Once upon a time, Teresa said "just fostering."Four cats later — meet the family. 🐱🐱🐱🐱Her husband didn't stand a chance. Neither did she. That's the thing about foster fails: they're not failures at all.They're the moment a rescue stops passing through and starts belonging. 🏠❤️Teresa found her family through Tails Lantau and we're honoured to be part of this feline family and also to be feeding @tails.lantau dogs AND cats! 🐾 by @tmahk

Stepped out of my comfort zone tonight and attended my very first Hong Kong Toastmasters Club meeting as a guest 🎤✨ @hktoastmastersclub What a refreshing experience to be in a room full of brave speakers! People who willingly stand up, share their stories, challenge themselves, and grow out loud. I had so much to learn, made some great new connections, and shared a few laughs along the way.I’ve always wanted to attend Toastmasters and take my speaking and event hosting to the next level and this might just be the perfect way to do it. It’s not every day, as adults, that we intentionally put ourselves in situations that stretch us. Huge applause to everyone who spoke tonight 👏 You inspire me.Here’s to growth, courage, and saying yes to new rooms 💫 #Toastmasters #PublicSpeaking #expatlife #ComfortZone #hongkonggirl by @tmahk

🙏🏼 My yearly thyroid ultrasound day!As we get older, our thyroid can change in ways we don’t always feel right away. Most routine bloodwork only checks basic thyroid function (like TSH), but that doesn’t always tell the whole story. You can have normal thyroid levels and still have underlying autoimmune activity. That’s why it’s important to ask about a Thyroid Antibodies Test (like TPO and Tg antibodies) in addition to standard labs.Autoimmune thyroid conditions (like Hashimoto’s (which I have) or Graves’) often show up first through antibodies — sometimes years before major symptoms. And for women especially, autoimmune issues will get masked and muddled if perimenopause is at play, as well, making getting diagnosed more difficult.An ultrasound is also a simple, non-invasive way to:• Check for nodules • Monitor changes in size or texture • Catch potential issues early Early detection = more options, better outcomes, and peace of mind.Advocate for your health. Ask questions. Don’t settle for “you’re fine” if you don’t feel fine. 💛#ThyroidHealth #HashimotosAwareness #AutoimmuneHealth #hongkonggirl #expatlife by @tmahk

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July, From Currently Stormy ⛈️ Hong Kong 🇭🇰Living as an American expat in Hong Kong has given me perspective. Being far from home makes you reflect on where you come from — the freedoms, the opportunities, the culture that shaped you. No country is perfect (and we all know the politics can be… a lot), but I’ll always be grateful to have been born American.Distance has only deepened my appreciation — for the diversity, the resilience, the spirit of innovation, and the idea that we can keep striving to be better. That’s something worth celebrating. ✨Today I’m celebrating independence, growth, and the privilege of calling two places home. 🌏Happy 4th of July from Hong Kong! 🇺🇸🎆🇭🇰 And thanks @treasureislandhk for good burgers 🍔 and 🎵 vibes!#FourthOfJuly #AmericanAbroad #ExpatLife #HongKongLiving #Grateful IndependenceDay by @tmahk
