Happy New Year OR Become the Change?
Today's message suggests we take a different look at the thread..Happy New Year. Every year we greet the new year in with the same message. However at the end of that year many cant wait for that year to end. So maybe we should look at the thread..Become the Change you Want to See. 2020 has been the mother of all years on so many levels, however many of us have come through, humanity has come through, humanity has finally seen its humanity in others. It's been a time of revelation, resilience, self awareness, activism, a breaking down of and a building up of and so much more.

The BFI London Film Festival 2020 premiered I Am Samuel. 'A quiet, nuanced vérité documentary filmed over five years, I am Samuel is an intimate portrait of a queer Kenyan man and his partner Alex, and their struggles to navigate rejection, violence and complex family relationships. In a country where their love could land them in prison, or worse - dead in the streets - Samuel and Alex find comfort and strength in a colourful, close-knit community in Nairobi whose courageous bond is a beacon of hope in their search for belonging.' Here Esther Austin talks to Peter Murimi about the film and further explores issues around understanding, compassion, culture and tradition and societal beliefs around homosexuality. @IAmSamuel

Esther's Espirational Message - The Difference ...
Too often our ego drives our attitudes and perceptions. Especially when it comes to fame and status. Being seen. Being in the public eye becomes the goal and our filters become hazy. When we realise that coming from an abundance mindset can get us everything we desire or that which is for us, we realise our worth. The power of recognising our worth over status is key. Over the past few weeks I've had to step up my self worth thermometer. What about you? Is it time to leverage up? Or is it time to learn some lessons about what you're asking for?
