True friends call you out when you’re talking shit. Am I right? Sometimes it’s a very direct “I love you, but will you listen to yourself?” and sometimes the mirroring is more passive. This week I have been blessed to spend time with a variety of my friends and one key topic has come up […]

The Mid Year Review
I don’t think anybody would disagree that 2020 has been a pretty weird year thus far. We had the catastrophic bushfires in Australia, locusts in Africa, global pandemic and probably the biggest surge in consciousness around racism since the civil rights movement in the 1960s.
