Jeanette, I really enjoyed this piece. You put a lot of thought into your work. I've been thinking a lot recently about finding my Voice and I think that has a lot in common with values. When I don't write or live in absolute accordance with my values my spirit suffers.

Hi John

I know what you mean. Voice and values seem very connected in our writing and life. And I think it's a sign of being sensitive to your values that you feel it when out of step with them. We so often pay lip service to our values without really prioritising them.

Glad to hear you got something from this piece!

'Joy and beauty' - love your native garden idea 💕

I love hanging out with family and friends and volunteering.

Thanks for reminding us that we need to assess whether we are aligned with our values.

Love the idea of looking back on your calendar as a reminder to check if you're living aligned to your values. Great tip!
