Have A Chat With Hannah

Hi lovely readers!

This edition is packed with stories of resilience, empowerment and beauty as we celebrate the wonderful women of our region for International Women’s Day.

Of course, we can’t feature every amazing woman… otherwise our paper would never end!

But on pages 12–18, you’ll find plenty who have been instrumental not only in the success of their businesses but also in strengthening their community.

It was a real honour to interview established women in our region, hearing their life advice and greatest achievements.

I also celebrated my own hero last weekend – my mother, who turned 54! We enjoyed a lovely dinner out with my mum, dad, sister and my husband Adam, then had her over for cake and tea at our place.

Today (Friday, 6 March), I’ll be attending the Resource Industry Network International Women’s Day Lunch, and on Sunday, I’m looking forward to the Zonta International Women’s Day High Tea.

On a personal note, I’m delighted to share that I’m now a cat mum! I rescued a cat from Mackay Pet Rescue Inc, and she’s such a wonderful addition to our little family.

It’s been a busy, joyful week, and I hope you all have a fantastic week ahead.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Scripture of the week: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” - John
