Thanks for joining us for issue 3 of our little newsletter sharing our Cohen and Kleo updates. (How long can we keep saying little?)
The Winter chill has been keeping us tucked away but now the sun is shining more and the days are warming up.

We've been focussing on what it means to move forward on this project. How do we bring the stories to life? How do we share them with the world? What does it look like getting back into adventure and travel?

Figuring out life and building better habits has also been part of recent focus. Although thats more a Cohen matter than Kleo. The life of a plush Kererū is well... plush.

Today's issue we're talking about audiobooks (again), springing towards summer, and how reflection can lead to focus.

Notes from Cohen

It feels like life is always focussed on figuring out how to build focus in life. Ain't that counterintuitive.

This is not the first time I've talked about this and it won't be the last I'm sure. But I also thinks it's as much a part of growing this book as it is growing my life so talking about it make sense.

I've been building my practice of reflection over this year, the consistency fluctuates but i'm begining to find that the days and weeks I don't take a moment to reflect are also the ones that I get lost on, that the progress stops. That's why for the past few months I've had a notebook by my bed and take a moment to write a page or two, to let out whatever I floating in my head. Its spurred some good thoughts, and its allowed for some calmer sleeps.

Maybe I'll find some of those thoughts to share later.
In more exciting news, we've been spending a lot of time hanging with friends and family over the last couple weeks, catching up with those we know and building connections with new people. It has been great for the soul.

I've also been working on my language skills, back to high school days and seeign how I go with French. (spoiler not great so far).

Kleo's Corner Finally Spring, although you wouldn't know it some days. Feels like there's still ice on my wings. (Cohen is frowning, as according to him I've only ever had ice a couple times and never in NZ. I'd beg to differ and they are my wings.) Anyway my adventures have been far from grand these past few months, I've instead spent as much of my time cosying up indoors or warm pockets as I can.

There has been some delightful interaction with some young fans and I'm very excited to get back out on Cohen's shoulder to show off and meet some more. Cohen's getting a sticker of me made so all the fans can remeber me at home. How exciting.

Hope you're all looking forward to summer. I can't wait for the berries.

The Book Nook

We've got another audiobook.
Kleo the Kererū and the Palace Cat has hit the airwaves and is ready to be streamed.

Check out the Spotify link below
or if you stream elsewhere check out Kleo the Kererū Adventures for more options.

In this new story Kleo and her friend Cohen are spending the day at a palace in Istanbul, Turkiye. It's not grand ballrooms as in the shadows a fluffy danger lurks.

From the Blog

Has there been activity on the blog? Sure
Has it been as consistent as we would have liked? Not really

Its another one of those things about finding balance in life that we've talked to before. We had a short run with a few posts through August and then life "got in the way".

In any case we've got a couple posts you might want to check out.
