Your thoughts and ideas

Here's some of what the imaginary conversations told me: My dad wanted me to walk a little bit slower and to take his arm because he's unsteady on his feet and too proud to ask others to slow down or to use his walking stick. My son wanted me to fix his puncture because my husband kept promising but never doing it and was about to put the bike in the loft for the winter. He wanted to show us how he could go it without stabilisers. My...Click here to view full post

Now you see me. Now you don’t. Now you hear me. Now you won’t. I’m shouting from the hilltops, I’m shouting from the plains. You have to stop this killing, stop this hatred, stop this pain! People say the youth of today have no respect! Yes we do, we hear you shout! But respect comes without guns and knives, All you are doing is destroying lives! Let’s change the record once and for all. Respect should be given by...Click here to view full post

Don't wait to tell someone how much they mean to you or to ask them how they are. When you feel the urge just say it or pick up the phone. I recently thought about someone and then heard that they were in hospital. The next day I thought some more and decided to send them some flowers to cheer them up, but I got caught up with other things and put the order to the back of my mind until the next day. Unfortunately, and very tragically,...Click here to view full post

I found this little poem on another website and thought that it just summed up BPH!! Smiling is infectious You catch it like the flu When someone smiled at me today I started smiling too. I walked around the corner And someone saw me grin And when I saw him smile I knew I'd passed it on to him. I thought about that smile And realised its worth. A single smile like mine Could travel round the earth. So if you feel...Click here to view full post

I'd like to sing the praise's of Ben's Brother, a Group which are supporting BigPinkHeart. When I approached them in March 2007 to ask if they would help promote a t-shirt which I created to raise awarensss and monies for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, they did not hesitate in saying yes - it was no problem. Jamie Hartman modelled the t-shirt for us and generated sales within his fan circle. I have kept in touch ever since via various...Click here to view full post

London Times Obituary of the late Mr Common Sense 'Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; life isn't always...Click here to view full post

Well done to BigPinkHeart for providing a tool for schools, clubs and other organisations to rally together and make our environment a better place to live in. I have three teenage sons who I have brought up on a diet of the importance of politeness and kindness to all. (We are still working on the 5-a-day part of the diet!) I am proud to say that I receive many positive comments from friends, family and teachers (and even strangers)...Click here to view full post

I was really glad to hear what you are doing. I learnt my values and virtues of doing good to other people and helping people through my Church and it’s Sunday school, I am in my 30’s so I’m not ancient!. I know that you don’t have to be religious to be good, but this has been my ground rock. I intend to volunteer myself for charity for example scouts soon. I think since the 60’s we, as a nation have questioned authority and we are...Click here to view full post

Ross for his support and encouragement and Aidan for his incredible patience and talent in designing the website and...Click here to view full post
