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 sting of betrayal still burned as I stared at my empty crypto wallet. Months ago, I’d fallen for a slick online investment scam promising sky-high returns. My life savings of $50,000 painstakingly built over years, vanished in a single transaction. Desperate to reclaim it, I turned to online crypto recovery experts, only to be scammed again, losing another $5,000 to fake experts who disappeared after empty promises. Hope was fading, and shame weighed heavy. Then, a friend mentioned Alpha Spy Nest Recovery Experts, a group with a reputation for tackling complex crypto scams. Skeptical but with nothing left to lose, I reached out.The initial contact was different. No flashy guarantees or pushy sales pitches. I recounted my ordeal. They asked for transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and screenshots of communications with the scammers. Their team explained how specialized they are in blockchain forensics and had a track record of tracing illicit crypto transfers. I hesitated, scarred from past betrayals, but their transparency and detailed process gave me a flicker of trust. Alpha Spy Nest began their work immediately. They trace my stolen funds through a maze of blockchain transactions, identifying wallets linked to the scam. They explained how scammers often move funds through multiple addresses to obscure their tracks, but their proprietary software could map these patterns. Within days, they uncovered that a portion of my funds had been transferred to an exchange still holding the assets. The challenge was legal recovery. Their legal team stepped in, coordinating with authorities and the exchange to freeze the funds. It wasn’t easy, scammers had used fake identities, and international jurisdictions complicated matters. But Alpha Spy Nest’s persistence paid off. After weeks of negotiations, they recovered $48,300 of my original investment. It wasn’t everything, but it was a lifeline. Throughout, Alpha Spy Nest kept me updated, never sugarcoating the odds. When the funds hit my account, relief washed over me. I wasn’t whole, but I had a chance to rebuild. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover money; they restored my belief that not everyone online is out to deceive. Their expertise and dogged determination pulled me back from the brink, proving there are still fighters in the shadows for people like me. Reach out to them via: www.alphaspynest.org

Bitcoin trading scam on dating sites Review // Passcode Cyber Recovery
My name is Annabel Wiils from Canada! Life hasn’t been easy but I’ve done everything I can to raise my two boys right after losing my husband. Being a single mother is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do but I’ve taken it one day at a time determined to give them a good life. After years of focusing only on them I finally felt ready to put myself out there again and try dating. I joined a dating app and quickly connected with a man who seemed thoughtful, sincere and financially intelligent. He told me he was involved in Bitcoin trading and had done well for herself. More than that he said he wanted to help me build a better future for my kids. I’ll admit I was touched. He said all the right things. Over the next few weeks we talked constantly. He never pushed, just encouraged me and gave small pieces of financial advice. Eventually she told me about a private trading pool his team used. It was supposedly low risk with high return. He even showed me screenshots of his growing profits. I wanted to believe him. I wanted to believe in something again. So I did it. I transferred 2 Bitcoin to the wallet address he gave me. The next morning he disappeared. His profile was gone. All of our messages were deleted. My Bitcoin was gone too. I felt absolutely crushed. For days I couldn’t sleep. I blamed myself for falling for it. I didn’t even want to tell anyone what had happened until a coworker noticed I wasn’t myself. When I finally told him he said one name: Passcode Cyber Recovery. I contacted Passcode Cyber Recovery without much hope but they surprised me. From the first call they treated me with respect and urgency. Their investigators trace the scammer’s wallet and they freeze assets. Two weeks later they recovered 1.3 BTC. No it wasn’t everything. But it was enough to restore my faith. More importantly, someone fought for me. I wasn’t just another online victim, I was a mother trying to do the right thing. I didn’t find love. But I found justice and a way forward for my boys. I’ll always be grateful.
