Delighted my Short Story ‘Big Boys Cry’ came 2nd in the 2022 Michael Mullan Charity Fund Competition judged by @NiamhBoyce. Plot twist - @poilin presented the awards, her classes helped me write the first draft! I read it nervously at #KRF2022, read it on the MMCF website soon.

You are made of star stuff. We all are. The elements forged in the stars are the same ones that make us what we all are – human. We are also #MadeToConnect. Reach out to those who shine like stardust in your life.

#Sinead wrote this song about an incident in England on 17 May 1989 where the police chased a youth called Nicholas Bramble who was riding a moped, in the mistaken belief that he had stolen the moped (It was his). He lost control of the moped in the chase killing himself.

Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never fade.
