Gee, am I glad for the weekend! This past week has been impressively crap on many fronts and I couldn’t be happier it comes to an end. The sudden cold weather, tons of work, news and under the weather-ness, really makes a couple days of calm reflection a necessity. And it kinda started last night when, between wine, copious amount of semi junk food, gossip and talk of new US president, my lady friends and I had one of the most honest conversations I’ve had in a long time. As women, professionals, friends, partners and everything in between, there’s so much we are angry about, afraid of and dumbfounded by; yet the realisation that change can and must start from the way we each deal with the various curveballs which life throws us, be it small or big, and from being there for each other, eyes, ears and heart open, is quite soothing and sufficiently hopeful.

Happy peanut butter month, y’all. Here’s all you’ll need.
