@InnovationMatt Thank you for this comment. I have been saying this for years. I work in health care and have been desperate not to be 'promoted' beyond my usefulness/competence. Do you have any references or research I could look at that reflects this?

@strategywoman Merry Christmas from The Peace Table

8:16 am in #hometown Good morning from Ukraine! A fog has covered our tiny place on the Earth. Today my Mom is 65. Later My Sister with her children will visit us. - No celebrations. It’s war. - Mom said. Happy Birthday. Mom. Please be here as long as you can ♥️

@strategywoman Keep strong.

8:07 am in #Kyiv Victory refuses to eat now. She’s just sitting on the windowsill. I’m having #warcoffee. Air defense is working 🙏 It’s not the best morning I’ve ever had in my life. But being alive is not too bad 💃

@strategywoman I will be swimming. This is a gate made by by blacksmith mate to look like grass. The Peace Table is downstairs so I looked for an interesting photo on my phone.

10:40 am in #Kyiv Good morning from Ukraine! It’s one of the mornings when #warcoffee & power at home. Lazy Saturday is hugging my day. Some grocery (if there will be power), coffee-meeting in the afternoon. What will your Saturday look like, dear world?

@strategywoman Frome boulder rooms. It's been a long time. The Peace Table still supports you Yaroslava.

12:21 pm in #Kyiv Here it’s me & my #warcoffee again. No power lady is having meetings at the invincibility center 💃 Join me with coffee/tea?

@strategywoman Good morning Yaroslava. As the weather gets colder the power cuts will hit harder I am sure. Stay strong. The Peace Table is busy after a bit of an absence.

7:58 am in #Kyiv Cold (outside) morning from Ukraine! Having lazy home #warcoffee as there’s power. You know what? Soon going to the office. Hope our neighbors won’t be bombing us today. The weather? I’ve seen better. Rain decided that it’s ice now.

@strategywoman We should take a leaf from your book and enjoy what we can in the moment. For The Peace Table and me it is a pause before the day. Who knows when the lights will go out.

8:40 am in #Kyiv Good morning from Ukraine! Mornings with power are always good. I’m having #warcoffee & a big smile for you. We were informed that today we’re going to have emergency power outages. So it’s one more reason to enjoy what I have right now. Sunny hugs 🤗

@pinkrosenz @strategywoman Thanks Karen I think you have had a recent accident. I hope you recover well. Do what you can, and if you can’t, don’t.

@HooperGeoff @strategywoman Busy Saturday.. Well done to your daughter💖

10:38 am in #Kyiv Late morning from Ukraine! I had so great sleep. So now is ready for #warcoffee & absolutely lazy day 🙃 Power is still here. 2 outages for 4 hours are ahead. Have a great Saturday, dear world!

@ClareRaynor @strategywoman All good thanks.

@HooperGeoff @strategywoman Hi hope all well ❤

9:35 am in #Kyiv Good morning from the capital of the brave! Such a great start: power, #warcoffee, Victory (still a cat) nearby. Oh, dear world, you’re kind as usual in your support. I’ve read yesterday replies. Today I’m super fine. The life journey is going on.

@strategywoman @PaddyDavidson1 May your ships not sink and your coffee, like you, stay strong. The Peace Table is ready to go to work.

8:37 am in #Kyiv Morning from Ukraine! and from #warcoffee from Ireland. @PaddyDavidson1 thank you for a morning mood! So coffee, power, Friday, good news from frontline on the one hand. Bombing & damages in Mykolaiv on the other hand.

@strategywoman Morning Yaroslava et al. This morning swimming, this afternoon our towns monthly market, then tea with my Mum.

9:37 am in #Kyiv Good morning from Ukraine! #warcoffee at home means we have power. No plans for today. Just sweet nothing. Your plans for Sunday?

@strategywoman Not The Peace Table. Our front room. Hope you find your War Coffee.

9:53 am in #Kyiv Morning from Ukraine. No power for a few hours. No #warcoffee So now I’m going out to find it. In search for coffee woman 😎

8:10 am in #Kyiv Again. The explosions woke me up. Already heard 3.

@strategywoman Our clocks go back, so the night staff have to work an extra hour, poor things. And I slept through my extra hour in bed which seemed a bit of a waste. Today The Peace Table has a tiny elastic band on it. Apropos of nothing.

9:46 am in #Kyiv (according to winter time). Today our clocks go back for 1 hour. Yours? Going to have #warcoffee. Yes, we have power. And it’s a good start of looong day.

@strategywoman The shopping list for the Christmas Cake torn on The Peace Table. May hands heel and power remain.

9:23 am in #Kyiv Morning from the capital of the brave! Some attacks at night on Kyiv oblast. No electricity till the morning. But-but. I can say that I’m lucky as power is here now & I can make #warcoffee (already made). Hands are not bad too. Morning hugs 🤗

@strategywoman The All Clear must be a great relief. Or is it just normal for you? The Peace Table abstracted.

9:36 am in #Kyiv #warcoffee 💃 and air siren all clear!

8:30 pm in #Kyiv It was a looong working day. Light dinner now. With power & #warcoffee. Yes-yes, we work here. Sometimes it’s not so easy (when blackouts or bombing). Evening hugs 🤗

@strategywoman Start of thee week and The Peace Table is uncharacteristically bare. Let us see what the week throws at it.

9:02 am in #Kyiv Good morning from the capital of the brave! It’s Monday here. And it’s calm. Just had #warcoffee (black, without sugar). Ready to start new working week. May you have a wonderful day/night! ♥️
