I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of preparing for the talk, giving the talk and interacting with the audience. More importantly I am enjoying the journey of prioritising my health.

Five reasons Why I write
So…I just got back from a few weeks of holiday. Needed the break. There is something magical about breaking routine.
