Farewell Obama Family

Hello!

As the world prepares to bid farewell to Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States, I thought I would share a few of my favourite moments from the past eight years - video and photos of the first family, both at work and having fun.

Michelle Obama and daughters, Malia and Sasha, talking to Barack after her Democratic National Convention speech in 2008. The girls, who were only 7 and 10 years old at the time, were so cute.

Barack Obama is the first US president I have paid attention to. I enjoy listening to his speeches. He is a great speaker, the first lady Michelle is a wonderful role model to women everywhere and the whole family seem so casual and friendly. They said that they wanted to make the White House "the people's house" and they definitely did that. Their appearances on talk shows were interesting and funny. I'm going to miss them a lot.

Thank you Mr and Mrs Obama, you have been a great president and first lady and made America proud. Goodbye and best wishes to all of you.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back! I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly. But that doesn’t mean our light is gone. Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky. No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do. Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar. I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed. There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
