Good afternoon to the wonderful and gorgeous Melissa, (even though I’m sending this at 11pm)!
 
Carla and I are sure glad we came down from Sydney for the “Shine” holiday program, in fact, we could be back again next holidays as Carla said in the taxi on the way to the airport, she’d love to do it again!
 
That blew me away…..in a really good way, and made my heart smile. Being the mum I am, Carla has attended various resilience/confidence building/ etiquette courses here in Sydney, and definitely not enjoyed them, so I am grateful for the wondrous way the universe works, the timing was just right, thank you covid, and spending the three days with you has given Carla more than I ever could have hoped for! You are a beauty Melissa!
 
I did like you from our first little boogie together when I dropped  Carla off on the first day,  I like a good dancer!
 
You nailed the food, bloody overjoyed for that, I’d had visions (& past experience) of picking up a cranky hungry grump, who’s critique of what a good day is weighs heavily on the food she eats! Bless her heart! And bless your heart, what a clever, cool and inspirational person you are, you truely have a gift, I’m grateful Carla had the opportunity to bask in your beautiful positivity, and the light that radiates from your halo!
 
Don’t get me started on the show bag, I love a good show bag, and that was a ripper……
 
This is a quick thank you I am overjoyed to write……pity we’re not in melbs for the term course, though seriously the vibe and effect of the last 2 years, made it a relief and renewed thanks of the relatively normal life we have in Sydney, in our community, there’s little to no fear of the silly virus, and most people can see that it’s a scam. Many here ignore or choose not to comply with the disproportionate orders imposed on us.
 
Anyway, thank you so much, I’m so so glad we came down to Melbs, it’s given Carla a confidence boost going into year 6, and that’s priceless.
 
Love and thanks,
