This week, there are plenty of options.
Sometimes I wonder whether there is really that much more happening in Hong Kong or our HK heartbeat community is a lot more active.
Today is one of those occasions when my Tuesday newsletter happens on the first of the month and before I could start preparing my weekly update, I spent 12 hours publishing your November calendar of events.
There really is a lot of great stuff happening out there and I love taking the time to share it with you.
If I wonder why my back goes out from time to time, days like this provide an abundance of evidence. I need not worry, just get moving.
Catching up from my unexpected Canada trip last month has taken a lot of time and energy, but I am already feeling the strength gained from the experience.
Catching up with everyone and celebrating our Fifteen years together was definitely something to look forward to during trying times. Once again, there were plenty of conscious conversations and no photos to share — success.
We begin our next chapter in gratitude for the natural pioneers who inspired me to provide this service and make it easier for everyone to connect with each other.
We had 1 new business member sign up in October and I encourage you to extend a warm welcome to Wendy Lam offering bodywork in Central.
November is usually a full diary with annual events like Arts in the Park, Lamma Fun Day and Clockenflap while Green Drinks celebrates 10 years with 10 speakers this month.
The summer of plastic has stretched into fall. Once you see A Plastic Ocean, you will be inspired to support Plastic Free Seas at their inaugural Focus On Our Seas Fundraiser or sign up a team for the HK Cleanup.
With the abundance of options on offer, it’s great to see Green Queen embracing digital with their new Wellness Passport for your iPhone and they have assured us an Android version is on the way. I am inspired, considering the HK heartbeat website directory is still managed by hand the old fashioned way and I enjoy staying in touch with everyone as I maintain and update everyone’s contacts. It was really new technology when I started it and the upgrade will happen when the time is right.
Keeping up with all the new products and services and activities happening in our vibrant community leaves me tired but happy and it helps to schedule a time out to look back on the ground we’ve covered before heading out on the road ahead.
Where do you see plenty?
Naturally,
