What I actually do in a day

Posted by Caroline Valpied on

Gutsy the Wombat by Jimmi BuscombeSome 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 Drawings of my babydrink 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.

  • It started innocently enough. I was introduced to a cryptocurrency investment opportunity through someone I met in a social media trading group. The person seemed legitimate, knowledgeable, and patient. They even showed screenshots of successful trades, withdrawals, and glowing testimonials from other “investors.” I did some basic research, and everything appeared above board. The platform looked professional. The returns, though high, weren’t entirely unreasonable. So, I started with a small amount. I saw immediate “profits” on the dashboard. Encouraged, I invested more. And more. Eventually, over the course of two months, I had put in everything I had my savings, some borrowed funds, even emergency money I had set aside for my parents’ healthcare. In total: $119,000. Then, one day, I tried to withdraw. Nothing. The support stopped responding. The site kept saying there were “technical issues.” I started Googling the company again and noticed warnings I had missed. Forums, Reddit threads, complaints all about how people had been scammed the same way. My stomach dropped. I had been conned. At first, I was too ashamed to tell anyone. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror. I felt like a failure. I was constantly on edge, paranoid, angry, and deeply depressed. My financial future was shattered, and I had no idea how to even begin recovering. Then I stumbled upon a post about Malice Cyber Recovery in a tech security forum. I was skeptical honestly, I thought it might be another scam. But I was desperate. I read every review I could find. Their team had helped others in similar situations recovering stolen crypto, tracing wallets, even working with law enforcement in some cases. I reached out, not expecting much. But from the very first interaction, something felt different. They didn’t overpromise. They didn’t guarantee miracles. They just listened to everything I had to say. No judgment. No rush. They laid out a clear process, explained how crypto recovery works, and told me exactly what they would need. I felt, for the first time in months, a glimmer of hope. The process was not easy it took several weeks of digging, tracing blockchain transactions, identifying the movement of funds, and preparing reports. But the Malice Cyber Recovery team kept me updated at every step. They were meticulous, professional, and persistent. They worked with a network of ethical hackers and legal consultants to track the movement of my funds across multiple wallets and mixers. And then, one day, I got the email: $119,000 successfully recovered. I broke down crying. To see that balance hit my account again… it felt like waking up from a nightmare. I still can’t believe it sometimes. I genuinely thought the money was gone forever. Malice Cyber Recovery didn’t just help me recover stolen money they gave me back my life. They gave me back my peace of mind, my future, and my self worth. If you’re reading this and you’ve been scammed I know how humiliating and devastating it feels. But don’t give up. Don’t let the scammers win. Reach out to the right people. For me, that was Malice Cyber Recovery
