24.01.2022 I think you need to take everything as it comes. I am trying to keep the kids in line with a schedule, but having fun along the way. Life isn't "normal" for me at the moment. I’m in a very lucky situation and space but I am concerned about many around me getting through financially and mentally. I'll spend more time in the vegie garden and try and teach the kids some life skills they may not get at school. Advice I'd like to give everybody is gardening is heaps cheaper than therapy, and you get tomatoes. Roll with it, we'll all get through. - Luke (also preparing for Armageddon him and his son Theo in the previous post allowed each other to have a 30 min at home hairdressing appointment with war paint of course!)

20.01.2022 The beautiful Elize Strydom interviewed me! It features on Coastbeat with some amazing humans!

19.01.2022 There has been a lot of late nights and brainstorming, anticipating issues that may arise and how they could be overcome. It’s been a balance to ensure we can provide for our customers, especially those essential workers; to give them a great experience in a safe and functioning environment that also supports our Toast Team and community. It’s really easy to feel alone at this time. We are all feeling grief but at different stages. Be kind to yourself, be kind to each o...ther. The immediate future is unknown to us but then it always has been. It’s ok to not know all the answers but to do the best we can. Our next generation will lead the way to our new normal. - Mark - Toast Espresso We’re all in this together.

17.01.2022 ~ Stories also featured on instagram @minyarose ~ Right now it’s hard. It’s a surreal time, of uncertainty, fear, as we all adjust to a new way of life. Over the coming days and hopefully weeks - I’ll be sharing images and words from some incredible humans who are showing their vulnerabilities, showing up and being honest in the way they are adapting.

14.01.2022 I'm adapting to what's happening as best as I can. It's challenging, you can't help but feel vulnerable. It’s allowed me to appreciate how fortunate we are. Working in emergency, adapting to change is an essential part of the role. So life at the moment is no different, I just have to keep doing what is necessary. Living rurally, supporting each other is so important. It is so important to be kind. Of course; be smart, be safe but do think of others. Everyone is d...oing their best and that's all we can really ask for. - Kristi

13.01.2022 We're all in this together. For most of us, we’ve never had to face such adversity. Literally overnight our lives changed, and continue to change. But through all the stress and uncertainty, this can be a fantastic opportunity to just stop. ... Reflect. Plan. Adapt. I think it’s time for what’s important for you. How do you want to do things? This is your time now. Connecting and disconnecting is vital. Technology is incredible, it allows many of us to work from home, connect from a distance and learn so much. But we also need to switch it off. The key is to learn how to disconnect as well. - Mat See more

10.01.2022 Before the strict lockdown was introduced, I had a weekend trip booked to come back and see my family in Grafton. I’d just started working from home and was considering hanging around for another week or so but life had other plans. Two months on, it seems I’ve accidentally moved back in with my parents! Moving back into your childhood home after years of living independently is an adjustment to say the least, but it also feels pretty special. I haven’t spent this much time... with them l since I was in high school and it seems I’ve grown to love Escape to the Country as much as them. I’m still working full time for ABC News but managing to do it remotely. I miss my friends and colleagues, but feel lucky to have a job at all! Aside from withdrawing from our social lives, I think one of the scariest things has been the misinformation. Social media is full of widely inaccurate rubbish about ‘cures’, ‘rules’ and suggestions of blame. I remind myself often - not my circus, not my monkeys. - Harriet

09.01.2022 For the past few weeks, I have avoided this situation entirely. I turned up to work, laughed it off, sent memes, and focused on everything else that also seemed to be going wrong in my life, because let’s be honest - what a year 2020 has already been! What I avoided was acknowledging my anxiety was at all-time high. There was more coffee + alcohol, over-thinking the small things, consuming social media by the hour and sometimes thinking this was just happening to me. I ...often use travel as a tool to cope with my anxiety, because anxiety isn’t something new for me. Not having a plan, being told I need to be still (in the same spot) is absolutely bloody hard. Last year I took 62 flights, visited 6 countries and 5 Australian states. I don’t say those numbers to boast; I say this because I am so incredibly privileged and grateful to have had those opportunities. Those opportunities to connect, explore, wander and cope. Last week a conversation with a local café owner made me think (more than normal!). I listened as he too was worried, he too was anxious, and it was in a way that I had never seen. As I stood there I thought we really are all in this together. I knew then I needed to tell your stories, to capture this in a raw, heartfelt way. To show moments of you in an honest way. To create something that would say, I feel that too and stay connected when we can’t stay connected in traditional ways. So here we are. I am going to show up, be courageous, be vulnerable but most of all be hopeful. Min x See more

04.01.2022 I’ve really had to embrace and appreciate letting go of the must do, and the preconceived ideas of working - which as a leader, an Aries and a high performer is HARD! I’ve been writing small achievable lists each morning as I drink my coffee slowly and think about the day, and if it feels off then I’ll start again. My lists are soulful + home-ful, from things like journal, read and drink the coffee; to clean the blinds and order a new shower curtain. I’ve also... started dancing around my loungeroom for two songs every morning with Double J or a Spotify playlist that is super positive and fun. No one can see me, it makes me laugh at myself, and gets my endorphins up! I am lucky that I have spent the last 15 years healing and focused on my mental health after a very hard struggle, so I have good habits to check in on my mind, keep my body moving, reset.. and know that if I need a sad day to watch You’ve Got Mail and wallow that’s ok too! The Clarence River is my saviour and I’m incredibly comfortable with being isolated on one of its many islands, taking the time to breathe. To reach out. I am quite an introvert empath, and I get very anxious in crowds so self-isolating is something is I practice most weekends regardless! This surprises most people I meet, but then I also crave human voices, via words, song, poem, letters - which is why Instagram is such a powerful tool for me and staying connected. -Ang
