Nick is one of the kindest people in Scotland and on Twitter.
He is authentically humble~not boastful~and not homeless.
If you would take your own advice to be kind, you'd easily learn Nick's journey is incredibly brave.
Your tweet is needlessly cruel toward a very kind soul.
Very, very, very

@Theholisticpsyc
I was 5 years old when my 26-year-old Mom and my 2-year-old baby brother died in a car accident.
I was injured and hospitalized.
My life changed forever that day.
💔
Yet after a childhood (and a lifetime) filled with loss, grief, heartbreak and trauma, I choose HOPE+compassion.❤️
Thinking of all the women cyclists who are riding EVERY mile/km of this year's ENTIRE
#TourdeFrance
route.
One day ahead of the men.
So they will ride into

tomorrow!!!
This one's for all of you

A stunning day on the sea today. Paddling into Loch Leven has to be one of the highlights of my journey so far. The high snow capped mountains with ethereal clouds swirling around them added a sense of awe to the experience. The photo is of me taken by a well wisher this morning.

Seeing all those otters and other wildlife up close must be so amazing!

She is absolutely brilliant and adorable too!!
And yes, I remember well studying Piaget in my education and child psychology classes.
Fascinating stuff!
10 year old Ruby wants to ride the Tour de France one day. Today, she joined 13 women riding the entire route of the Tour de France, day ahead of the men's race, on the road for the start of Stage 1! They ride for the return of a women's TDF. (

"Heidi" made me want to live up in the mountains.
To this day, I still feel that same pull to the mountains.
And all the Beatrix Potter illustrated books with their sweet, whimsical animal stories.

Amen to this!!!
I made several big changes in my life last year~and I feel happier and so much more free now.
Leaving a toxic workplace or ending a toxic relationship are healthy choices.
Don't get stuck.
Take that leap of faith.
Make good changes so you can live free~with joy!
not sure who needs to hear this but you get to change your mind.
you can leave that job. you can end that relationship. you can start a new one. you can switch careers. you get to pivot—it doesn’t have to mean you’re wishy washy or indecisive… maybe it means you’re human.
