Another great lot of speakers today! Today, there Another great lot of speakers today!
Today, there are two audios, so I actually listened to them while doing some cooking. 
Amy Ayres is a great encourager if you've been scared to put yourself out there as an introvert.
Julia Zatta did a talk on LinkedIn, but I found what she said to be very applicable to any media you are putting out there, even for blog posts or any content. Something she said was to use those expressions that you are known for, use emotional, sensory stories and use numbers to grab attention. 
I still want to listen to the rest.

Speaking today 

✨ Jenna Webb - How to Authentically Use AI to 10x Your Art Sales and Social Media Reach

✨ Julia Zatta - 10 Copywriting Tips to Make Your LinkedIn Posts Pop

✨ Amy Ayres - Offbeat Ink Presents: Breaking the Feed (Meaningful and Intentional Social Media That Doesn't GIve You The Ick)

Speaking today 

✨ Kayleigh King - How to Build a Creative Shot List + Introduction to DIY Brand Photography

✨ Alex Jean Grunwell - Making Content Work Harder: Your Pinterest Content Stack for Evergreen Marketing

Sometime it all gets broken so that you can build Sometime it all gets broken so that you can build again.

Nicky handed in his project before he left for Craddock. But the wind blew it over. it was flat. People put their projects on top of his. He brought it home in tears. But we got the prestick out and added some reinforcements to make it stronger. The second version is built to stand.

What have you had to rebuild lately?

If you don't know what your medical aid's emergency numbers are, you had better head over there and check. I've also got other relevant numbers and links that you will need.

So, do you have a number to phone if you need an ambulance?

I popped into Wagtails Charity Shop in Walmer, GQ, I popped into Wagtails Charity Shop in Walmer, GQ, which sells goods in aid of the Animal Welfare Society. 
Actually, I was looking for frames after my sister gave me some photos. I found two lovely ones for R10 each.
I also found a nice Woolworths jersey, which is a tad too small, but it works well to keep your arms warm along with another top. There was another beautiful top, which I think is from PicknPay. 
Nicky has been bugging me for sunglasses, but I'm not sure on the quality of these or what they are, but he thinks they are cool. I also got a hair grip (it's nice and big for when I want to tie my hair up).

Do you guys ever go to charity shops!? We used to do it a lot in Joburg for books.

It's really been good to spend some time with my s It's really been good to spend some time with my sister and her family. We ate some good food, we caught up and we also did something special in honour of my father - scattering his ashes by one of the beaches that he and my mom would walk on. 
I am truly grateful for my family.
Safe travels, guys!

I'm also very grateful to the chess community for helping me and others who got stuck.

The year of chess adventure took a whole new meaning today.

Great time to admire the scenery.

If you want to know what burnout is, it's not what you think.

It's not because you're overloaded. It's because what you are doing isn't aligned with who you are.

Please go ahead and read my post up on the blog. I really learnt a lot from this workshop.

Thank you to @her_mindset_mentor Althea Ross @your_motivationalcoach Berni Oosthuisen as well as @bloom_delene Delene Burcksrdt.
