Waking up with enormous amount of gratitude. ๐๐๐ The unsung heroes behind the scenes.
So many people thank me this weekend...
I do feel that shyness when my name is mentioned everytime. ๐
Not that I don't deserve it. I earned it, so appreciated it and the feeling validated.
Nevertheless, I truly know. I didn't do this Celebrate women movement alone.
Yes. I am an one woman business. My AI is my employee that together, we produce over 200 hrs of work per week.
However, to make this movement works. I need connections, network, hard-work from all the sponsors, volunteers, partners, teams, friends, family (my mum was here yesterday. I do feel proud that I made her proud.)

The amazing wisdom shared by Karen Lindley AM.
The Novotel Team & Pumphouse team, Jemma and Matt the GM.

You all filled the spaces, filled the speakers rooms.
Packed every speaker sessions.
The gentlemen support to their wife, sister, mums.
Those are the unsung heroes who made this weekend the greatest weekend to celebrate women.
I was never alone in this journey.
Yes. I didn't sleep for 1.5 months. Working till 2am was the standard. Yes. I put my heart and soul into creating this movement.
But truly... these unsung heroes and beautiful people are the reason why we must remember...
Even in the most stressful situation.
Even when some people will not like you, believe in you or accept you no matter what you do.
Even when you turned into a dinosaur and they are there to pull you back to earth.
Asking for help is not a sign of weakness.
Is how you get help from people with the most amazing beautiful souls to join together to support you. ๐๐
We are not alone in this.
Celebrate Women Movement is about accepting our current self, work towards are better tomorrow, to refill our cup, to recognise our achievements.
I accepted and appreciated my achievements.
I am also so grateful to everyone single one of you that I didn't tag, didn't name, didn't got a chance to say thank you in person.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ๐๐๐
Happy tears of gratitude and appreciation.
Respect to you all. ๐๐โค๏ธ
We will do it again next year.
Hopefully we can bring it state wide too.
To give a day, a chance, a moment to all of us.
