This week was all about the lead up to Easter. Although I’m not religious by any stretch of the imagination, it’s the one holiday that I can’t ever imagine being away from family.

This Week’s Snapstories About Personal Learning
I started to use Snapchat again after a long break over January as I was doing a lot of soul-searching about my independent consulting career and instead focussed on “slow reading” to get my mind on other things.

Reflections of My Snapchat Channel
