Today we remember that Israel's colonization of Palestine has been ongoing for 125+ years. As Jenan Matari said: "Not 2 years. 77, and 125+". And we stand firm in our support of the Palestinian Peoples' right to resist.

It is paramount that we understand the necessity of being grief-informed in every realm, especially at a systems level.

Food drives expose the deeper character of a city, showing whether its citizens see hunger as someone else’s problem or everyone’s shared responsibility. London has always made clear where it stands, and it's with compassion. Thank you, as ever London.

Some gentle little grief mantras to carry into September.
I love the validation and permission they provide to let #grief move through you in the ways it’s meant to.
Take your time.
There is no need to rush your heart as it continues to learn how to hold these tender experiences.

Do I think you’ll benefit from a little visual pause to savour the gorgeousness of these wee perfect spheres of sweet summer before and after the thunderstorm?
