Weekend Read 16 January 2021

As I welcome you to the Weekend Read, I think the best thing I can say here is that with each passing day we are a step closer to lighter days and, I hope, lighter moments.  The months of January and February are notoriously bleak under normal circumstances, except of course nothing is normal this year.  We have come this far together and in full acknowledgement of dreams that have been shattered and hearts that are breaking, we have to trust and we have to believe in a better tomorrow, however difficult that may seem.

Weekend Read 9 January 2021

As the global situation on the pandemic takes a harsher grip, I welcome you to the Weekend Read knowing that the trauma has deepened and we have to address this as best we can. That said, we have to keep a positive perspective and try to be pragmatic in all that we are and all that we do.  That age-old saying of ‘This Too Shall Pass’ is, I believe, completely relative here and more than ever we need to trust and we need to believe.  We also need to keep things very real and we will continue on this journey together in doing just that.
