I live in South Africa and work in the UK for a large part of the year. I started this journey to find a solution to stop packing my suitcase to go to work and be able to earn from my happy place which is home. I joined AVA to find my path and understand more about the best way forward to achieve my goals.

@Surina Joubert Love is in the air. Love has been proclaimed. Congratulations Surina on getting engaged. I got goosebumps. How absolutely beautiful and so special. I am INCREDIBLY happy for you!! Facebook reveals so much!!!!

Today was a good day for me. Ava is absolutely fantastic. I noticed that instead of me waking up and immediately being sucked into the negative thoughts and thinking about everything that's going wrong in my life, I immediately caught myself and regulated my thoughts.....Ava taught me that. One thing I would have done differently without Ava, i would have avoided sending an important text to somebody because I would have worried what they were going to think of me. Ava told me that i am avoidant and I fear rejection. But i sent that text, and i also followed up on a lead and got a commitment out of them.

Hi, my name is Mandy. I live in Bathurst in the Eastern Cape and work in the UK, living with adults who need care. Long hours and a longing to bridge the gap between being away and being at home brought me into the digital space. Recently I realized that I am burned out and need to work on me first to achieve my goals and peace of mind. I was introduced to AVA and this community in answer to my prayers. I also have ten rescue cats and would ultimately love to work from home to devote more time to helping felines in distress.
