#ThoughtForTheWeek #InspiredByASwan🦢 #KeepGoing However your day goes Or your week pans out I ask for one thing from you And that is to remember to…………..

I got goosebumps & tears as I empathised with much of both your stories. From telling to prison, writing to survive, a library job & using lived experience Thanks My name is Ben and I am a compulsive gambler SteveGirling for #HoldorFold Episode 1, your honesty gives hope Hold or Fold is a must listen

Had a delivery and inside was a gift of a second canvas. I’d bought one and a friend knew I was saving for a second one to go in my lounge. Feeling 😃🤩☺️ thanks to the thoughtfulness, generosity and kindness of my truly fab friend. Thank you Lois for the gift of #friendship 🫂

#LoveThis and what an important message it conveys. Whatever you feel at any given moment in time, you should always feel safe to feel it.

It’s #CakeWednesday in my 🌎 which means I get to eat cake & support my local Birds Bakery In my opinion they do the best cakes. So do you fancy an #ElephantsFoot or #CaramelDoughnut After all life’s better #WithCake just ask charlie mackesy & mole. Have a lovely evening peeps x

Don’t often say I’m happy with a photo but I was when I took this one of St. Ed’s. The people I’ve met & hope I’ve taken over the past 5 years is all within ‘Reasons to Believe’ so I hope the canvas thank you goes down well. Take care peeps and keep finding #ReasonsToBelieve🙏

Thanks, Vivien. However I want to thank you & the many other kind people I’ve met on my 5 year journey. Without kind people who choose to look & see then I wouldn’t be here today. I’m truly grateful for that each day as it is why I can share what I now share. #FriendshipGift🤜🤛

“However hard a challenge becomes hold onto #hope and #believe and you will get through what you once thought you’d never be able to”~KL 2024 #StEds is a constant in my wellness journey, so I’m very proud that #TowerOfHope and #Believe are now on sale at folksy.com/shops/SeeQueen

You might not be at your chosen destination But take time to reflect and see How much you’ve already achieved By making the stops you have along the way #ReflectionPhotography #GrandCentral #Birmingham

#AutumnlThoughts🍁 #TheLeavesKnow🍂 Saw a display and thought it conveyed a beautiful and important message. The leaves know it’s lovely to fall when they need to so they can let go, and move on. It’s something I’ll remember as falling to move on is always okay, for me too🫶

#poem #poetry What a brilliant poem. It made me smile, laugh and reflect. I’m sure many of us can relate to the #WorryWart and know the challenges of making it stay away. Take care, be kind to your worries and if you are worrying today, know you aren’t on your own. #Worry

#Pain Pain can be dark Pain can be cruel But pain can save you My pain might stay the same My pain might lessen Or my pain might increase tomorrow But pain has taught me That whatever it makes me feel I have to be alive to feel it #SucicdePrevention #SuicideAwareness
