Britain used to give a free drink of milk to every schoolchild every morning. The government should bring this back. Ideally gold top milk - supplied by local farmers.
All I want to do is sit on a front porch rocker for the rest of my life and watch the world go by.
Summer storms and winter snow. Springtime breeze and autumn leaves.
That's actually it.
After years of caring for dementia residents, I've personally helped dozens & watched a few of them get their memory back.
If you're starting to lose your memory, here is EXACTLY what I'd do first to improve it:🧵
this is why people reminisce.
a town of a few thousand once had a lido and a ballroom on the seafront. now it has a plaque showing you what was there.
we spend multiples of what that cost on welfare and consultants and have nothing to point at. the past isn’t overrated, the present is just grey.
I recently read about a psychologist in 1980s who healed an entire ward of criminally insane patients.
WITHOUT SPEAKING TO THEM.
WITHOUT ENTERING THE WARD.
WITHOUT LOOKING AT THEM.
He simply sat in his office, read their files, and repeated 4 phrases over and over while staring at their photos.
That's it.
Here's an incredible story that'll make you rethink healing and consciousness.
His name was Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len.
The technique he used is called Ho'oponopono.
It's a 5,000-year-old Hawaiian healing practice based on one radical premise: everything you experience is your responsibility to heal.
And, the 4 phrases he uttered weren't instructions to them.
They're instructions to himself:
• I'm sorry
• Please forgive me
• Thank you
• I love you
That's the entire protocol.
He repeated these while holding their file.
While thinking of them.
While acknowledging his role in their existence on their reality.
But how did it work?
Neuroscientists now know that holding resentment, anger, and blame literally reshapes your prefrontal cortex.
Your thoughts about someone change their neural pathways in YOUR brain.
When you release blame, you rewire yourself.
And something bizarre happens: they often change too.
Think about it this way.
You're not healing them directly.
You're healing your perception of them.
You're removing the energetic charge you've placed on their existence.
The moment you stop seeing them as guilty, dangerous, or broken, something shifts.
They sense it. They respond to it.
Dr. Len's insight was, "you can't change someone's behavior by confronting them. You change it by changing how you hold them internally."
By taking responsibility for how they show up in your reality.
By forgiving the part of yourself that attracted this person into your story.
So, the 4 phrases work because they bypass the conscious mind.
"I'm sorry" = I take responsibility for my role in this
"Forgive me" = I release the judgment I've been holding
"Thank you" = I recognize this person taught me something
"I love you" = I see their wholeness despite their actions
Repeat this 100 times a day and your nervous system reprograms.
When you genuinely forgive—not for them, but for you—something neurological shifts.
Your nervous system relaxes.
Your perception opens.
You see possibilities instead of problems.
And paradoxically, the people you forgive often transform.
Because you stopped projecting your pain onto them.
Start today.
➸ Pick one person who still has a charge for you.
➸ Repeat the 4 phrases 50 times while thinking of them.
➸ "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you."
Track what happens to your nervous system. To your thoughts about them.
The deeper you go with Ho'oponopono, the more you realize: everyone who appears in your reality is a mirror.
They're showing you something unhealed in yourself. Which means healing is always possible. Because the only person you can ever truly change is you.
A very simplified map of the main river catchment areas of Great Britain. It's extraordinary that rivers and streams as far south as Wolverhampton and even Solihull beyond Birmingham to as far north as the River Wiske just south of Darlington all ultimately feed the River Humber.

I like the interiors he paints
Family life’ i feel like I’ve lived in this house with my children.
Victorian houses I really do miss.
So here's the genius thing; London Underground didn't go for a Geography man to draw their map. They did something different in 1933. They went for an electrical man. A man who drew electricity circuits for his day job. The result was pure genius.
