Things that made me happy
For June, the thing that has made me happy the most has had to be the fact that I’m alive and well. I didn’t imagine 24 being how it turned out, but I’m so happy with what I managed to accomplish and being more mindful of my capacity and needs. Go me! 😊
Full Instagram postStarting this thread was also pretty nice.

June Favourites
- 📺 Loki on Disney+ came out this month, and we’ve been enjoying watching it every Wednesday! Totally getting Doctor Who vibes from it.
- 🎙 I discovered the Developer Love Podcast recently and have enjoyed the conversations that I have listened to.
- 📚 I’m currently reading and enjoying the book, The Business of Belonging: How to Make Community your Competitive Advantage by David Spinks. It’s a brilliant book that has taken me back on all the communities that I’ve either created or been a part of from years ago. Communities are so important ❤️
