2020. A year that will never be forgotten. Battere 2020. A year that will never be forgotten. Battered, bruised, pushed to the limits. A spotlight shone on imperfections ,and failings. Strength and creativity ignited. Resilience, agility,  heartache, action. Kindness and community. Generosity and caring. Desperation and despair. Hope and determination.We are still here. Lessons have been learned. Attitudes changed, eyes opened.We will do better in 2021. Thanks especially to the best travel buddy @mylimeboots to everyone who walked the journey that was 2020 with me. For friendship, work opportunities and growth. You know who you are, but I tagged you all anyway. 😍Happy New Year South Africa.#newyear #2021 #goodbye2020 #hope #COVID19 #ShareSouthAfrica
