Small Steps, Incremental Changes, Tipping Point In Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point he looks behind the big changes to find they began with many small steps. Some by quite a few people who meet at a certain point to create something amazing. This year, with pandemic uncertainty, how can we possibly plan for the year? I decided to set big dreams aside, and focus on small steps that walk towards dreams. The dreams are big, but in reality they might not happen this year, but they will happen. In the meantime, I'll walk towards them. My word for this year is two "Small Steps". How's your goal setting going? Books I've read in January towards my 52 Books in 2022 Goal (I just need to work on which category they come under): Go Tell The Bees That I Am Gone - Diana Gabaldon (began in December, completed January) The Relaxed Author - Joanna Penn Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson Breath, The new Science Of A Lost Art - James Nestor Financial Freedom - Grant Sabatier Home Truths - Susan Lewis Educated - Tara Westover Educated also comes in under #7. It's going to take ages to do the 52 books in 2022 challenge if I keep repeating the same challenge. I have my listening speed set anywhere from 1.25x to 1.40x the normal speed. Yes, the books I read are audio. I listen when driving, doing housework, gardening and walking. My eyes aren't what they were and by the time I've written for two to three hours, they've done their dash on printed word. #amwriting #writersnetwork #christianauthors #christianauthor #christianwriter #nanowrimo #christianwomenwriter #authorsoninstagram #authorofinstagram #bookstagram #eidlewise #travelnzopenspaces #kiwigreynomads #greynomads #womenontheroad #romancereaders #christianromance #grief #52booksin2022 #the52book.club (at Waimate) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY12KervOIs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Two Days on Drip - Tail Up Again Thank you for your warm messages for healing for Benji. Yesterday he took off at haste after rabbits, tail streaming in his wake, and finally, he was back to his usual self. The spring bulbs have begin flowering in Hagley Park. Spring is coming. Today was short story Monday. I use the prompts from Reedsy that come weekly. Why don't you give it a go and let me know how you've got on? #amwriting #writersnetwork #christianauthors #christianauthor #christianwriter #nanowrimo #christianwomenwriter #authorsoninstagram #authorofinstagram #bookstagram #eidlewise #travelnzopenspaces #kiwigreynomads #greynomads #womenontheroad #romancereaders #christianromance #grief #sickdog (at Christchurch, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRxDvgsLZnr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Top right last night. The rest this evening, we are surrounded by smoke, but at one of the safe areas. Geevston (10kms south of us) is evacuated. We don't know what the story is with the fire to the north yet, but think it is smoke being blown. We are camping behind the fire services and campers are being updated. The wind keeps changing making the fire services job so tricky. (at Franklin, Tasmania, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtDNLuVFQtd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1y24fr7uyquoh

Visited the Murals in Sheffield today. So impressed with them it was hard to chose just one. The 2018 murals from the International mural competition are still up for voting. This Reflections mural was the 2016 winner. The quality of the murals is amazing as artists work on this craft. Its like an art gallery on a grand scale. Thank you Sheffield. This is such a vibrant, happening town. It was a pleasure to pause and enjoy. The other place in town that interested me was the Marble factory/shop. Yes marbles, but so much more.

The day began at a chilling 7 degrees Celsius this morning plus the wind chill factor! However, it has warmed up nicely and the walk around Dove Lake was stunning. (at Dove Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsPjGBJlm_7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h7nqib1n0t7b

A mini bridge series. This is the Richmond Bridge. The town was in full swing saving the Tassie Devil and preparing for Christmas. Artists and artisans abound here and we really enjoyed our visit and walk along the river. Many of the buildings and homes were built in the 1800s and have been well preserved.

On the way to the blowhole, Tasman Arch and Devils Kitchen we passed through a seaside town named Doo Town (True!). Most homes displayed a name with Doo in, like MuchaDoo, Dr Doo Little, Doo Little, Gunadoo, Still to Doo and an alternative Xanadu. A bit of a chuckle, co pilot calling out the names of the places. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrHX_y6lgri/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mbkuwkce9oor

The Tasman Arch at Eaglehawk neck was well worth the detour. It was super busy and this is just the start of the tourist season. (at Tasman Arch) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrHXHSolnfT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o887c17jiia4

St John the Baptist church in Buckland with tree carving outside and views of up to 400 yr old stain glass windows inside. Well worth the stop. (at Buckland, Tasmania, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrB6FdyFMap/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ske9meu3hd1p
