Eight Times One Face
I am a few weeks behind in keeping up with the Let’s Face It classes. This is fine, you buy the course, you have access to the classes for life, but it is nice to get the community feel of the class group. I’m going to jump back in with whatever class lands on Monday,…

Continuing practise
How is my practise and word of the year going? Well, it’s the start of February and I have managed to blog on a loosely weekly schedule.
