In America and the Commonwealth of Nations veterans are being thanked for their service. I salute those men and women who put on their nations uniform to serve and sometimes sacrifice. Your devotion to your country men and women are duly noted and appreciated. Thank you for everything.
Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. There are also recognitions of Black History Month in Canada, United Kingdom and The Netherlands. You cannot tell the story of a nation without Black stories being heard. I am glad to learn more and to be a part of this.
To my friends in the UK with Brexit uncertainty and a little fear I hope all the best for you. I hope your leaders will find their way to making things right, just and fair for every citizen there.
My goodness there are some unexpected results coming in from the UK General Elections, sounds like a huge surprise is unfolding. Labour is doing very well and will take seats from other parties. Jeremy Corbyn has reinvigorated the Labour party and this gamble by Prime Minister Theresa May has certainly backfired. Will she get the sack or will she resign, sounds like she has limited options politically. We shall see what happens on Friday when all this shakes out.
To my friends in the UK, GO VOTE! Your voice needs to be heard June 8th. Every vote matters. It will impact everyone in the future. You have a chance to make a difference. Be the change you want to see. Take a friend or two to the polls. You can make history.
In some parts of the world, the United Kingdom specifically it’s Mother’s Day.

I hope you have had a great day and have been spoiled with as much love as you give.
