If you told me I’d be volunteering in a town where police/military shooting of civilians has taken place a few days ago, I wouldn’t have believed you. That’s before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world. Now, I love volunteering so much especially where and when it matters.

We all need something to kick us out of our complacent lives. We need to do more for humanity. . . . .

A group of teens and young adults with type 1 diabetes realized there was a need to create a community to deal with the isolation they felt because of their disease. They formed The Virtual Peer Network (VPN) with support from Diabetes Canada and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

So… I QUIT MY JOB! 🎉✌🏻

A couple of weeks ago I quit my job, just like that. 😅

After being off with Covid I came to the realisation that I wasn’t happy - and the after the year that we have had I genuinely feel like the most important thing is to be happy. ✨

Since starting my new job I have found that going back into office work and no longer working from home has triggered my anxiety and what was driving that anxiety more then ever was the job - and so I quit. 💁🏼‍♀️

I came to the realisation that I was in charge of my own happiness and the ONLY person who could make a CHANGE was ME - so I did!

I know, it might seem a little drastic but my new years resolution as to trust my instinct and the instant relief I felt told me that it was the right thing to do.

I had other opportunities in the pipeline (obviously) BUT I wanted to let you guys know that if your not happy, make a CHANGE - because life is do damn short. ✨

I cant wait to tell you all about my new job in the coming weeks, it seems that everything does happen for a reason and I’m so proud of myself for backing myself and taking that leap.

For anyone looking for a sign to take a leap - this is it✌🏻💁🏼‍♀️ Ps: how cute it my tee from @ywdtheshop - get bloody ordering!!!
