Easter reflections and a book

Easter is often a time of reflection.

As I crammed hot cross buns into my gob and baked a lot of sourdough, I thought a lot about how quickly things have changed for me.

At the end of 2024, I was looking for full-time work in Tech again. It did not go well.

As 2025 rolled around, I doubled down on coaching and consultancy. Today, I have a steady stream of coaching clients arriving and I earn enough to stay afloat.

I have executive control of my calendar. I can train, I can write my heart out and I can live with some breathing space. I absolutely love it. It feels like night and day compared to only 4 months ago.

And I’m writing a book. I haven’t told you about that yet. It’s a book about meditation. A long time ago, insight meditation (Vipassana) changed my life and then sent it into a tailspin.

I want to share my experiences, point out some of the blind spots in modern meditation, and offer a more holistic approach to practice.

I’ll say plenty more about the book over the next few weeks, as one of my Q2 goals is to get 20 pre-orders…

On topic, I’m also going on a meditation retreat, May 4-10. This presents some challenges when you’ve promised to publish something every day for 90 days and you can’t use electronics.

The solution is to write a lot in advance. This week is going to be busy.

See you tomorrow.
