@ianhanomansing I love this! Diane’s a friend of mine and I know for a fact she was thrilled to meet you! (I would be too!)

Love travel coincidences like this: dropped in to a random CVS in Redondo Beach and the woman behind the counter asked me how I was doing. Turns out she wanted to double check who I was by hearing my voice. She's originally from Canada, watches CBC online and we have some acquaintances in common from her old hometown, 150 Mile House. Nice moment, great conversation.

@strategywoman Absolutely! Stay strong. We're with you all the way.

3:15 pm in #Kyiv I have a very quick question for you: Do you still support Ukraine? Sometimes I feel that less & less people care. ♥️

@tanis_em Oh no. Hoping you won't have to evacuate. Stay safe! What a shit show!

@strategywoman My heart is heavy for you and your beautiful country. Stay strong, stay safe.

9:52 am in #Kyiv At night at town Rzhyshchiv, Kyiv oblast (82 km from Kyiv) two residential buildings and dormitory were hit. Innocent people were killed again. I don’t know what to add.

@IuliiaMendel Wow. The resilience is epic.

Russia launched massive attacks on Ukraine. I was hiding in the bathroom, my neighbors were sitting in our common corridor when a visitor appeared from the stairwell. It was a delivery man who climbed to the 15th floor to bring us the food that we had ordered the day before 👇

@strategywoman Thanks for asking. I’m babysitting my precious 1 year old grandson and loving every moment. Hope you are well!

3:56 pm in #Kyiv I have a question for you. How are you? We’re more than just ‘this woman writes about her life in the war’. We’re like a family here. Quite big, yes. Windy hugs (we have a strong wind today).

@strategywoman 🇨🇦 Don't lose hope! We're with you!!

12:15 am in #Kyiv Another power outage. But it’s ok. My favorite tweets are the ones when I ask which country you are from. A lot of replies, flags give me some hope: - Ok. We’re not alone yet. We’re not forgotten. Let’s do this again? Please don’t forget Ukraine ♥️

@Rainmaker1973 Ferdinand!

@strategywoman Each morning, I think of you. Each coffee I drink comes with a wish for the end of this war so that you can drink your coffee in peace.

2:32 pm in #Kyiv Air raid alert again. Dear world, it’s not a reality show. It’s a true war. So some your comments may hurt. We are 11 months in this war already. We live with air raid alerts, attacks, deaths, damages. I’m deeply upset.

@nathaliejacoby1 CP Air (Canadian Pacific). I was a flight attendant in the good ol' days.

@strategywoman Wishing you all the best in 2023!

1:22 pm in #hometown The train is in a few hours. I went to say goodbye to my Pine Tree. Forest is so calm today. So magic.

You either see endings or new beginnings. Over time, how we write the story determines how we experience it in reality.

@strategywoman Wishing you a safe and happy birthday!

6:47 am in #Kyiv Early morning in Ukraine. At night we were attacked by drones. New damages. No power. Still have water & heating. I’m filling with water everything I have. Ok. It’s really ‘unforgettable’ birthday start.

@jannarden Oh, that just brought back a flood of happy memories. Thank you!

Greatest Christmas present of all time was a book of lifesavers. The new ones are crap- but the ones in the seventies were absolutely epic. 10 rolls.

@strategywoman A Christmas Story

7:59 pm in #Kyiv Good evening, dearest world. While I’m waiting for Friday evening #warcoffee & some dinner, could you please share your favorite Christmas movies? For long December evenings ❄️

@strategywoman I'm so grateful for your tweets at any time. I check every day to see that you're ok. Stay well. Stay safe.

10:05 am in #Kyiv You might see this tweet later. Yes. No power (or electricity?) - how to say it better? Internet connection is slow (almost absent). #warcoffee outside. I’m happy to have it anyway 💃

@MMadryga I'm so very sorry for your loss Mark. 💕

Matt, it is four years since losing you. The hardest four years of our lives, and such a huge void in our hearts without you. We miss you so much and love you forever. 💝 💕

@strategywoman Yay! Congratulations!

6:13 pm in #Kyiv I’ve passed 💃😱 Dear world, I’ve passed.

@tanis_em @robdelaney That was really hard to read, but I'm glad I did. Raw truth. My stomach is full of rocks.
