Title: The Uninvited Guest Called Loss. by Michael Whelan Sometimes I feel like I’m vanishing—just like the woman I love. There’s a quiet shame that clings to me now, not from guilt but from helplessness. Life has become so fragile so messy. Most days, the only thing holding me…

“All the Things I Never Thought I’d Have to Do.” by Michael Whelan I never thought I’d have to explain to the woman who once taught me how to live how to sit, how to stand, how to balance her trembling body on the edge of the bed how to find the bathroom door. I never imagined…

A little story about M&S vs Waitrose - and how kindness wins. On Monday I went to M&S to order sandwich platters for a parish event this weekend. They’re easier to drive to and park at than my local Waitrose. But the assistant told me their ordering system was still down due to…

Oh dear. It seems like the publishers & film-makers truly had the wool pulled over their eyes. Thank goodness for good journalism - well done @chloehadj for exposing this. Perhaps the whole enterprise should be rebranded The #PorkiePath

Utterly heartbreaking. This cannot continue. With no journalists allowed in that war zone, brave surgeons like Victoria Rose are saving lives but also acting as important witnesses. And their testimony is crucial.

REBECCA UPDATE It always starts the same way— a slight shift, a moment I can’t name, a glance from Rebecca that lingers a little too long in the space between what was and what now is. Yesterday, it was blood pressure: 200 over 100. Teeth chattering. Inability to walk. Eyes…

The Night They Didn't Come Just to clear up the other night. It was supposed to be just one hour. Sixty minutes... That was it. One hour to reconnect with twelve people who used to be a part of our every day. Friends. Colleagues. Chosen family. People I hired, mentored,…

Ghosted by the Ungrateful. I feel horrible. I'm the one who talked Rebecca into staying up way past her bedtime. "It would be nice to catch up with old friends from the past." I said with uncertain conviction. I should have known better. Rebecca was anxious about how she'd…

Seeing the fractal patterns that occur in nature: plants & flowers, shells, feathers etc dials down fight or flight activity in our brains & alleviates stress. This is due to ancestral foraging pathways in our brains that are still active. Zoom in to my photo if today's tricky:

When you have a child, pieces of your soul splinter and settle deep into their tiny bodies. As they grow, those pieces expand and connect, creating an entity that is entirely you, yet entirely independent. It's a feeling that can never be quantified. The disembodiment of the most…

As a cancer specialist, I find this level of journalism absolutely appalling. It’s hard to know where to begin, when the lack of understanding of how cancer might affect people is this poor. I’m more than happy to speak to @AllisonPearson to explain why this is so bad

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay‌ so we're being very sustainable by taking back all the books that people have read, putting them onto shelves for people to look through, then giving them out again to other people who haven't read them yet. It's a great system. ♻️ #Libraries
