Happy Sunday one and all…
I wonder if there were ever a more uncertain time, when so many things lie in the balance…
I’m incredulous at how we humans seem to be able to carry on through so much crisis. Billions of people inhabit this precious planet in all manner of circumstances, many just struggling to survive..millions of refugees, homeless, downtrodden, impoverished, traumatised, frail, invisible…Barely surviving yet somehow managing to carry on.
The systems in place appear to be consistently dysfunctional - leadership so predictably inept, corrupt and lacking in substance..
What will it take to heal division - to implement substantive restorative change?
The world is in an existential emergency.
How do YOU find the means to make each day worthwhile?
How do you find the strength to lay this burden down down down..

Good Morning! Good Afternoon! Good Evening - wherever you are…
Thought for the day..
The one thing we need to encourage and endorse is ‘Non Violence’ at both personal and national levels.
It sounds almost ridiculously over simple, but in fact if this ideal were to be globally practiced, so many of the problems we face would be eradicated. How do we spread the word? Could all religious leaders be persuaded? Imagine the influence they would have if they fully represented this concept..

I stand corrected!!! Thank you for pointing out my error! I totally misread the flags! Isn’t that just life’s slapshtik???!!
Nevertheless - the sentiment I carry is heartfelt. As I’ve had the privilege of not having to live in a war zone I’m acutely aware of those who experience invasion, bombardment and displacement everywhere. The perpetual normalisation of ‘violence’ is something we all live with.. I question its purpose and where it comes from, realising that is the collective ‘shadow side’ of our existence. #nonviolence #peace

Becoming a mother has been the most profoundly life changing experience for me.
I feel so privileged to have been able to safely deliver my daughters into this world.
This is one of the reasons why I feel so ardently about women and girls rights EVERYWHERE around the world. Being a mother is a LIVED experience, not an abstract concept. Every woman and girl deserves to be respected and protected by fundamental human rights, respect, dignity, safety, security, peace, access to health care, legal rights, education.. etc
In many countries women and girls lives are threatened, abused, devalued and disregarded as third class citizens. This is the reason why I consider myself to be a Global Feminist and ally for mothers everywhere.

Blast from the past..
1999 Brit Awards…
Beloved Stevie
Wonder not only awarded Eurythmics with a ‘Lifetime Achievement’ Award, but performed ‘There Must be an Angel’ with us onstage! The most incredible honour.
A ‘pinch me - am I dreaming’ moment. Truly! 🎶🎵❤️

Ever since I learned about Eurythmics induction I’ve been seeing my life run before me - Performing in tiny hole in the wall clubs, then theatres and eventually arenas, stadiums, and festivals across every major city.. sleeping on ‘the bus’ arriving in Boston, Nashville, Chicago ..every venue in the USA and everywhere else around the world.
Backstage dressing rooms, sound checks, road crews, catering.. every aspect of touring, rehearsals, travelling in cars, buses and airplanes.. TV and radio stations,Press interviews.. Writing and recording songs in the studio, Conceiving and creating videos..
The impact of ‘Fame’. The life of an ‘artist’, as opposed to a ‘celebrity’. There’s a difference!
Everyone inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame knows this as a ‘lived’ experience.
I’m very grateful to EVERYONE who made this all happen!

ps. We’re Eurythmics without the ‘THE’!!! 🤣

Two rock n’ roll pirates of the Wild Western Caribbean!
Thank you for all your love!
The ‘business’ side of music can be a slippery slope - a snakes n’ ladders game with human players.
Too many algorithms for me these daze!
We both travelled the world and the rough old seven seas and came out of it bruised, battered but keepin’ our heads up!
Thank you for takin’ the time and trouble to put us in ‘fourth’ place!!
Bless us all!
