I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It's a gift you give yourself.

It is your passion that empowers you to be able to do that thing you were created to do.

When you make a decision to forgive it's a decision that you have to make intellectually.

I think to have the skill set and the ability to physically help others in matters of life and death must be incredibly empowering.

I feel sorry for generations of Labour voters and supporters who must look and wonder what on earth has gone wrong and what Labour is for.

Although I write to entertain, and try to keep my work free of didacticism, I do have a rather passionate belief in our need to be connected to - and to learn from - history.
