If, like me, you were obsessed with The Kids From Fame in the 80s, you’ll be very familiar with Erica Gimpel. She played Coco for 3 seasons of the show and she was one of my favourite characters.

Well, Erica is still bringing love and positivity to the world and I had to steal this video from her IG to share here. Listen to what she has to say and hear/see how she says it.



Thoughts on Peace:

“As I enter my 40th year of Buddhist practice, my constant prayer is for peace. But this is not a passive peace—it is an active peace, a passionate peace. A peace that generates solutions and resolutions. A peace that liberates all people and allows everyone the opportunity to live out their lives and dreams fully.

There is so much we can do as human beings, especially in creating solutions. I believe we can collectively solve every problem currently facing our world and our planet. But we must have the will to do so—the desire to uplift all people, with the intention that the solutions we create will benefit everyone living on this precious blue planet we share.”

I’ve been trying desperately to get my head around this flag flying craze that’s creeping and sweeping the nation.

If I were given the opportunity to speak with anyone involved, I’d ask:

What does flying the St George’s Cross mean to you?

What are you hoping people feel when they see it?

I understand that for many, it’s about pride in England – a love of heritage and identity. That’s a sentiment worth recognising.

But symbols don’t exist in isolation. They carry histories and take on meaning depending on where, when, and how they’re displayed.

When the flag is flown on official occasions – sporting events, national holidays, community celebrations – most people see it as an expression of pride.

When it’s painted on roads or hung in random places, the message can shift. For some, especially those from minority backgrounds, it can feel less like “I love my country” and more like “this place isn’t for you.”

I’d ask: Does that reflect the message you want to send?

Patriotism is about loving your country enough to make it better for everyone. Nationalism, by contrast, draws lines around who belongs and who doesn’t – and that can feel threatening.

Painting flags on public property without permission isn’t patriotism; it’s graffiti. Real pride shows up in different ways: volunteering, supporting veterans, joining community projects, and celebrating the diversity that makes England strong.

Imagine being new to this country and seeing flags painted across walls and pavements. Would it feel welcoming – or like a warning?

We can celebrate England in ways that bring people together – flying the flag at matches, on national days, or in community spaces – so everyone feels included.

So I asked again: when you display the flag, what story do you want it to tell?

Resharing this from

‘Claims that aid is entering the Gaza Strip at scale are not true… It is clear and simple. There is a famine.’

Channel 4 News spoke to Tess Ingram from Unicef, who was on the ground in Dier al-Balah and al-Mawasi, about the worsening conditions in the Gaza Strip.

She refuted claims from Israel that ‘there is no famine’ after one was declared in Gaza City.

I can’t thank Pedro enough.

He is kind, caring, compassionate, and always takes the time to clearly explain every procedure.

What makes such a difference is not just his skill, but his good humour and the fact that he genuinely cares about my life and wellbeing.

I don’t always manage to say how grateful I am in the chair (mostly because my mouth is literally frozen!), but I truly am. An amazing dentist who goes above and beyond.

Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s vibrant, emotionally rich and musically dynamic staging of Sunshine on Leith brings a unique and universally relatable interpretation of Stephen Greenhorn’s musical, set to the songs of The Proclaimers, to the stage.

Directed by Elizabeth Newman with revival direction by Ben Occhipinti, this production can be viewed through the Lens of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

The cast, creative team, and staging elements work in harmony to chart each characters’ progress, from survival to self‑actualisation.

When reflecting on the show, I immediately realised that, whether intentional or not, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is clearly mapped throughout the narrative.

This production not only functions as a stirring theatrical experience but a lived embodiment of Maslow’s Hierarchy.

From the fragile reclamation of safety, through vulnerable emotional reconnections, to the affirming self-realisation found in love and forgiveness, the production charts a coherent human journey.

With directional clarity, musical ingenuity, and a poignant ensemble, it demonstrates that true fulfilment lies not in isolation—but in the active pursuit of belonging and truth.

1. Physiological & Safety Needs

The production’s opening stakes are firmly tethered to safety and stability, setting the stage for deeper emotional journeys.

2. Love and Belonging

Maslow’s third layer—belonging—is celebrated through both intimate duets and collective moments of cultural pride.

3. Esteem Needs

The musical spotlight becomes a metaphorical one for the characters’ need for validation and reconciliation.

4. Self-Actualisation

Self-actualisation emerges through community and truth, not solitary triumph—echoing Maslow’s vision of authenticity.

One remarkable feature of this production is the ensemble’s dual role as both actors and live musicians. Each performer contributes vocally and instrumentally—playing violin, guitar, saxophone, drums, and more—creating a kinetic, richly textured onstage tapestry.

This approach deepens the emotional connection at every level, aligning the production’s energy with the characters’ internal arcs.

Today, I want to explore what we mean by masculinity and what that term can mean in relation to mental health.

Let me know your thoughts in response to the question posed in this post.

When men redefine masculinity, they don’t just free themselves. They free everyone. A whole man — grounded, present, alive — is unstoppable, not in opposition to others, but in solidarity with them.

What would a liberated, whole version of masculinity look like to you?

Today, I want to explore what we mean by masculinity and what that term can mean in relation to mental health.

Let me know your thoughts in response to the question posed in this post.

Moments of male vulnerability strike so deeply because they reveal what has always been true: every man needs connection with his emotions, his tenderness, and his vulnerability — not once, but as a way of life.

When was the last time vulnerability brought you closer to someone?

Let me know your thoughts in response to the question posed in this post.

The tragedy is that the very things men ache for — intimacy, love, being fully seen — are blocked by the script of masculinity itself. To hold another’s depths, we must first be able to sit with our own.

What helps you face your own inner storms?

Beneath all of this lies what Jung called the anima — the feminine within us. Not about gender, but about balance: tenderness, empathy, imagination, love. Without it, men may be outwardly admired but inwardly hollow.

What parts of yourself have you been taught to hide or reject?

Let me know your thoughts in response to the question posed in this post.

Rigid gender roles harm everyone. The same system that tells men not to cry tells women their emotions make them “irrational” and their strength makes them “a threat.” Patriarchy narrows all of us, stealing our wholeness.

How have rigid gender expectations limited you or those you love?

Today, I want to explore what we mean by masculinity and what that term can mean in relation to mental health.

Let me know your thoughts in response to the question posed in this post.

What we repress doesn’t disappear. It festers. Suppressed feelings leak out as anger, violence, overwork, addiction, or untreated mental health struggles. At its most tragic, repression shows up in the devastatingly high su***de rates among men.

What healthier outlets could we create for men to process and share their emotions?
