with some reflections on the birth – so look out for that!

Basically I just wanted to say I’m alive, well and enjoying watching the first days in the unfolding of new life.

Journey Of Life

I’d also like to take the opportunity to promote a workshop I’m running in the summer with some dear friends.

The workshop is deep in ‘vampire country’ in the Romanian mountains close to Dracula’s castle in Bran. If you’d like to find out more then we have a small website Journey Of Life.

It would be wonderful to have some of you join us there, and as an added bonus you would get to meet Sara!

What do you know about Romania?

Ok, it’s a strange question to ask.

I’ve been thinking all morning about how to link this post with the themes of nonviolence and self improvement and failed miserably to come up with any coherent explanation.

All I’m left with is the truth -- these videos were produced by a friend of mine and his colleagues. He asked me to spread them around because he’s (quite rightly) very pleased with the results. So Alin, if you’re reading, this is the best attempt I can make to reach a wide audience.

Of course, I do have a personal link with Romania as I live there half the time and it’s a country that is well worth a visit, and really should be on everyone’s list of ‘places to see before you die‘.

The country is one of warm and friendly people, outstanding natural beauty, unspoiled cities and basic rural life.

Apart from Bucharest. I’d give that a miss if I were you. Unless you happen to be into frenetic cities, cars everywhere and architecture best summed up as a mixture of a crazy dictator’s vision of the future and crumbling older buildings.

Journey of Life

If you happen to plan to come this September, then why not combine it with joining me on ‘Journey of Life‘ in the heart of the Romanian mountains? That way you get to see the country at it’s best, meet me and get a great 4 day self development retreat all at the same time.

What more could you ask for?
