Day 57 Embracing the Wonders of Life – One Year On
A year ago, I began a journey called Embracing the Wonders of Life. It started in London, during the closing session of the Thoughtleader Development Training. What began as an assignment for the participants quickly became something more personal. I realised I had just as much to gain from reflecting on life’s wonders as those I was guiding.
Since then, I’ve shared many pictures and stories—snapshots of moments that moved me, inspired me, or simply made me pause. The response has been heartwarming. I’ve received so many kind messages, and even gentle nudges when I hadn’t posted in a while. It’s clear that we all crave a bit of optimism, a spark of inspiration, and reminders of the beauty that surrounds us.
Last week marked the closing session of the 2025 Thoughtleader Training. The new cohort brought fresh energy, insight, and a powerful reminder of why I started this series in the first place. Their openness to learn, to transform, and to truly connect was a wonder in itself. It reignited something in me—and reminded me that it had been too long since I last wrote.
So here it is: a new post, and a new picture. Not just of a place or a moment, but of a group of people coming together with purpose and passion. You all pulled it off. You inspired me. You reminded me that the wonders of life aren’t just found in nature or travel—they’re found in each other.
