Living funerals are an interesting & wonderful concept - celebrate your life with your loved ones whilst you're still alive.

I first head of living funerals when @KrisPoB hosted hers earlier this year and recently saw @CoopFuneralcare's guide on it.

👂Some sounds bring us peace and delight. I love the sound of a Summer evening, trees blowing in the wind, waves reaching land and rain on a window.

It's been a trend for a while but I am quite taken with the idea of romanticising your life but I don't know where to start... maybe a wee morning routine

Enjoyed this article about women's relationship with ambition. From a distaste for ambitious women to, now, women wanting a 'soft' life and being disenchanted with ambition.
