I’m reading a book at the moment called What Women Really WantNeed. It’s really good and addresses issues not just for women but things that we all encounter by living in the world.

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
