I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

I thought you'd be really busy and stressed at this time of the school year @Former-Member. I had coffee with a teacher friend today and she was soooo tired and over the school year. I'm here if you want to talk about what is going on. I can imagine how stressed you'd be with everything firing at the moment.
Im going ok at the moment, just trying to take each day as it comes for now. My stresses at home have settled a little and I've taken pressure off myself for now. It looks like January for me will be stressful as that is when my ex wants to start sorting the legal stuff and separating our assets.

Hi @utopia,
I am so sorry to hear about your mum, I can only imagine what you are going through right now. Please allow yourself to be emotional and reflect. It sounds like you are keeping busy and doing some wonderful things such as applying for a job, well done fingers crossed you get it!
Also that sounds really amazing watching your friend measure and record the Aboriginal water wells, how interesting!
Take care ❤️

Hi @utopia,
Thanks so much for the update.
Im really sorry for your loss. She sounds like a wonderful and significant role model in your life. I'm glad she is in pain free peace now. 💜💐
wow the rest of the week has been huge. Well done for getting through all the work things and applying for a job. Good luck with your application.🙏
I'm so pleased for you that you've been able to be a part of recording history and that it has helped you during a very difficult week. You're mountain sounds amazingly spiritual by the way and it must feel part of you, you belonging to that land and having a deep connection with it🌱🌾🍂🐜🐞
take care, thinking of you 💜🤗
Just tagging @Appleblossom, @Decadian, @Faith-and-Hope, @Kurra, @Shaz51, @TAB too to alert you to @utopia post n case you miss it😊
