My Mom once told me that she walked into a room where a couple of friends were discussing her, they didn’t know she was there. She shook her head, smiled and walked away. πŸ•Š My Mom also told me that she had a friend who talked bad about her, she never knew that Mom found out, Mom never mentioned it. She smiled and walked away from this friendship. πŸ•Š She told me she had family who chose to shift her out of their life because she stood up for herself for a change. And because she stopped crossing oceans for them when they would not even help her cross a bridge. She smiled, shook her head and walked away. πŸ•Š So I asked her how she could just walk away from people that betrayed her while pretending to be her friends or family? πŸ•Š She answered that every time she came to a crossroad like that, she had to decide who will be going forward on her journey with her. This showed her who she cannot take along with her. πŸ•Š So she explained to me that you should never get mad at a person who betrays you, even in the name of friendship or family. Just gracefully bow out and enjoy your journey with all the new people God puts in their place. πŸ•Š

You may have seen healthcare staff in the UK wearing this yellow badge with their name on it. But do you know the story behind this? Dr Kate Granger MB was an NHS doctor who was diagnosed with cancer in 2011. During a hospital stay in August 2013 with post-operative sepsis, she made the stark observation that many staff looking after her did not introduce themselves before delivering care. It felt incredibly wrong that such a basic step in communication was missing. She decided to start a campaign, primarily using social media initially, to encourage and remind healthcare staff about the importance of introductions in healthcare. Introductions are about making a human connection between one human being who is suffering and vulnerable and another human being who wishes to help. Dr. Kate Granger passed away in 2016, but the message she left is still going strong. Remember, this isn't about wearing a yellow badge. This is to remind ourselves the importance of introductions & developing therapeutic relationships with our patients. More information is in the link below. hellomynameis.org.uk/

Even whilst going through the greatest pain a parent has to endure, you fought to make change. Sleep well now Sir, knowing that you did your beautiful boy proud… Rest in Power #legacyofhope
Richard’s family are very sad to make the news public that Richard passed away last night. He had been fighting a long battle with cancer. Sending love and best wishes to all who loved him dearly … #LegacyOfHope
