21.01.2022 Today is Sorry Day. It is an Australia-wide observance which is held on May 26 each year. This day gives people the chance to come together and share the steps towards healing for the Stolen Generations, their families and communities. The first National Sorry Day was held on May 26, 1998, which was one year after the tabling of a report about the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families. The report, known as Bringing Them Home, acknowledged that Indigenous children were forcibly separated from their families and communities since the early days of European occupation in Australia. Governments and missionaries were responsible for this forced separation. #SorryDay2020

11.01.2022 And this truth

11.01.2022 Getting to a drive-through or walk-in testing site isnt the most accessible option for everyone. Thats why weve introduced the Call-to-Test service. An in-...home testing service for those with injuries, disabilities or who have difficulty travelling - and would otherwise be unable to leave home to be tested. If you live in a Stage 4 restrictions area, have symptoms, and youre eligible for the service, a qualified health clinician will visit within 48 hours of your call. Youll be able to isolate safely at home, and help slow the spread. No one should miss out on a getting a coronavirus test when they need one. And this way, they wont.

07.01.2022 Every time you avoid the truth of conflict to keep the peace, i.e. to please other people, you dishonor yourself and it costs you *your* peace. Speak your truth this week. Speak it from a place grounded in self love. Speak it even if you are afraid. Each time you speak your truth, you liberate yourself. Each time, you grow stronger. Image credit: @radiantheathmag
