9. The Goal Conversation:

Goal-setting as a unit is one thing I don’t see many couples practise. It’s the end of the year and many are probably focused on their individual vision boards without being clear on what their partners’ expectations for the year are and how these plans converge with (or diverge from) theirs. So, discuss these. What are your personal goals? And what goals would you love to achieve together as a couple? Financially, spiritually, mentally, wellness-wise, etc? Lay it all out.

Killester has a rich history; from its roots as a manorial centre, serving as home to an infamous Dublin banking family, to 'garden village' for veterans of WWI & beyond. Pick up a copy of our recent book to discover more of the suburb's fascinating lore! https://t.co/GftGLWoY3j

Rural posties were often inspired by their routes to write poetry, paint, sketch or - as in the case of postman Idris Mathias - spend 17 years drawing a 60ft long map of his route along the River Teifi in Wales. See my @walkerspectacle post at https://t.co/89HSkX0C12

🎄Countdown to Christmas - Zero Limits 2024🎄
#ZeroLimits what an event!
It is hard to sum up Zero Limits but participant Grace Muldowney said it best when she said "Truly it felt like a little bit of me was healed getting in behind the wheel of a car and not being held back"

Worth a read re #LeavingCert "reform" and Ministerial interventions

[Conor Murphy @conorsmurf]

🧵
Before Norma Foley's speech in 2022 the Leaving Cert was being carefully redeveloped.
At the time subjects that had previously had no extra component (like aural, oral, History essay, practicals etc) were going 80/20. 80% exam, 20% project.
People were happy enough with this.
