Yearly Archives: 2020

I didn’t want to have a rare incurable disease but in accepting that I do, it has brought me a great deal of peace.

For me, a rainbow is a symbol of harmony. Each colour has its own worth, but together each colour compliments one another to create a whole. Nothing jars. Rainbows bring joy, hope and optimism as they make you stop in your tracks and take in their beauty.

Acceptance is a value we have needed to exercise a lot over the last 2 months. We have had to learn to accept a loss of control, to accept a disruption to our world, to accept changes to daily existences. Those who accepted these adjustments found peace quicker.

Is this Pandemic that uninvited visitor, who has appeared to disrupt the equilibrium by shining a cold, white light on the world, thus forcing us to scrutinise our daily existence? 

If we are moral and values-led… If we are ethical and humane…  If our actions speak louder than our words… If we do the right thing when no-one is watching then we know we have integrity.
