I've been working in a school this week - without my phone. Just makng music. It has been magic. Two days to go before I'm transported back to my normal life.

Today I'm on Chicago and it decided to suddenly be the most pleasant day ever. People at the 'beach' on the lakefront and cyclists and walkers galore.

Only downside - not a frozen yogurt store in sight! I think those are a thing of the past here! (but I do love them!!)

I very much enjoyed all the silly April fools posts yesterday. KitKat gave us lovely fodder for funnies.

I'm on a podcast! It's all about YES and the psychology behind self-efficacy, metacognition, and goals.... living everyday life one foot in front of the next in a positive way. (and I wrote a book about it!)

It was recorded live and is unedited, for all 43 mins ! It makes a good listen.

Also, if anyone does look at the website you'll see I've given the book a new cover to relaunch it. I'm hoping this appeals to everyone instead of looking like a book about me.
