3 years ago! Here’s to the time when we all spoke out and to what was truly a movement of hope, because that is what being human is really all about: #hope. And that’s what you all gave me 3 years ago and what I carry with me everyday. Thank you. 🙌 @MindCharity #itaffectsme

@lauradarrall: "One of the biggest challenges has been knowing that you can’t save the world in a day, that all things take time and persistence and love. And not taking on too much for yourself."

Easter Day by Mary Magdalene

It was 2016 when Mary Magdalene was finally given a feast day by the Pope and named Apostle to the Apostles. History has painted her often as merely a prostitute. With a bit of poetic licence, here’s how she *may* have felt about it... #MaryMagdalene

As we approach #Easter, here’s a little poem about light coming out of the darkness... 🕯

“For those of you who’ve given up on love, trust life a little.”
