Spend your tune wisely you’ll never get it back– that’s my message to the world.
Yesterday I had the honour of spending my afternoon and evening with my Restore Trust family as they celebrated 10 YEARS of making a difference in the lives of vulnerable babies. I LOVED THE MUSIC but more than the music my eyes followed Michelle across the venue – the whole time thinking “How can someone be so normal and so extraordinary at the same time?” (the Michelle I’m used to teaches me interesting baby facts and plays on the floor with babies but yesterday I realized Michelle can do whatever is required of her – even Matthew Mole can’t hold my attention when Michelle Rielly is present. Michelle you were extra-incredible last night I LOVE YOU ) http://www.restoretrust.co.za/projects/breath-of-life/
