Had a fabulous morning at the Business Bites morning hearing from the incredible Paula Pool from
Paula shared some great insights on how exercise, nutrition and mindset can help women maintain strength, energy confidence and overall wellbeing through every stage of life.
So many great takeaways.
And as always love catching up with Sharon Evans and the ladies from Queensland Country Bank. Chris and Tamara from Cosca Coutts Redington and Brenda Mudie from BRI Ferrier.

Another beautiful bunch of flowers arrived at the Cohen Legal office today from a grateful client. ๐Ÿ’

And considering we were sharing photos of flowers and cake from another client only ten days ago, it gave us reason to stop and reflect.

Our team are simply doing the work they love to do - helping people navigate legal matters, find a way forward and achieve the best outcome we can for them.

But when someone takes the time to send flowers afterwards, it means a great deal.

We may not always realise the impact of the conversations, reassurance, guidance and support that happen along the way.
Gestures like this remind us.

To our client, thank you. Your beautiful flowers were very much appreciated by the whole team. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ™

The strongest position isnโ€™t always the one with the loudest argument.
Sometimes itโ€™s the person who asked the right questions early, understood their options, and acted with a clear head.

So, whatever this week has in store:
Know where you stand.
Know what matters.
And donโ€™t leave important decisions until they become urgent ones.

Cohen Legal has been operating for 10 years and for 9 of those years Sharyn has been with us.
She is the backbone of our office and our wonderful conveyancer.
Sharyn's repeat clientele is a testament to her ability to communicate clearly with her clients guiding them through every aspect of their sale or purchase while all the time keeping the firm organised.
Needless to say we would be lost without Sharyn.
Thanks for 9 wonderful years Sharyn. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’•

Sam and Danni were totally blown away last night at the launch of .

5,000 original artworks by 5,000 mystery artists, all priced at just $100 each. The twist? You donโ€™t know who the artist is until after purchase!
This means the pieces are all purchased because of the connection you have with it - not the name of the artist.

All profits from the Incognito Art Show support the professional development of artists with disability through , and .

Well done to the team for coordinating and bringing this to town. This is the first time the show has gone to a regional centre. Highly recommend you to get along.
