You are a gift. Made with love.
Wriggle your body a bit, relax, let go of tension, close your eyes. Take a deep breath in… and slowly out. Open your eyes and look at yourself in the mirror. As you breathe, silently repeat: “I am a gift. Made with love.”

Hey Jon - thanks for reaching out! We’ve actually just announced a digital transformation programme, which doesn’t ‘technically’ cover AV, but it’s just gone live so there is lots to scope. Feel free to get in touch via the website and we could talk further? www.methodist.org.uk/about/news/r...

Starting this tonight, and already struck by lots, including this beauty. “Jung explained that a paradox is one of our most valued spiritual possessions. He explained, "Only the paradox comes anywhere near to comprehending the fullness of life."”

I think the biggest thing I am concerned about regarding discourse on social media, given the events over the past few days, is the speed at which things are unravalling, everywhere. This only ends up badly.

Organisations can keep trying to relive their glory days, wishing things were like they were when they started. Nations can get stuck, trying to go back in time, to an imagined era when things were great. People can get overwhelmed by nostalgia, wishing things would go back to how they were...

The other place now serves as a breeding ground to bolster confidence in the ranks of the extreme right-wing who then, having planted seeds of hate and honed their messaging, proclaim it as ‘truth’ to the world. It is terrifying to witness this happening and see the real-world implications.
