Students at @sussex.ac.uk voted me Most Respected Lecturer and Funniest Lecturer in their yearbook! Genuinely might cry. 🥹

Next year, Best Dressed! 🤣

During a crisis of loneliness we desperately need leaders who can create community. Social Alchemy offers 5 elements that can be used to create community in any organisation:
🪨 Earth - Structure
🔥 Fire - Relationships
💨 Air - Ideas
💧 Water - Aesthetics
✨ Quintessence - Purpose

As dusk falls, Ella knows it’s time for Kolten to come home. She sits up like this, staring at the door, until he arrives. 🥰 #EllaEveryday

I am 42 today! Happy and thriving with my wonderful husband Kolten, my gorgeous chihuahua Ella, and my job as University Chaplain at the University of Sussex! My YouTube channel, Deep Humanism, will launch tomorrow. Love and best wishes to you all.

Picture of Ella for clout.

Preparing to sign our holiday concert with @resoundvoices.bsky.social, and since we were directed to accessorise with gold, it was a chance to get out a very old Harvard Humanists pin! Blast from the past, @gregmepstein.bsky.social and @chrisdstedman.bsky.social! 😍

Glorious baby naps in the sunlight. #EllaEveryday

Ella loves this seat at the cafe, because it enables her to greet everyone who joins the line for food. 🤣 #EllaEveryday

This is Ella’s favourite blanket. She ADORES everything about it. She will burrow into it and not move for hours. It came over from America with her, so perhaps it reminds her of home. #EllaEveryday

Ella LOVES the chairs in my office at @sussexuni.bsky.social! She is the university’s unofficial emotional support animal. 🥰 #EllaEveryday

I’ve decided to post a photo of our dog Ella every day. So here’s the first #EllaEveryday! You can see a vintage London Transport bus destination sign in the background - it says “To and from THE BOAT RACE” and is in Oxford and Cambridge blue!

Last night I got to go to dinner at Lincoln’s Inn with my husband Kolten. I’m constantly wondering how I got so lucky as to marry such a beautiful (in all senses) man. 🥰

My father Fred was a legal advisor to John Prescott while he was Deputy PM - loved working with him. He told me how he used to come to meetings and eat all the sandwiches - he would enter with a cry of “Ooh! Butties!”

When my father died I wrote to (then Lord) Prescott and received this kind reply.
