Best Of August: A Post About Hair, The Publishing Sensation Case Study and a Love Letter from Me to You

Hi panda bears!

YAY! August! A big, miraculous month…

Filled with deep sharings, transformations + philanthropic giving…

Here’s the goods incase you missed any of it!

A Post About Hair, But Not Really About Hair

August. Sweet August.

It feels like a time of new beginnings.

I’m not going to lie – I’m kind of unable to really – July was fucking ROUGH. Intense and hard and lots of boundary setting and consequent endings.

And then there were moments of clarity and joy and promise too.

It was like watching both the destruction of something old and the birth of something new all at once.

And it’s a story I can tell with my hair.

It’s about other places in my life too.

But the hair is the story I am called to telling.

Leonie’s Scrapbook

We’re back with my latest instalment of Leonie’s Scrapbook!

Here’s how the last few weeks have played out…

I went to the beach and I cut off my hair and I had a writing retreat with my editor Tam…

we went to the beach
and she taught us all she knew
all the things we had known
all along.

I persisted with my regular scrapbook of sorts – taking a look back at the past couple of weeks. I wrote about Mr. Dawson’s boss + the videoshoot that turned me bright pink!

I need to warn you:

it is NOT that exciting. It’s been almost four weeks of non stop sickness in my house. I had a cold, then I got better, my kids stayed sick, then I got a throat infection.

Featherless

I used to think
I was divine
Barely human
All that messy life stuff
Did not apply to me
I could see the stars and the moon and the sky
And the reasons behind it all.
It was easier and softer back then.

Leonie Dawson International Donates $10,000 To Build A Library In Vietnam

One of my BIG WHYs for why I do what I do is because I adore philanthropy.

I believe that business can be a huge force for good in the world and I love sharing the abundance I receive with the places and people and planet and animals that need it most.

Above my desk, there are the pictures of our eight sponsor children, plus all the beautiful thank you cards from organisations we are able to support.

It makes my heart sing with joy and it makes me weepy and it fills me right up.

It keeps me motivated to keep making big magic in the world.

Recently, we were able to make one of our largest single donations to date… a cheque to build a library in Vietnam through Room To Read.

I asked one of my team to write & illustrate the adventure for you so you could follow along!

Join us here!

Another week, and another good news story in Leonie-land…

This time about some beautiful work one of our Academy members is doing, and how we’ve been able to support them!

Earlier this year Leonie Dawson International made a generous donation of $1000 to the Rotary Australia World Community Service to support the Suluhisho Project in Kenya. HORAAY! Read more about it here!

Penned from me to you.

A little bit like the olden days of blogging. Or penpalling. Those are my favourite.
