❤️ Awww. I've just had a beautiful message from Judy, the Founder of Trauma Foundation South West (she gave me permission to share).

📘 "I have just finished reading A Better Basra. I found it thoroughly human and heartwarming, even though you were in such a hard/male/violent situation. Your wry, humorous, unsentimental and honest look at life made it such a good read! It has made me think about when I have been brave and when cowardly in my own life and realise that I can be compassionate to myself in both states"

It’s funny how the smallest things can carry the biggest meaning.

I’ve just arrived back from Canada, unpacked my suitcase… and there it was. A police badge I was gifted on my last trip four years ago. Somehow, it made the journey home with me again - quietly waiting to be rediscovered.

And it got me thinking…

We all carry things with us.
Moments. Messages. Strength we didn’t even realise we held onto.

Because sometimes the right message finds you… exactly when you’re ready to see it again.
