Evaluation
Have we met our vision?
I feel that I have improved the situation with my partner and family, we have clarified our joint vision, some of our differences, aims...; We could make future plans in a more aware way in order to be happy and achieve our dreams as couples and as individuals.
Maybe not all the vision points above were met but there is a lot that you can see in yellow colour saying that, we are not at 100% but we have made progress.
Anyway it was great and very positive to share this experience with my partner who also is using this work as one of her permaculture diploma projects, this led us to understand each other at the same level.
You can see this project from my life partner point of view by clicking (here).
Every time we know more each other we improve our relationship.
To do an evaluation about how we have meet our vision is more complex than a land project evaluation..., it's more an intuitive work to know the effective was our plan, it's more like a mix of many details, feelings and experiences that have changed direction or have improved. So I have evaluate from my heart feelings.
Bellow I have represented with colours how effective this design was to meet our vision.

Reflections
Personal Reflections
I feel that this work has been very good, rewarding and practical to my personal level.
Knowing I'm on the same page as my partner gives me more confidence in myself about the life I'm living now and for our future plans, now I feel I have more confidence in her and our relationship.
This has been a relatively simple project, and personally not being as heavy and long as other projects carried out previously, I feel that it has given to me a kick of energy. Trying to be simple I feel that helps to synthesise what is most important.

Project Reflections
It was a pleasure to have deepened into a new methodology and processes by Looby Macnamara's hand, I opened my mind exploring other ways to find solutions on the permaculture path. I thinks that to do a life project using Looby's process is the most apropriate way, and I especially recommend it to use in relationship projects as we have done.
Looking at the natural patterns I had with my old relation ships, has been a fresh and exiting different way to look at the patterns in Permaculture as I haven't seen before.
We haven't used many design tools at the this project's integration section, but I think that the ones we have chosen are the most appropriate to help us to take important decisions, those were PNI and web of connections.

Professional Reflections
In the past had more complications to process personal projects, now I feel I had improved my abilities and I more capable to help to realise relationships works with other people and communities.
Time Reflections
This has been one of the projects that can not be calculated the hours spent on analysis and ideas, life partner relationship is something that you live in day to day and is integrated in your thoughts.
I think is important to take the necessary time until see positive changes, in our case I feel that this was a very fluid work together, but in other situations time can vary greatly.
