Australia on my mind

Australia, you’ve been on my mind. Your beautiful land will always hold a special place in my heart. You are a place I called home, a place I still dream about and the place where my daughter was born.

My heart brakes for your people, my friends, the displaced communities, wildlife, and the sunburnt land. Despite the tragedy, I’ve also been deeply moved by stories that show everyday folks giving and receiving a helping hand, and coming together in their greatest time of need. This is the kindred spirit of a country I know and love.

The beautiful words of beloved Australian author Jackie French gave me solace.

“Focus on what you can do. Don’t cry for what you can’t.”
