My greatest wish is that Joe be remembered for all the wonderful traits that made him, him❤️ because everyone deserves to be remembered for the beauty and light of their story and not just it’s ending….
Grief isn't a malaise to get past or over. It is the ever-present expression of loss and love. I find it here, and there. In all the moments steeped in tender reminders of a life lived. In laughter shared, and tears both of joy and sadness. In times alone, and together.
“I want to do that someday.”…”I’m going to do that someday.”
A habit we all get into. One day, there is no more someday. Whatever “that” is for you, just do it! Life is precious, live it now. Not someday. #FightLikeAGirl#ALS
We call upon LGBT+ people, friends, allies, family members, businesses and voluntary sector organisations to stand up and say enough. Enough of erasing and attacking some of the most marginalised communities in our society.

Trans people are not an ideology. They are not a problem that needs to be solved. They are human beings. They are our friends, family and colleagues and they deserve to live their lives with dignity, respect and free from discrimination.
I'm not sure what feels more dangerous - the strange rhetoric being passed off as 'serious politics' at a certain event, or dismissing it as sheer weirdness. We are living in dangerous times, and we simply can't walk on by.
it is so sad, that the term 'woke', an AAVE term, that means to simply be 'awake to injustice' has become this highly politicised term, spat out with venom by the most hateful people.
how so very sad, to make the world more hateful, instead of more loving.
"Something deep in the human soul seems to depend on the presence of kindness; something instinctive in us expects it, and once we sense it we are able to trust and open ourselves."
John O’Donohue
“People you love never die. They don't die. Not completely. They live in your mind, the way they always lived inside you. You keep their light alive. If you remember them well enough, they can still guide you, like the shine of long extinguished stars could guide ships in unfamiliar waters…
