    #1641: Moving extra slowly and sharing a Tiny Adventure from the past
    Apr 24 2023
    Episodes of OTT are rather spaced out at the moment and I'm feeling rather the same! In this episode of the podcast I'm heading out to see the chickens and talking a little about how I'm finding myself moving at an even slower pace than usual and leaning for support of my past work. I then play you a previous unheard episode of The Tiny Adventure Podcast that I shared over on Patreon last week. Wishing you the best week possible. If you'd like to explore the idea of Tiny Adventures a little more, visit The Go Gently Library where, towards the bottom of the page, you'll find a downloadable TA checklist and a short podcast explaining more about what I think Tiny Adventures are and how to embark on one yourself. Happy Tiny Adventuring! https://www.gogently.co/library Throughout March and April I'm experimenting with what I post on Patreon. Join at any level to follow my experiment and to see if it's the right place for you. You’ll find plenty of gentle encouragement there to help you live and create at the pace that's right for you: https://www.patreon.com/gogently

    #1640: Trusting that the right time will come
    Apr 8 2023
    In this episode of One Thing Today, I'm discussing having the patience to wait for the right time to do something and how this can be easier at sometimes than others... Today, I'm enjoying finally feeling that the time is right to doing something (chocolate related!) that I first planned to do three months ago.

    #1639: Reawakening a morning ritual
    Mar 28 2023
    In this episode of OTT today I’m making some coffee in my new coffee pot and talking about how returning to this old habit feels like rediscovering a creative ritual and in so doing perhaps opening the door to some other abandoned habits… Why not use this podcast as nudge to take one small step with your creative life today? Set a timer for twenty minutes and doing a little work on your current creative project.

    #1638: Being in the moment
    Mar 21 2023
    Last week was an odd week, that culminated in a walk to Big Oak Field with a flask of hot coffee and my recording this podcast for you. In it, I'm talking about a dear friend who died suddenly a week ago and how her death has brought up questions about how to enjoy our days within our limits (and led me to buy myself a stove-top espresso maker, which you'll hear bubbling away at the start of the podcast).

    #1637: Unexpected snow and talking about an old dilemma
    Mar 14 2023
    I hope your week has got off to a good start. In this episode of the One Thing Today, I'm surprised by an early morning flurry of snow and talk a little about an age-old dilemma of mine—routines and planning versus trying to live in the flow and trusting that the next right step will present itself... If you're a patron (or would like to become one) you can watch the Podcast Extra that I mention in this episode, here: http://gogently.co/pe-213 Throughout March and April I'm experimenting with what I post on Patreon.

    #1636: The first OTT episode of 2023
    Mar 7 2023
    It's spring here in Wales. The rain is falling, the grass is looking very green and it time to start recording episodes of One Thing Today again after my winter break. In this first episode of the year, I'm experimenting with how it feels to walk up to see The Big Oak in my daytime pyjamas whilst talking about offline days and waxing lyrical about the beautiful and patient watchfulness of my favourite tree... It's lovely to be back. If you haven't listened to them, this winter's Patreon-only Hibernation podcasts (plus some extra winter goodies) are still available for free over on my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/gogently
