Read More What Does ‘Better’ Look Like?Recently I shared about faith in the system. Some suggested that I sounded somewhat sceptical and mistrusting of those institutions and elements that make up the system in which we live.

Read More A Good Time to be Reminded About …I love a good political thriller. The intrigue, the ambition, the aspiration, the connections, the soaring hopes, the corrupting, the demise, the mess and in some cases the lessons to learn that might point to some sort of redemption.
