Thanks for this! I really needed to read this now as I prepare to fly to Copenhagen, which is a long haul flight for me … and I have a fear of flying! Yes … I said it … I’m scared. I have started reframing the whole situation starting with connection … I’ll have my wife with me. I’ll be in Copenhagen from 22 - 28 July for the pre conference and look forward to meeting you at some point.❤️

Hi Wendy

As part of my 2 minute pitch of my teaching tool at the Both/And Land preconference I have made a Yin/Yang Whirligig toy (See Facebook Messenger for a video and other info I sent to your Both And facebook page) as a metaphor for “leveraging tensions” (Hmm … now where have I heard that before?) . After making it I thought it would make a nice gift for some of the people I have connected with, to show my appreciation for organizing the preconference and accepting my teaching tool. THEN (as I’m want to do) the idea got bigger than Ben Hur and I made a card that went with the toy … and then … I made a couple using the colors from your book cover, one for you and one for Marianne Lewis. Originally I was wanting to surprise you with them at the conference but then I thought you might want to know about it before hand in case they were of use in any of your talks.
