What I actually do in a day
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
Some days are fairly productive. Example: Early morning coffee with Jimmi Buscombe (of wombat fame, 80K views! click here if you haven't seen it yet...) who is an exceptional artist, friend and mentor. Fixed something on my website in Salvador's first nap. I can't remember anything else from that day, but I'm sure I did lots. I remember it being fulfilling. I probably bought some paint or something.
Some days are less productive in terms of art. Perhaps I don't do anything, then 
drink wine when Sal's gone to bed. Today was half half. The thing is, it's almost impossible for me to do any of my art practice with my little one around. He's gorgeous and sweet, and well, quite needy. He just loves full on attention, just like, um, me. Can't really blame him. Today though, I decided to attempt to draw him even though he is NEVER still. I love looking at him and I wanted to capture something of the curve of his cute little bottom, his little legs, the way the hat I always make him wear doesn't really fit him anymore and sort of bulges on top of his head.
It felt so good to get my pencil out, while watching him entertain himself in the garden knowing I was close so he could come and check in (climb on me) any time he wanted. He even got familiar with some of my art materials!
At last it felt like I could draw and be a good mum at the same time.

The day I realized my $93,900 was gone, my world shattered. I’d poured my savings into a crypto platform called WealthWave, lured by promises of sky-high returns. The sleek website, glowing testimonials, and a charming advisor convinced me to invest. For weeks, my dashboard showed profits soaring. Then, I tried to withdraw. The site froze, excuses piled up verification delays, processing fees, until it vanished overnight. My savings, hard-earned over years as a teacher, were stolen. Shame and despair consumed me. I couldn’t tell my family. Desperate, I scoured forums like Reddit’s r/cryptoscams. Most recovery firms seemed like scams, demanding upfront fees with no results. Then I found a thread about Alpha Spy Nest, a cybersecurity team with a knack for tracing lost crypto. Skeptical but clinging to hope, I emailed them, sharing transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and screenshots. Within hours, their operative responded, no fluff, just a calm request for details. Alpha Spy Nest dove in, using blockchain forensics to trace my funds through a maze of mixers and wallets. They explained how scammers funneled my money to an offshore exchange. Alpha’s team, a mix of ex-hackers and analysts, worked tirelessly, updating me without jargon. They uncovered the funds in a dormant wallet tied to a sloppy scammer who’d left digital footprints. Collaborating with law enforcement, they froze the account, leveraging KYC policies to halt the assets. Days felt like years, but Alpha team steady updates kept me grounded. Then came the message, Check your wallet. Trembling, I opened my crypto app. There it was $89,000, nearly all my savings, minus minor fees. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover my money, they restored my trust. They advised securing my crypto in a cold wallet and vetting platforms. Their final words? Stay vigilant, scammers never sleep. Thanks to their relentless pursuit, I’m rebuilding my future, stronger and wiser. You can contact with them via: www.alphaspynest.org
After years of marital struggles, my husband and I were on the brink of divorce. Nothing seemed to work, no matter how hard we tried. A close friend recommended a ritual by Ilekhojie, a powerful spiritual practice that has helped many with relationship issues. Hesitant at first, we decided to give it a try. The ritual involved cleansing negative energies, restoring harmony, and invoking spiritual blessings for love and understanding. To my surprise, within weeks, things began to shift. Communication improved, and we found ourselves connecting on a deeper level. Arguments became less frequent, and there was a newfound sense of respect and trust. The ritual by Ilekhojie didn’t just heal our marriage—it revitalized it. It gave us the tools to rebuild our bond and reminded us of the love that first brought us together. I am forever grateful for this transformative experience. You can also give him a call for help. Email: gethelp05@gmail.com or Just text him via WhatsApp +2348147400259
