Really excited about ACAMS publishing my white paper on gold supply chains and the financial crime risks they pose to financial institutions. Please have a read.
I prepared this during my brief stint with ACAMS UK.
Gold often has complex supply chains, which can pose significant financial crime risks. In this new white paper, we explore:
⛏️ Notable typologies

It took me 8 years of overthinking, burnout, and self-judgment to realize what I’m about to tell you in 2 minutes.
This is how neurodivergent minds - the anxious, the hyper-focused, the “too intense” ones - were never broken:
I found a very beautiful Bible verse.❤️
NAHUM 1 :9
There will come a time when that problem won’t bother you again, not because you forgot, but because God ended it once and for all.
When you let God be your vindicator, He’ll take care of who’s trying to stop you. He’ll deal with the disrespect, the jealousy, the people who are doing you wrong. Don’t fight battles that don’t matter.
We wouldn’t know His power if we were never thrown into a fire. You wouldn’t know He was a healer if you never faced an illness. You wouldn’t know He could move mountains if you never faced a big obstacle. Quit complaining about what you’re up against; it’s not a surprise to God.
When you feel limited, when the obstacles look too big, when you’re hiding instead of shining, here’s how the Spirit of the Most High, the God who created you, is going to cause you to stand out. His Spirit will come on you powerfully to accomplish what He’s already purposed for your life, not by might, not by power, but by the Spirit of God.
Praise is what’s going to cause it to turn around. While you’re waiting for things to change, believing for breakthroughs, that’s when more than ever, you need to give God praise. Praise activates His power.
"Enough courage to get started + enough sense to focus on something you’re naturally suited for + enough persistence to stay in the game long enough to catch a few lucky breaks + a lot of hard work. There’s your recipe."

This morning Pastor Nath said we should personalize Psalms 136 after we had read the whole chapter.
I brought out my notepad and started writing mine line by line.
Because truly, when I looked inwards i realized my life is full of “for His mercy endures forever.”
Here are a few from mine:
✓ For the doors that opened when I didn’t even know how to knock : for His mercy endures forever.
✓ For the business that survived seasons I thought would swallow it: for His mercy endures forever.
✓ For the help that came quietly but right on time: for His mercy endures forever.
✓ For growth that didn’t make noise but made an impact: for His mercy endures forever.
✓ For battles that He fought and conquered for me: For His mercy endures forever.
Sometimes gratitude hits differently when you personalize it.📌
If you could see what God is doing behind the scenes in your life, you would be amazed. He’s already lined up the good breaks, the right people, solutions to problems. The new thing is not going to be ordinary. It’s going to catapult you ahead.
The older I get, the more I realize nothing changes if nothing changes. The new life you want doesn’t magically appear. It’s built through action. New habits. New mindsets. New standards. New boundaries. Reinvention has a cost of entry. Pay it with pride.
Many situations in life are similar to going on a hike: the view changes once you start walking.
You don't need all the answers right now. New paths will reveal themselves if you have the courage to get started.
God works where there’s faith. When He hears you thanking Him for something that you can’t see, praising Him for the promise when you could be complaining, that gets God’s attention. That’s when He'll make things happen that you couldn’t make happen.
The saddest thing about success is realizing how few people actually wanted to see you succeed. They smiled and cheered to your face but secretly hoped you’d fail. Learn to recognize that quiet envy. Cut those people from your life. Small circles create big outcomes.
