I think this is worth sharing….again. I am struck yet again at the start of the year, how blessed I am to share my professional and personal journeys with such outstanding people. Old and new, companionship makes the first and final steps possible.🙏🏻

Am reading about my year of birth & proximity of global annihilation…and then see this reported😔 The “Doomsday Clock” symbolising global peril moved closer to midnight yesterday amid the Ukraine war, nuclear tensions and the climate crisis. My whole life full circle🤔

Mannequins’ heads covered in a dress store in Kabul, Afghanistan, as a symbol of the Taliban’s puritanical rule. This image sums up so much that if it weren’t so incredibly horrible, could be laughable. I assume the ‘men’ in charge like their women to wear such dresses at home🤔
