Thank you, Rhiannon for all you do! 💙
In 2025, I got a new job, had a book out, celebrated my wife's graduation & new job, did The Artist's Way, read at poetry open mic, did 7 Pause for Thoughts, worked on a not-yet-done project, got on a waiting list for autism assessment, & recommitted to being a feeling, creative, passionate person.

📣 New Video! Right, so who ACTUALLY founded Quakerism? Lots of potential contenders and, no, it is not as simple as George Fox! I feel the pro-Foxite crowd will be on me again for this one! 😝

I have it on good authority that Father Christmas will be delivering it on Christmas Eve.
“This is a lovely, historically pluriform and aware book, offering a gentle critique of much ecclesiastical nonsense. A great read.”

How I wish this were the common understanding in the meetings I frequent! Instead it's book club + philosophical musings on The Meaning of Life + Advice for Prudent Living + What Friends Need To Do in The Present Political Crisis du Jour.
