It's my birthday tomorrow. (I'll give you a clue... next year's a big one! 😩😅) Seriously though, I'm so grateful for all that this year has brought... the move to Wales has been amazing, and I have been so welcomed by my school & community. Grateful to be seeing family this weekend to celebrate. ❤️🙏

A Gaelic Blessing by John Rutter (1978), thanks to Dan Clendenin at Journeys with Jesus. This was read aloud during my most recent visit to Salisbury Cathedral, as I sat in the Trinity Chapel, contemplating the blue-toned Prisoners of Conscience window, and it was beautiful.

I received this gorgeous El Águila de Veracruz baseball cap and a beautiful hummingbird necklace from my good friend, Liz, a fellow teacher, in México. So grateful! She's helped with my Spanish so much. ❤️⚾️

I lit a candle for Pope Francis at St. George's Cathedral in Southwark today. He was a much-needed voice for the poor and for migrants, for love and acceptance, for justice and peace, and I will miss him. With gratitude for his leadership, and prayers that his successor will continue his work. ❤️

As a Brit who loves Canada (which Brit doesn't?), this gave me a little moment of childish joy. 😅❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧

Tomorrow, April 17th, is my beloved Grandad's heavenly birthday. He was, and still is, one of the greatest influences on my life. 22 years in the Royal Air Force to coaching wheelchair basketball at an international level, leading the British and Jamaican teams to Paralympics... An inspiration. ❤️🙏

I agree. This doesn't mean bury your head in the sand... it means continue to absorb the things that bring you life and remind you of the beauty and goodness in the world. Music, books, art, conversation, nature... all so vital. ❤️

I haven't quite got used to my occasional glasses yet (though I'm finding I have to wear them more and more often these days!) Wishing you peace and relaxation today, whatever you're up to. Beautiful weather here in Wales. Proximity to the sea always lifts the spirits. 🏴
