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 all started when I stumbled upon a Telegram group that promised incredible returns on investments. The admin claimed that if I sent 0.5 Bitcoin (BTC), I would receive double my investment within just 24 hours. As a college student eager to make some extra money, the prospect of quick profits was too enticing to ignore. I watched as others in the group shared their success stories, boasting about how they had turned small investments into substantial gains. Their excitement fueled my own hopes, and I felt a rush of adrenaline at the thought of joining their ranks.I decided to take the plunge. I transferred my 0.5 BTC, convinced that I was making a smart financial decision. The initial thrill of the investment quickly turned into anxiety as I waited for the promised returns. Hours passed, and I kept checking the group for updates, but the excitement I had felt began to wane. Instead of the anticipated messages celebrating our profits, the group fell silent.Then, the unthinkable happened. The admin deleted all messages, and the group vanished into thin air. Panic set in as I realized that I had been scammed. I wasn’t alone; over 200 others had also fallen victim to this scheme, collectively losing a staggering 20 BTC. The weight of my decision crashed down on me, and I felt a mix of anger, shame, and helplessness. I had trusted the promises made by the admin, and now I was left with nothing but regret.In the days that followed, I grappled with the reality of my loss. I felt like a fool for believing in the quick returns that had been dangled in front of me. However, a glimmer of hope emerged when I learned about PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY, a firm specializing in cryptocurrency recovery. They had identified the scammers and were working diligently to recover the stolen funds. I followed their progress with a sense of cautious optimism, hoping that they could bring justice to those of us who had been wronged.To my relief, PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY successfully traced the stolen Bitcoins and managed to recover all the funds. This outcome was a bittersweet victory for me. While I was grateful to have my investment returned, the experience served as a harsh lesson about the dangers of the cryptocurrency world. I realized that the promise of quick returns often comes with significant risks, and I vowed to be more cautious in the future.This experience has left me more aware of the importance of conducting thorough research and verifying the legitimacy of any investment opportunity.

  • RECOVER CRYPTO ASSETS, RECLAIM STOLEN BITCOIN HIRE BLOCKCHAIN CYBER RETRIEVE

    The business deal that led to my unfortunate encounter with a scammer was centered around a promising investment opportunity in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market. My partner and I had been exploring various avenues to diversify our investment portfolio, and we identified a particular project that showed great potential for growth. This project involved a new blockchain technology aimed at enhancing transaction speeds and reducing costs for businesses, making it an attractive proposition in the competitive landscape of digital currencies.After conducting thorough research and due diligence, we decided to move forward with an initial investment. The plan was to contribute a significant amount of capital to secure a stake in the project, which would not only provide us with potential returns but also allow us to be part of an innovative venture. We had been in discussions with the project’s founders, who were enthusiastic about their vision and had a solid roadmap for development.As part of the investment process, we agreed to make a deposit in XRP, a cryptocurrency known for its efficiency in cross-border transactions. The amount we settled on was 10,000 XRP, which was approximately $5,000 at the time. We communicated frequently about the logistics of the transaction, including the deposit address where the funds were to be sent. This was a critical step, as it would ensure that our investment was securely allocated to the project. During our communications, the scammer intercepted our messages and cleverly manipulated the deposit address. Unbeknownst to me, I was led to believe that I was sending the funds to the legitimate project wallet. The moment I completed the transaction, I felt a sense of accomplishment, thinking I was taking a significant step toward a lucrative investment. That feeling quickly turned to dread when I realized that the funds had not reached the intended recipient.The urgency of the situation escalated as I attempted to contact my partner and verify the transaction. It became clear that I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam, and the realization of losing such a substantial amount of money was overwhelming. This prompted me to seek immediate assistance, leading me to BLOCKCHAIN CYBER RETRIEVE who I hoped could help me navigate this distressing situation.The business deal, which initially held so much promise, had turned into a nightmare due to the actions of a scammer. However, the swift recovery of my funds by BLOCKCHAIN CYBER RETRIEVE not only salvaged my financial investment but also reinforced the importance of vigilance and security in cryptocurrency transactions. This has since made me more cautious and informed in my future dealings, ensuring that I take the necessary precautions to protect my investments.
