Southern Africa contains the vast majority of the world's remaining populations of both black and white rhinoceroses (80% and 92%, respectively). The region's climate is changing rapidly as a result global warming. Traditional conservation efforts aimed at protecting rhinos have focused on poaching, but until now, there has been no analysis of the impact that climate change may have on the animals.

I did a strange and new thing today

If you click any of the links in this post you'll be able to download the Autumn - Go Within booklet, and I really hope you enjoy flipping through and using it as much as I enjoyed making it and will enjoy using it.

Many weeks ago I put together a seasonal planner. I hated it. It was nothing like the vision I had in my head. It was generic and uninspired and if I'm honest, I was ashamed of it because I knew it was not the planner that was calling for me to design it. It was the planner I thought people would want to buy, not the planner I wanted to make.

After talking about it to anyone who would listen, billing it as the next great billionaire-maker and my life's greatest work rolled into one, I abandoned it. By it I mean that draft, not the desire to design a text-based companion for intentional seasonal living, which is what brought me here.

So there I was, badly wanting to create the thing I held in my head as the perfect life-planning document for women like me (don't ask, there are not enough words in the world), yet feeling limited in my ability to do so by having to ask questions like Will other people like it? Will they pay for it? - and having to make sure that the answer is a resounding yes.

I couldn't do it.

I couldn't bring myself to care more about what other people would think than about making the documents I want to make. I want to care more about money because capitalism is a bitch and I actually haven't got it like that yet. I want to design a planner that will put every other planner out there to shame, that will sell out online and at Typo and EB, but as much as I want that (I mean, I'm not gonna lie) I want to design and develop the documents I want more. I want to partner with other women and bring shared creative visions to life. I want us all to live the lives we really want to live, not the lives capitalism forces upon us.

So I started over, following my intuition and expecting nothing, and the thing I ended up creating is this.

A booklet that supports intentional living for this season - Autumn.

Why did make this?

I find myself forced to reinvent myself (life is happening) but I refuse to become someone and something I'm not. I need support and structure to navigate this phase of my life so I put together the document I needed most. You can take a look by clicking this link.

I did a new and strange thing today. I put something I made out into the world.

I've been a blogger for years on various platforms, and I have been known (in my circles) as a prolific social media poster.

This is different.

This is different because I made something I like just for myself. Not for attention, not to impress anyone, not to make money or get a job, or to make someone else think that I'm worth of money and a job, but because I want to have it and enjoy it. I hope others like it and I hope that the next version is made better through feedback and engagement, but even if I never get feedback I'm still going to make more.

If Autumn is about going within then baby, I am going within and digging up and bringing me into the world (if you don't get it forget about it. Wink).

Making this left me exhausted and exhilarated. I'm not quite sure what to do with myself because I can't believe that I made it and that I actually shared it and it has my name on it!!!

I feel breathless all of a sudden *fans self.

May beautiful things happen to you and for you.

Zambia 🇿🇲:

In Zambia, as well as some other African nations (including my own), you can find humongous termite mounds the size of a small house, in a multitude of different shapes. Some of these mounds are used by the termites for hundreds of years, with one mound dated to be around 4000 years old.

Such clever little engineers!

In my completely unrelated opinion, Zambia also boasts some really delicious cuisine.

#Zambia #such a cool country actually #it’s southern African but it’s sort of in the crossroads between east south and central #consequently it’s extremely linguistically and culturally diverse #africa #🇿🇲 #fun facts #termites #bug facts #Southern Africa
