Dear Friends,
I can only imagine that you’re feeling overwhelmed and horrified to see so much ‘warfare’ being enforced upon ordinary people, who are now caught up in the horror of bombing, displacement and destruction.
War begets more war.. while those who suffer are ALWAYS civilians..
Here’s something you can do, if you want to do something to help those affected..

@chooselove
“£50K MATCHFUND FOR MIDDLE EAST CRISIS

Homes, families and children are being bombed across the Middle East.

Hundreds of thousands of people are being displaced overnight, forced to leave everything, and worried for their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

In Lebanon, 100,000 people are now living in new emergency shelters and 750,000 people are being forcibly displaced following Israeli orders to leave the south of Lebanon and southern areas of Beirut.

Our partners who are responding in Lebanon and Syria desperately need support to open more emergency shelters, provide food, urgent medical aid, heating and fuel and more.

Please donate today to help our incredible partners who are responding locally in Syria, Lebanon and across the region to provide people with humanitarian essentials as this crisis continues to escalate.”

Dear Friends,
These last few days have felt so overwhelmingly chaotic and catastrophic, that I had to step away from the whirl of ‘Sturm und Drang’ just to keep ‘grounded’ and ‘stable’…
So today I want to send you some ‘counter balance’ to the momentum of doom..
Here’s how Bach channelled the full glory of the cello..
Let the ravens show you how they soar above it all..
while us humans bring about the madness of global destruction.
“May today be my peaceful day” … 🙏🏼💔❤️‍🩹☮️

Along with @thecirclengo I am honoured to stand in solidarity with survivors like Gisele Pelicot, whose exceptional courage continues to drive impactful change.
As she launches her powerful new book ‘A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides’, we’re reminded that survivors’ voices must lead the way — and THEIR PRIORITIES FOR JUSTICE are focused at the centre of every conversation.
Gisele’s story is a testament to strength, resilience, and the transformative impact of BEING HEARD.
We stand with Gisele and all survivors globally who continue to shape the path forward with bravery and clarity!

Dear Friends,
The official estimate of deaths in Gaza is around 72,000 right now…although there are easily thousands more who are yet to be accounted for..
How tragic and pitiful it is to realise that so many bodies were simply blown to pieces, so they can only bury ‘parts’ like this.. anonymously in a mass grave. So many of these remains are of children and women as well as the men.
This is GENOCIDE…
It always was genocide…It still is an ongoing genocide and the history books will describe it as genocide.

Dear Friends,
This wonderful PEACE envoy stepped out from Texas - to cover miles on foot across the USA to Washington DC in ALL weathers.
People made their way to greet them in their hundreds of thousands.
There is a collective YEARNING for peace in these dystopian times. The moral and spiritual bankruptcy of those in positions of power and influence is deeply entrenched. We’ve been ‘partying’ while the world burns.. Literally.
They didn’t walk to convert anyone to Buddhism…
Their message is simple.. and for free.
If world leaders could respond to this and make ‘peace’ a responsibility over money, power and ‘forever’ wars, imagine what a wonderful world this could be ( in the words of the late great Jimmy Cliff)… 💔❤️‍🩹☮️🙏🏼

Dear Friends,
SHAME on the world that profits from the deliberate wounding and trauma forced upon this innocent young girl!!!
The war criminals - the unscrupulous, corrupt political and corporate leaders.
The weapons manufacturers and traders - the silent global media.
ALL the combined players creating the circumstances that led to her severe injury.
How can anyone ever endorse or ‘excuse’ this utter barbarism?
It was NOT accidental.
SHAME ON THEM ALL!!!

Dear Friends,
The genocide in Gaza is a GENOCIDE… no more interpretations required.
And it’s not over yet..
It is an intentional long term plan, to annihilate the Palestinians and keep them trapped in this caged Armageddon.
The supposed ‘Peace’ plan was a decoy.
Now ‘meningitis’ has appeared as the next threat to the population…
Will we continue to witness this slow drip feed of death, destruction and suffering for years to come?
Will we look away after the population gradually dies off?
We’ve ‘seen it all happen’ already… A ‘forever’ war…
A nightmare that can never be concealed.

Dear Friends,
It took me some time to discover what the ‘patriarchy’ was all about.
Like most girls, I was socially conditioned into believing in romantic fairy tales like Cinderella - Prince Charming- Snow White - the Princess and the Pea.. So I assumed that a ‘man’ would rescue me and ‘save me’ from myself, as it were.

I love men and so many I know personally are truly inspiring role models , but history and indeed life has proven that men can be also be incredibly callous and abusive.. both physically and mentally. I’ve understood how far short they fall for ALL OF US globally, especially in positions of power.

The Epstein files expose this ‘shadow side’ exists in the highest echelons of society. It feels SO OVERDUE to shift these kinds of power dynamics. I find it all unbelievably disturbing.

THIS is why I believe men and women need to talk - to communicate and work ‘together’! MEN can be GLOBAL FEMINISTS!! We welcome you!!

Dear Friends,
This verdict is of huge significance in terms of civil rights and freedom to protest against GENOCIDE in the UK, where the government wants to deflect away from the truth and intimidate the public into silence. When tens of thousands of children have continuously been slaughtered, surely we MUST be able to respond.
When calling for CEASEFIRE - JUSTICE and ACCOUNTABILITY is criminalised we have arrived in Orwellian dystopia.

Dear Friends,
There can be little room for nuance when it comes to a term like GENOCIDE.
No ambiguity…
No interpretation.
Ethnic cleansing has been the clearly stated intention all along, without a shadow of a doubt.
Yet good people have been arrested; hauled off UK streets and labelled as terrorists for peacefully holding signs calling for an end to this GENOCIDE.
The powers that be don’t want you to bring attention to it, or protest against it. This is the dangerous convoluted system of authority yielded over decent good hearted - empathetic - peaceful and honourable citizens, while their hard earned tax money goes to pay for weapons of mass destruction…
When the TRUTH is being denied, twisted and concealed.. we HAVE to stand up and call it out for what it is, when they don’t want you to.
MASSIVELY DISAPPOINTED BY THE UK LABOUR GOVERNMENT!!
