Laugh and the world laughs with you

Laugh and the world laughs with you

Today has been punctuated by laughter. I laughed until I cried! I laughed with a friend and I laughed at the TV. For a few moments, it was good to escape the challenges and difficulties that now surround us, every minute of every day. Finding moments of happiness are...

A Part or Apart?

Vaccine No. 1

Vaccine No. 1

Today I had my first vaccine injection and I’m surprised at the mix of emotions I feel. I’m extraordinarily grateful for the scientists that have devoted their lives to their profession and have developed this vaccine for us. I’m also grateful to the professionals who...

Doing the right thing

We’ve all had a gut feeling when something isn’t right. But sometimes, even when it looks right, sounds right and feels right, we can’t do right for doing wrong. We’ve set ourselves up with processes and procedures to help us dot the i’s and cross the t’s. Our...

Discovery Series – Part 10

Welcome to the Discovery Series Part 10. In this blog, I’m going to talk about the final four themes that came from my research: WELSH COMMUNITY CONTEXT: Wales needs to be considered specifically, because it has its own laws and indigenous language. It can’t simply be...
