We were told how in these type of houses, the two larger windows symbolize parents, while the smaller one underneath is the child. When I was a kid I remember a lot of doors being made of corrugated metal like this. The houses tend to blend into the rocks.Ī couple of doors. The color palette is pretty much earthy brown and sky blue. The landscape is both desert and mountain. In Tafraout, the houses are built on, under or around boulders. It’s located right where the mountains meet the desert, and it contains elements of both. A recent road trip took our family to Tafraout (about 5 hours south of Marrakesh). Blue jeans and plastic haven’t yet taken over every inch of this planet, and we need to witness as much of the old ways as we can, in my opinion. There’s so much I haven’t seen, there is a lot of natural beauty and there are people living the old traditional ways. It was about travelling in Morocco, and how every time I travel I really appreciate this country. Believe it or not it wasn’t about blogger’s block. Now I’ll show you what I actually came on here to blog about. Why would we put so much loving labor into something that, for the most part, we are not paid to do? But I get it now, it’s about taking a little extra time to savor life and share it with all those who might resonate with our way of seeing. Some blogs have all the bells and whistles, twitter feeds, giveaways, buttons. Others are gorgeously designed and well-photographed. Others are excellently word-crafted, obviously written by someone with actual literary ability. Some are witty, self-deprecating and sardonic. Just take a look at the comments you all leave.

People respond well to true voice, it resonates with all of us. It’s great practice anyway, even if “the voice” doesn’t always show up. (sounds so self-indulgent it makes me cringe). What makes blogging even possible, sustainable and enjoyable is the feeling that the more I write, the more my true voice emerges. (Then again, as my friend aptly pointed out, I’m not exactly Oprah Winfrey, when it comes to audience size). The more people subscribe here or stop by, the more nervous I get about the next thing I am going to write. I think about all the people I know from the different spheres of my life reading this, good golly! Instead of throwing caution to the wind, I wrap it closely around me. Since I write with my real name and make only very weak attempts at veiling my identity, blogging makes me vulnerable.

It has also presented an opportunity to bring the wider industry together for support and connection. Both born in Ireland, Harding and Doheny met on a pipeline project in Queensland and have since worked together for eight years.Ī conversation between the co-founders outlined a desire to give back to the industry which gave them their start. The inspiration for Dig Deep comes from CRE Group co-founders Michael Harding and Patrick Doheny. It will feature major brands such as CJD Equipment, Solution Plant Hire, and CRE Group.
