🦘Every year Australia Day arrives with mixed emotions as for some it is a day of sadness and others a day of celebration.
🦘I’m proud to be an Australian who acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land especially where I live, the Wurundjeri Tribe and I pay my heartfelt respect to their elders past, present and emerging.
🦘I have said in the past that I cannot undo the failings of my ancestors; however I can and hope that I already do create the space, for healing and forgiveness in my little part of this beautiful country, for us all to reconcile and move forwards together.
🦘We are not separate from one another, we are connected because of the land that we stand upon, the place we all call home - Australia. Our country unites us and may we each find it in our hearts the compassion to forgive and to love and to move forwards together.
🦘Whatever Australia Day may mean to you, may you take a moment today to pause and reflect in gratitude for all that we have in our lives.
🦘The past few months I have seen Australian’s unite and support fellow Australian’s in some of the most horrific tragedies. The compassion, kindness, camaraderie, support and respect on display at this time is one of the many reasons why I am proud to be Australian.
🦘Big hugs to everyone in our beautiful country today.🦘
Much love and gratitude
