Oh my gosh, my home made soup and bread is even more delicious than I was expecting. Such a wonderful wintry food, hot, filling, delicious, and now time for a nap.

As if to prove the stereotype men will do anything to avoid ironing, I’ve spent the day finishing a pot of soup and starting a proper homemade broth.
Soup nearly ready, some going to my neighbour later. Snow days, slow food, simple joys. 🥣❄️

The world needs a reset. My IT mate Russ would say: “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”
Switch off outrage & doom. Switch on relationships, health, kindness, and purpose. Choose light. Choose love.

Ten years in the US reshaped me through loss, betrayal, injury, reinvention, and clarity. Adversity didn’t end my story; it refined it.

Tehran, Iran.
They shut off the street lights to scare people back into their homes.
It did not work.
Iranians are standing stronger than ever, in the dark, without fear.
I stand with these brave people.

A funeral and a baptism on the same day.
Loss and renewal side by side.
A reminder of what matters: family, love, kindness, people.

A beautiful convergence of moments, Winter Solstice, Hanukkah, Christmas, all reminding us that light returns.
Extra joy today, as my father turns 95 soon and is still going strong.
Choose joy.
Light and love to all.

Last Friday night, I attended the Wake CountyBar Association’s 100th Anniversary at the Angus Barn, a joyful celebration of a century of legal service. Grateful to my friend Eva Kang for the invitation, and it's lovely to reconnect with colleagues. #lawyersofbluesky

You don’t need to react when someone attacks you. Stay centred, stay calm, and lead from strength, not emotion. Grace under pressure is a superpower.
