This blog post is dedicated to the Irish national Jill Meagher who was abducted, raped and murdered this week in Melbourne. I shot this blog post yesterday and have tossed over what to call it and whether to even post it in light of these devastating events, it just seems so trivial.
Jill was just about my age and was living in an area of Melbourne where I grew up and frequent. I know that many of my girlfriends this week have been absolutely shocked and devastated by this story, and it has naturally called in to question our own personal safety.
I understand that this is a departure from usual blog content, but I wanted to acknowledge this story because its really affected me this week.
Today is a new day, time for Jill’s family and the community as a whole to start to process this and heal.
