What am I currently reading, working on and watching on TV?
What I’m Watching…
In recent years I realised that I am not a movie person…maybe that’s cuz I tend to watch movie review channels a lot. TBH, I’m not sure that i like that so that’s something I’ll have to work on in 2026.

What I’m Working On
One of my biggest challenges is putting myself out there. You know the saying “closed mouths never get fed”. Well I think I’ve been selling myself short in a few areas of my life😔
