I was thinking about Lent. This is one thing that is affected by being ADHD, for me at least. Forty days of consistently doing something? Umm, I got to the point of just giving up because I knew I couldn't manage it. Impulsivity works before I can think and I've failed to not eat chocolate, or read the Bible every day before you know it. I've tried 40 Acts, giving instead of giving up... same results. For a few days I have lots of enthusiasm but then I lose focus and pffft! It all gets lost.

But what if there's a different way to use my brain and offer God what I have for Lent? I can keep going even when I have off days, if I fail one day it isn't the end, I can pick it up again. His mercies are new every morning.

I have created 40 accessible Bible verses to reflect on for the season of Lent - (all in one day because I hyper-focussed on this today. ) I've set a reminder to share one a day on my phone. If you want to share this or copy it for your own reflections or to share with someone who struggles to read then please do.

In other news, my website is coming on. These will go on there as a download soon.

An inspiring life-story of Inclusion and belonging in the work place. We keep working and campaigning for full inclusion and belonging in our churches.

When Emily first applied for her job at the local burger joint, people whispered. “She won’t last a week,” they said. Born with Down syndrome, the world always seemed to measure her by what they thought she couldn’t do. But Emily never listened. With her red cap pulled tightly on her head and a smile brighter than the fryer lights, she showed up every day—on time, ready, determined.

At first, customers doubted her. Some ignored her. A few even complained. But Emily kept serving—one burger, one smile, one kind word at a time. Slowly, she became the soul of the restaurant. Children ran to her register because she always remembered their names. Lonely seniors stayed longer because Emily never rushed them. And coworkers leaned on her, because she worked harder than anyone, and loved even harder still.

The years flew by—ten, twenty, thirty-six. Through every season of her life, the restaurant became her second home, and the people became her family. She never married, never had children of her own, but hundreds of kids grew up calling her “Miss Emily.” She taught them kindness. She taught them patience. She taught them that dignity has nothing to do with titles, but everything to do with how you treat others.

On her final day, the restaurant was packed. Strangers she had once served stood shoulder to shoulder, waiting to say goodbye. Her manager handed her a plaque that read: “Retirement Award—36 Years of Service.” Emily held it with trembling hands, tears streaming down her face. For once, the whispers were gone. No one doubted her anymore.

That night, when the restaurant lights turned off for the last time, Emily walked out with her plaque pressed close to her chest. For the world, it was just a fast-food job. For Emily, it was proof that she mattered.

And in truth—she always had.
