I have signed up for Lent with www.notbusy.co.uk which is the truly wonderful idea of giving up busyness for Lent. I have embraced it because I am so often a human doing rather than a human being.

The idea of being public about giving up busyness is to ensure we do it. One of the basic premises behind it is to set aside 15 minutes each day during the period of Lent to do nothing.

My first observation is that to nothing was very difficult. Admin became attractive, as did the possibility of finding the iron.

My second is that this could be a truly transformative experience, but I will have to do it more than once to be sure that the potential is there.

Hope Lent is blessed and holy for you all
