I have a #NewChapter of "The Cleansing" out now.
The confrontation with Shanvér's spiders still fresh in their minds, Shen, Vider and Veman trudge back to rejoin the others.
Their complementary skills give Shenzàn concerns about their mission.

"How you manage your disappointments defines whether you just heal, or whether you evolve!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Skiing has defined a large part of who I am and what I do.
And I've certainly documented my history with the sport here!
For over 25 years, the slopes have been my winter sanctuary. I’m usually the first one at the chairlift, chasing that perfect morning run and the "exuberance of the carve." It’s more than just a hobby; it’s a rhythm that connects me with friends and family, acting as the backdrop for some of my best memories.
The sport has even found its way into my professional life as a futurist. I’ve often written about the "Powder Principle." It's a story about a young engineer who turned down a high-paying job because it would mess with his skiing time, which became a great way to explain shifting generational values. I’ve also explored the link between high performance and business speed, drawing lessons from sharing the slopes with Olympian Larisa Yurkiw. Then there are numerous trends and innovation pieces I have written about the sport as a way of explaining the future and opportunity.
Skiing has always been a perfect metaphor for agility and looking ahead!
Of course, this past season didn't go as planned. As many of you know, a fall on the ice left me with a spinal injury that sidelined me for the entire winter. It was a tough break - literally- but I’m making this my final word on the matter.
Yesterday, during an early morning walk, I went over to the chairlift where I would usually start my day, at the sport where I would claim 'first chair.' It was tough to be there, but it was kind of a cathartic moment, and a big learning opportunity for me!
It reminded me that dwelling on the "what ifs" doesn't help anyone, and
frankly, I’m ready to move past the injury narrative and focus entirely on the recovery.
That brings me back to the idea of evolving. Instead of being bitter about the lost season, I’ve shifted my focus to what’s next. I’m trading the ski boots for golf clubs as I prepare for a tee time at St. Andrews in just 48 days, and I'm finding joy in new roles, like being a grandfather to Mason.
Managing disappointment isn't just about healing the damage; it's about pivoting to new opportunities with a positive mindset!

Six months of emotional abuse.
Isolation. Gaslighting. A police call. Being blamed for my own trauma.
Two months ago I wanted to prove something.
Now I realise there’s nothing to prove.
I’m overseas. I answer to nobody.
I write. I dance. I adapt. I build.
I’m not escaping.
I’m free.
