You beauty!

Settlement today and I was given the green light to drop in to the Real Estate agent’s office to pick up the keys to my new apartment. The girl at reception surprised me with an Xmas Pressie!

And what a great gift! Love Riedel glassware, love red wine even more! Perfection! Thanks PPD!

Diablo Immortal – Australia Clan Announcement

It’s been a heavy few days, but Tazz and I are starting to make some progress with picking up the pieces, and working on a new shared vision for the clan. This is my draft piece, and since writing this Tazz has edited it to add some of his input, and where it’s all “I” and “me” in my original piece, our final piece is “we”, and man I feel good about it!

“There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.”

The dust hasn’t settled, but I think now is a good time to discuss clan goals going forwards. I think our greatest strength as a clan is not how well we perform in Diablo Immortal, but how interactive, beautiful and amazing our clan members are in real life. We’ve built up a pretty special community here of like minded individuals and we’ve created a safe space for members to share their lives outside of the game (no small feat!).

At this stage of the game, especially with the server merge, it’s obvious to see that the clans with the biggest whales on the server will be the ones who win future wars. For us to work so hard at going for the #1 spot at the detriment of both our mental and physical health makes no sense at all to me. With this in mind I’d like to propose that we focus on what we do have, and that’s each other.

“We’re here for a good time, not a long time”

I feel that our goal going forwards as a clan is to nurture our community and above all just have fun in the game with each other. Ultimately, people will always come and go from the games we play. Those of you who insist on becoming Immortals might not align with our new clan goals, and if it came to it, I’m sure many would be sad to see you leave, but I’m also sure everyone would both understand and respect your decision.

Thanking all of you in advance for your support and patience. Let me know what you all think, let’s have an open discussion in clan-chat.

Signature Sound – Testimonial

Thanks to Leslie, Steve, Benny and the entire Signature Sound community I am now officially a published author!

I’m so grateful to have been invited into this group and this book project. The biggest highlight for me was being invited to speak our in-progress pieces out loud over multiple “Reverb Sessions”, which were live video calls with mentors Leslie, Steve, Benny as well as writers involved with the book project. These calls were emotionally charged, super vulnerable and so precious. Literal tears were shed!

Leslie, Steve and Benny have created a safe space for creators to share their unfinished work and gain constructive feedback to help refine our stories. The process of speaking my piece out loud in front of others alone helped me to gain confidence and new perspectives on how I could further develop and refine my writing.

All in all, such a highly rewarding and overtly positive experience that I won’t be forgetting any time soon!
