GOTCHA DAY 2023: A DECADE OF MEMORIES & CONNECTIONS

  It’s that time of the year again!  Always nostalgic, always great memories. Most of all it’s a reminder of some of the most precious memories and connections our adoption journey has created.  As cliché as it sounds when they say, “blood doesn’t make you family”, it’s 100% true.

Lessons in Quarantine

  Last week I ran three consecutive km’s.  Twice I may add!  By EOW I aim to be at 5km.  I’m recovering from a knee injury and due to COVID, suffered way too long before I could see a physiotherapist.  Healing has seemed like an eternity at this point! Sharing the lessons I’ve learnt during…
