T-6 till #genchat on Blueksky!

Today's tip: on Bluesky, there are 3 ways to follow the #genchat conversation:

2 - follow the official #genchat feed. Caveat: there is a few-seconds delay;

This is me. Non Genealogy post here BUT I’ve been on a weightloss journey for the last 8 months, and I’m down almost 4 stone!

I’m the most happy and confident person I’ve ever been and that’s an incredible thing for me to be and see in myself.

I finally like and love who I am.
