I am reminded of a women's networking event I attended, what seems an age ago. But lately I've been feeling quite despondent. So I brought up my notes from this event and tried to make sense of it all to try and inspire me. In life, and in careers, we don't necessarily need a goal. [...]

July 2020
How is it August already? I don't even know where July went! Reading back on each day's gratitude, I think, how was that even July? Lockdown life and lockdown days really are merging together now.

June 2020
What a tumultuous month! I had a lot on my mind and it was building up and festering. There was a lot of noise and pressure coming from all angles. I think it's safe to say that I have been going at full speed for so long I was bound to run out of fuel [...]
