I felt all of this, Monique. Currently on my own unlearning journey and found your words here affirming and encouraging. Thank you!

In my professional life, now so long ago, I often spoke about unlearning as a way of creating space for new learning to happen. Now in my belated writing life I find it so hard to put that idea into practice. Thanks for opening up about your experience of that difficult path.

Hey Geoff, do shout up if an encouragement session with an incorrigibly perky fella would ever help make the path a little easier to navigate.

It's almost always easier to be generous to others rather than ourselves. A timely reminder to give ourselves a break.
