🔊I am Learning to articulate myself better ALL the time 🤪🤪🤪 especially as my job depends on it 🤗sometimes my words come out in a full sentence - often they come out in feelings/impressions - I am so much better at finishing my sentences these days but words don’t form easily in my brain AND when I get excited or under pressure they don’t come out in the right order 🔜 AND it makes me so flipping frustrated- It’s funny because I know I can make myself understood but words are often jumbled up or letters in a random order - being dyslexic has made me be creative and expressive & is defo a super power ⭐️ BUT also super time consuming😳 !!! Anyone else dyslexic????
Wedding vibes with my G Unit 🙌🏻
Head wrap game strong today - what you wearing????
Happiest of birthdays @matthewjameshooper - this year has been an adventure & next year will be for sure another one too - LOVE YOOOO ⚔️
Here’s a prayer I wrote for my lads last year 📌 it felt right to give something that was attainable and powerful - not just ‘pray that I smash it , pray that I get A*s, pray that I get questions that I revised !‘- all of these have too many variables and stirs up panic/toil & performance - instead I wanted them to have a powerful message of hope & reassuring words, when their anxiety could be high, something that would bring a sense of calm & peace /📋I printed it up & popped it in a basket full of healthy snacks and treats during the ‘Exam Time’ - (I don’t know that they used it but it felt 🥳 to do it & stopped me feeling too anxious about their exams too🕊The pressure is off our house for this year so I will spend a bit of time praying for my friends and their children who are right in the thick of it 🗣- feel free to save, share, screen grab or print this for someone today - Whatever the outcome I pray that God would take this day and use it for good💚 Anyone got exam stacked kids that we can pray for ? Why don’t you comment below & we can share the moment with you!!!! 👇🏼much love Clare x
This is my Grandma surrounded by her grandkids - she’s wild, she’s generous, forward thinking & thoughtful she’s 86 today & she came into my life when I was 8 & my mum remarried & God knew she was just the kind of Grandma I needed!!!! Happiest of birthdays to woman who taught me ‘if you can’t be good be careful’ @grandmapatdrain I LOVE YOU!
Happy birthday 🥳 @graciemayhoopers - and just like that you are 13 - With some of your current hero’s being @ocasio2018 & @michelleobama - We are pretty sure your future will be in changing stuff & impacting the world to make a better future for everyone - love you muchly Mum x ‼️ & for one year only we have 3 teenagers in our house - please pray for us 😝
HAPPY WEDNESDAY FRIENDS -🔆 ‘It Matters Not How Long U Stay, Just Flush Before You Go Away.’ /// 🔆Unless the reason why you take so long is because you are amusing yourself taking loofies ..... 🔆 on that occasion you deserve to be knocked on 🙋🏽‍♀️
🔆Another Sunday evening to reminisce about long into the future ....@kingdom_company_ 🔆
🙋🏽‍♀️I have recently got into asking Siri to help me send messages - Siri isn’t always the best listener 😵 & for animal lovers out there the dog needed a wee & no we didn’t put him out for a whole week ~ I mean Siri me and you could be pals but not if you keep misrepresenting me 🙈😂😝Also for all friends who I message please note my other new favourite thing is voice notes so expect me nattering in your ears from now on!!! 🗣👂🏻
Remember when we were just teenagers and just friends? you made me mix tapes & I drove you round in my fiat 126? Seems we were right about making our friendship more permanent 👥
Do you think it’s obvious that I LOVE MY JOB? 🙋🏽‍♀️😂☝🏻 One part of my consultancy & training is equipping churches to build safer communities (aka safeguarding training) - It’s such an honour to be with groups from all over the UK as they dialogue, learn and build practices that safeguard the vulnerable - I mean you cannot get more Kingdomly than a safe one, a place of refuge, a place where there is space made vulnerability & not manipulation or purposeful harm!!!!!!! ( message me as I have some slots available for 2019) 💯💯💯 on a side note : this pic was captured by the very wonderful @hannah.bettany who is someone everyone should get to know! & a HUGE THANKYOU to @anthonydelaney @myivychurch & all the Ivy churches for invite ✖️
