Beautiful choices

I’m choosing to make beautiful choices instead of making resolutions this year.

I facilitate conversations on the lands and waters of Australia’s First Nations people and honour the rich yarning traditions of the world’s oldest living cultures. I acknowledge and celebrate the strength, resilience and pride of First Nations people.
