This just came through from Monday and broke my heart. After my show an 11y/o worked out his age in days (4208) and it was THE SAME as his date of birth (4/2/08) 🤯 Can you retweet if you think that’s pretty flipping cool so he knows he’s far from alone. 💙

When it’s not fame or greed that drives you, but you do it for the love, Remember - just like any other fuel - That still needs topping up. If you are tired, or low, or losing heart, + need to switch the pace, Do something to remind yourself Why you loved it in the first place.
