Hey Everyone!
Rachael is currently in the Hinchinbrook region preparing for the launch of the new newspaper in two weeks, which is why I'm stepping in to assist with the Editor's Note in the meantime.
Having said that, you will be seeing a bit more of me over the next three months and beyond, as the ‘guest editor,’ for Whitsunday Life.
Many of you will recognize Daniel as one of the dedicated journalists working alongside me at Whitsunday Life Newspaper. However, in both exciting and sad news (I know I will miss him), Daniel will be transitioning to the Hinchinbrook paper for the time being.
While Daniel will still be around occasionally, his primary focus will now be based there, while I continue to cover the Whitsundays. I hope you will all join me in wishing him the very best of luck in this new chapter of his career, I know he will do amazingly well!
In other news, everyone in the office is getting really excited about our staff party this weekend, where we'll be going scuba diving! As a big fan of the sport with my open-water certification, and having finally gotten my moon boot off after breaking my foot, I'm especially looking forward to it. That said, I know there are a few people who are a little apprehensive (cough, Crissy).
I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with the team outside of work, doing something I love. With how fast-paced our industry is, I think it's exactly what we all need.
This week I also had the pleasure of attending the B Kinder Foundation’s ‘Walk or Stand for Kindness’ event. It was a beautiful event that brought community members together to spread kindness and uphold the legacy of the lovely Billie Kinder, which you can read more about on page 3.
Attending the event and being welcomed so warmly really made me think about how I can incorporate more kindness into my own life.
Especially in light of Movember, it's important to be kind to others, as you never know what someone is going through. Even a smile could make someone's day.
