Hey everybody, Carly here again, I’ve just gotten back from a gorgeous walk along my local beach, it’s a gorgeous day here a very nice 24 degrees here in Perth, beautiful blue skies not a cloud in the sky it’s absolutely gorgeous. I was reflecting while I was down there on how important it is for me to do self care, some kind of self care every day. I start my day at 5am most mornings and hit…
I was in a workshop the other day where a clinical psychologist was talking about Post Traumatic Growth (PTG) and showed this picture of a broken bowl, repaired with gold or silver lacquer, called Kintsukuroi.
