Love, love that the new Boss comes round and even though she doesn’t naturally warm to Patience she begins to include and value her. β™₯️

Season 2 of C4’s Patience: the arrogant new boss fails to see the value and brilliance of Patience’s neurodivergent brain. This is not uncommon in workplaces. #Autism #ADHD #Misunderstood #Heartbreaking

Praying, Bishop Andrew gave me words of encouragement when I really needed it once. Kindness I will never forget.

Photography is an art which brings you in contact with the universe. You must encounter the world as it is, not how you imagine it to be, and continue looking. If you return to a spot more than once, it will be different every time. #naturephotographers #photographersofbluesky #photography

I met one in Southwark a few years back - not sure if she is still alive. She showed me the beautiful cross pendant they were given to wear - I was rather taken with it!

Take from us, Lord Jesus,
the sense of complacency
and carelessness
that pulls us away
from your priorities
of peace, justice,
mercy and love,
and makes us seek
the comfortable
and the familiar
before the challenging
and the right.
Give us a share
in your passions.

The magic of woods. Trees often do for me what the sea always does - soothes and quietly ministers to my soul.

There is something about discovering an old door - it feels like the cover of a book - with so many stories to tell.

Not really - definitely a thing but we all experience things slightly differently. That goes for every illness and condition - there are things in common and some differences too. And ADHD is both a normal human trait AND a recognised disability - it is both.

Interesting - I’m also ADHD and would find that super distracting and overwhelming unless I really, really loved what I was doing.

Follow your own path. One of the absolute joys of life is we never know where it can take us. Explore, keep an open mind, be curious in all things, and always challenge your own views. There is more that binds us than divides us, even in today’s polarised world. Life is precious. Live it. ❀️
