Podcasts

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great weekend. Today I want to tell you about two podcasts I've been listening to and enjoying. 

Hope Matters

Hope Matters is a podcast by Louisa Hope, who is one of the survivors of the Lindt Cafe siege which occurred in December 2014. After that tragic day which shocked our country, Louisa spent about three months in hospital and, as an expression of gratitude for the nurses who took care of her, she founded the Louisa Hope Foundation for Nurses which grants equipment, education and research. 

The Hope Matters podcast started in December 2019. In each episode, Louisa talks about her experience reflects on what happened that day and her experience as a hostage. The aim of this podcast is to think about what we have learnt since then, where our society is now, what our government has done and what still needs to be looked at. Through this, her fundraising efforts for the foundation and motivational speaking, Louisa is doing amazing things.

Many words can be described Lousia - Strong, courageous, inspiring. Just by hearing her speak, I can tell she is a kind person. Louisa hope is giving people hope. I look forward to listening to more episodes!

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...
