Determined woman of purpose, every day is a testimony, trying to live right with the aid of God and chocolate.

This is beyond shocking. What could justify this? Manhandling an autistic teen with additional physical disabilities?

@DrLoupis Because she can, and because she’s been taught that’s the best she can be. ❤️‍🩹

This is a strangler fig tree, Inside this tree is a hollow space where a different tree stood

The strangler fig's seeds have made their way into the canopy of a host tree and germinated. As the fig's roots grow, they cascade down the trunk,
Once they are in the ground it competes for nutrients and water with the host. Then It gradually tightens its grip around the host tree

This process hinders the flow of water and nutrients, causing the host tree to weaken and eventually die. Over time, the strangler fig takes over completely, once the process is complete, the original tree decomposes, a hollow centre is all that remains to mark its existence

Reading this after the recent incident, and finding it claustrophobic and eerie. Anyone else?

@revkatebottley I had to stop watching at one point, as it got too gritty. Honest!

@AnnaAlls My freckles have morphed into age spots! Which is fine, as I’m older, but was a startling observation 😂

Dear @women .... ALL women. Any woman. This man is John Broadhurst. He put a spray carpet cleaner inside Natalie Connolly and twisted it to bring it out. He left her bleeding to death. This man is free after less than 2 years. Go nowhere near him. Tell all the women you know.

Ride #334 for Kelly Fauvrelle and her unborn baby Riley. Her ex partner broke into her parents home and stabbed her 21 times. Her baby was delivered after her death but later died. Her parents woke to her screaming and tried to save her. #RideForMurderedWomen

I think it’s really important right now to remember there is love, goodness, kindness, truth and beauty in the world. It’s still there. It’s perhaps more hidden and not in the places we wish it was. But it always wins through in the end if we keep following it. 🧡

Really enjoy this lady’s outlook.

[Miranda Hart @mermhart]

Lest this helps anyone: I’ve put on 40 pounds. I want to lose it as I feel less me. And it’s vital to be audaciously free to be ourselves. But whilst I reside in a bigger body I will not feel shame.There are many complex reasons for weight gain and losing it can be hard for many.

Do you trust him on safeguarding?

He said: “The positive nature of some child–adult sexual relationships ... sex with adults from the ages of nine to 13...gave them great joy...it may be impossible to condone paedophilia...not all sex with children is unwanted abusive harmful”
