I grew up in an active family. We all played multiple sports and Saturday was generally spent on a netball field or at a sailing club. That also meant Mum and Dad were seasoned pros at juggling my brothers and I and getting us to our various trainings. Even now, Wednesday evenings make me think …
A moment in time to remember. A gathering of friends, a night spent together remembering who we are.
Well that was one big break! But in between an increasingly active toddler keeping me on my toes, a child coming to grips with the weirdness going on in the world, protests and the COVID-19 lockdown and the subsequent return to the world – and all the big emotions that brought up – this little …
