Okay so I guess it has been a while since my last post, but for a valid reason! I have barely had time to breathe.
I suppose I can describe the past few weeks as 'Good Busy.' A brief overview of my antics have been attending the Cork Person of the Year lunch and chilling with Micheal Flatley; launching the Irish sector of the European Year of Development with President Micheal D. Higgins; speaking at the Cork Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner [
video here]; and finally, flying to Lisbon to speak at the Thought For Food Challenge and Conference. I think that probably covers all the major stuff!

As I'm writing this, I'm not exactly sure what to say because I doubt anyone will actually care what I've been up to the past few weeks! But I figured I might aswell explain why I have been essentially 'off grid,' to satisfy those who have been DMing me on Twitter asking where my next blog post is.

I take different things away from all these experiences. For example, from the Cork Person of the Year celebration, I learned that Cork people are generally awesome. From the launch of the European Year of Development I learned that there are people out there who care, who want to make the world a better place, but somehow, progress in some major areas like human rights and indeed, food security, is painstakingly slow. And from Thought For Food, well, what I learned from that could fill a whole other blog post: and it will do so, in a few days. I know I miss a lot of school for these things, but it's another kind of education in itself.

So I guess this post doesn't have a big deep message, but they don't all have to. I'm just busy living in the moment and enjoying these experiences as they come along!
