Hey there skillcyclers, it has been quite a while since I last posted. I wanted to say a quick hello and update you with a few bits and pieces. 

In the time that I've been away from this space, we have moved house and are setting up (rental) home in a little cottage on our own. Quite a process. One of the things I'm excited about is knowing EXACTLY what we own and only keeping those things that are useful or wanted and have a place in our home. My husband and I were sharing house for 20 or so months and it was easy to accumulate things in a large and rambling home and lose sight of what we had and where it was!!

Another thing I'm very excited about is that a friend of mine is looking to start Skillcycle in her own town. She's been chatting with friends and thought there was no point in re-inventing the wheel. This opens more possibilities for inspiring one another and seeing what clever skills another lot of people are interested in and have to offer.  So we'll keep you posted with these happenings. 

And, finally, I wanted to put up a link to a write up on Megan's blog, The Byron Life. Megan also contributes on Simple, Green, Frugal Co-op where you can read about all sorts of things to do with sustainability and simple living. Megan has just written an article about another clever woman, Rhonda Hetzel, her blog and her new book 'Down to Earth: A guide to simple living". Rhonda has an interesting story and has a huge change of heart and lifestyle. Worth checking out! Click HERE to go to the article. 

I'm also curious to know what you're reading or what events, groups and happenings you've been involved in that share similar values to Skillcycle?
