My nickname is Nearly Rodger’s with my mates
2021 covid stopped me seeing Nile Rodger’s

Me, I work here!
I cannot believe I work at Texthelp
Me, I work here!
Saying it out loud so that it sinks in for my benefit!
The absolute joy I get seeing me with the logo every time I login! 🤗
Today has been very emotional as I move on to new pastures work wise. Overwhelmed is the word, but more so at the kindness of people recognising the significance of today. Longtime friends as well as friends I have never met face to face, but have turned out to be real pals too
Here we go

We rise by lifting others
We rise when we have community values
We undo all of that when we are rude
We undo all of that when we plagiarise/riff off others work without citing when credit is due
You have a choice
Be the one who lifts others or the one who holds others back
"I think it's important to remember where you came from and those who shaped your path, always. This might be an individual award (and I may not even make the shortlist) but recognition for others who helped me, is deserved"

Go make those memories
Do all the things
Stop the things that make you unhappy
We have one chance to live our best life, live yours to the max ❤️
Today I sent my learners a certificate. They are adults. Each certificate was personalised "for juggling homeschooling & still doing maths" "for keeping going when the newborn is not sleeping" etc.All with a personalised bitmoji too! It was appreciated by them!
