PRIDE MONTH in a time of celebration for the LGBTQ+ community and all their straight supporters 😀 It's also a time to raise awareness of the misunderstanding and discrimination that sadly continues to exist within our communities.

Take Ten - Pentecost
View video:
Pentecost is a significant celebration in the Christian calendar. It recognises the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Disciples of Jesus, and other followers, after the death and resurrection of Jesus. As Christians, we believe that the Holy Spirit helps us to live a life of faithfulness to God and to the teachings of the Bible.

Take Ten - World Day for Cultural Diversity
View video:
The beauty of our world lies in the diversity of its people. If we open our hearts and minds and allow ourselves to see through the lens of someone else's perspective, we begin to challenge those unconscious biases that so often colour our thinking and our attitudes.

Take Ten - International Nurses' Day
View Video:
May 12th each year is International Nurses' Day, which celebrates the contribution that nurses make to nations and to individuals all around the world. Quite frankly, where would we have been this past year without the tireless service of our nurses? They play such an integral role in delivering health care to those in need 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.

Mental Health Awareness Week
May 10th - 16th 2021 is
Mental Health Awareness Week
If there is a right time for us to look after our own mental health and that of those we love, the time is NOW!!!
The theme for this year's awareness week is NATURE.
For many, over this past year, nature has played a significant role in our coping strategies. For some it's been that daily walk (either with or without a dog) or for those less mobile, simply watching and listening to the birds out in the garden. Many have discovered a love for gardening or a gift for growing tomatoes.
One of the wonderful things about nature is that it engages all of our senses - sight, smell, touch, feel, with an element of caution regarding taste ... unless, of course, you're tasting those tomatoes you grew 😀😀

Take Ten - Lessons from a Satnav
View video:
Take Ten - Lessons from a Satnav
Some of the difficult things about this past year have been the many questions, the constant changes and that sense of walking in the unknown, like walking in the fog. On occasion the only thing we can choose to do is let go of worry and simply be obedient to taking the next small step, trusting for what is beyond.
May Day Walk
I was super disappointed to miss the May Day walk at Lesnes Abbey Woods but already had something in my diary 😔
Thanks, Kirsten, for organising this event. Looks like it was enjoyed by all. Here are some of the photos I was sent ...
