People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider's webs. It's not. Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of the cobblestones in her hair, and just spat out a tooth as she rises for another go.


It’s a cats life!

I LOVE doing the “thing” (coaching / delivering) … but the joy I get out of my team being amazing coaches / deliverers and going over and above is EVEN better! Proud of #TeamVGA this week … so much super stuff going on! Thank you @VGAGymnastics 👏

We had an absolutely brilliant time Freerunning this morning with the young people from ReWild. They were brave and pushed themselves to try new moves - and told us they really enjoyed the session - thank you coaches!! #GoGym

In wake of Sarah Everard, men were rallied to speak out against male violence. Instead #NotAllMen trended. Here we are again, Gisèle Pelicot’s case is a moment. Many men silent, again. “Everyday” men committed this, everyday men must speak out against it.independent.co.uk/voices/gisele-…


Interesting …

If you don’t have imposter syndrome you’re not pushing hard enough.

O.M.G. YES!!

The parentified daughter had to be the responsible and strong one because no one else was. She wants someone to lift her load, to care about what she feels, and to be a shoulder for her to cry on instead of keeping it together.

Today we mark 58 years since the Aberfan disaster - one of the bleakest days in our history. We will never forget those who lost their lives, most of them children. The strength shown by the community who faced the unimaginable continues to be a shining example to us all.
