Hello, members! Today marks the 163rd day of the year, and I (Jarred) hope all of you are doing fine! This is the perfect opportunity to take some time to remind ourselves that no matter what comes our way, we can always find ways to make it work. So, take a deep breath, set some goals for how you want to progress this week, and let's make today the best one yet. I'm excited to see what the day has in store for us all! Now why don’t we start with a mental exercise in the form of a riddle? It reads:
What is so fragile that when you say its name, you break it?
Hmm, what on Earth could this be? Hopefully, it’s no one’s favourite mug… If you know the answer, feel free to post it here on the forum! If you get the answer correct, you’ll get a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter. Enjoy, members!
Riddles aside, let's find out today's thrilling events happening all around the world and across Australia!
