I couldn't help but intervene. I laughed and asked, 'Isn't having a life where you always feel as if you are on holiday a sign of great success?” They both stared at me and then laughed as if to say 'good point' .... made complete sense to me!

Bring out your inner warrior to confront an uncertain 2021
By Tui Cordemans
Instagram posts are full of inspiring optimism for 2021. We just couldn’t wait for 2020 to end and for 2021 to start. It is as if something magical happens when one year turns into another.
