For all who find today hard... you are loved, you are brilliant, God delights in you. You don't need cards, flowers or chocolates to give you value. Your true value comes from being a child of God who is made in his image. He loves you so much #ValentinesDay
Fab-u-lous evening at @SB_musical Strictly Ballroom the Musical at the New Theatre, Peterborough. Huge congratulations to all the cast - but especially @keviclifton - you were a-ma-zing!!! Thank you 🕺🕺
Off to @springharvest tomorrow for a quick visit to Skegness, doing a seminar “leading when you are not ok” at 2pm in lakeside. I am no expert in leadership but feels like more than ever we need leaders who understand empathy & compassion #SH2022#leadership#connection
Have people forgotten we are still living in a pandemic, life is not normal, our NHS is exhausted. We are working so hard having to adapt and keep pushing forward. People’s emotional reserves are thin, so for what is worth - Go Gently, Be Kind and Stay connected #covid

Whether we are black, white, left, right, short, tall, plump, skinny, rich, poor, gay, straight, old or young, we belong together. You’re my sister or brother. We are one race; the human race.
We will agree & disagree from time to time, but we’re interdependent. We are all one.
