late afternoon wine...

PASSING THOUGHT; I'm drinking a late afternoon wine - which I never do. I've survived an intense, 2 hour conference re workplace issues. Amazingly, all my documented submissions have the rubber stamp of approval. I cannot believe it. I've more guts than I thought I had.🍷🍷🍷

I don't believe that this statement is completely true in my case...
I have had to learn by trial and error to be strong enough to live it...

Sending you courage and love. Remember, speak your truth, listen to other people's truth, and don't be committed to the outcome, i.e., be open to whatever happens.❤️💪🏻

You've healed too hard and leveled up too much to let anyone bring back an older version of you.

honorary Victorian...

While my 2022 life will be in the Riverina, NSW, I will always consider myself an honorary Victorian. I have ridden the covid wave there. I will be ever grateful to Pemier Dan Andrews for his strength and guidance. pic.twitter.com/eEknXSGBc3
