In this moment I am grateful for witnessing how much effort my Mum puts in to recovering from her stroke and that she has her partner Colin to support her on that journey. I’m also grateful to Kerry and my Dad for timely financial support that means I have enough cash for a little restock of my nourishing food supplies and the diesel to get myself back to Dartmoor.
The video above was recorded at the end of a support session I held for the lovely Kerry Lane earlier today. We wanted to create a free resource to support people to mitigate the stress of focusing on a screen for long periods of time. I certainly need that support at the moment and am already feeling significantly more settled. Part of the inspiration and intention for the video is to offer it as a gift to my fellow Rebel Business School online course participants, so I will be passing on the link to those lovely folk tomorrow to support them through the next week.
I will be back on the course tomorrow and will be getting myself ready to leave Berkshire by Thursday. I’ve received a lot of value and made good progress from engaging with the course. I will drop into future events for support and networking opportunities.
The dream to get myself to Hartlepool for the in-person course has been an interesting ride and I’ve ended up at the point where I’m ready to let go and give space for a new dream to emerge. If by some miracle of good fortune (I’ve had plenty of things happen to me that could be classed as such) I end up with the financial resources to get up there by Wednesday (my birthday) I may still go for it. Failing that I will be flowing on down to Glastonbury and then back to my home territory of South West Dartmoor to focus on fully launching The Lovely Fungus Company down there. I’ve done a lot of networking and have some very promising collaborations to follow up down in the South West. I’m also feeling a lot more resourced from my time here in Berkshire, despite the challenges. I look forward to reconnecting with people and places that I’ve been away from for what seems like a long time now. I’m looking forward to being with my old Yew tree friend in Tavistock, wandering the wilder places of Dartmoor and I hope to visit the ocean with some friends when I’ve got the cash for that trip.
Peace and Mush Love,
Chris Forest
