We now have super powers.

Or at least that’s how we feel today, as last night we were able to complete round #1 of our covid vaccination. Despite the issues identified with the AZ vaccine and clot risk, we trust the science and recognise that the risk of vaccination is far less than the clot risk associated with other medical treatments and some daily activities. And far less than the impact covid can have on everyone. Although to be honest, I do feel like I’ve been hit by a truck – but the news must get through!

We hope that the Australian vaccination program can only improve as we head into winter.

Has been a quiet week but some goodies to keep you inspired from the past 7 days – so kick back and enjoy.

See you next week

Suean and Mike

P.S. – our #whatsthisfood this week was pretty cool – plus don’t forget our #coachingcorner resources available anytime on our website.

The Liver!

It is arbitrarily divided into 3 lobes:

1) R
2) L
3) Caudate
