Mood: 🤗. Moving from resisting to embracing. Unlocking gratitude. 🌹 What am I grateful for this week? What a blur this past week and a half in Geneva has been. Things are rapidly drawing to their natural conclusions, and yet: I’m proud of myself, for advocating for myself. Even if it didn’t change any outcomes. Lately I’ve noticed…

Mood: 😪. On second thought, a bit of downtime might be just what I need. 🌹 What am I grateful for this week?
