After early Dec flight, Isolation and negative COVID test I got to see my beloved parents. It’s been almost a year. Dementia’s stealing my mother but she knew me “You’re here at last!!! I’ve been looking for you everywhere! That feels better”. It sure does. Happy Christmas. ❤️⭐️

I don’t know any woman who doesn’t fear for her safety as part of daily life.We consider routes, wearing headphones, cab registrations, street lights, parking car by day and how to walk to it at night, keys in hand just in case etc. Victims are not the problem! .#SarahEverard.

Not so long ago I was told by people in the music industry that as I was a woman over 40 yrs of age I was wasting my time still making music. I forged ahead with it regardless, and made ’11 past the hour’… I just got told I am very close to #1 in Ireland and top 5 in the U.K!!!!

After watching #Fleadh2020 on @TG4TV I’m overcome with grief for the language that was stolen from me. The stories, poetry, songs that should be on my tongue. The embarrassment at having to learn like a child my own teanga that should never have been taken away from me. #gaeilge.

When starting out I once was a warm up act for @dionnewarwick at a private gig. They didn’t provide me with a place to change and suggested I changed in the toilets. Dionne was so gracious to let me use her personal hotel room. A kindness I will never forget. Thanks Dionne. 🙏.

I’ve deleted a tweet in which I supported my friend Johnny. Not because I don’t send him or his ex love but because the thread was filled with so many arguments, pain and anger. Which hurts us all. This case has brought out such strong emotions. I only hope truth and love win.

I believe in love, truth, safety, respect, kindness and compassion regardless of gender. I’m not a judge nor jury. Supporting one doesn’t always condemn another. Being cruel doesn’t help. Empathy and understanding does. I have no hate just hope. Have a peaceful night.

Counsellors are amazing human beings. I’m grateful to be able to get help when needed. Self care is more than candles and bubble baths. Your mental health is important and worth the time and effort. I cannot recommend counselling enough. You owe it to yourself. Try it.

Tina. A dog that will live long in the memory. She didn’t let a life of breeding, neglect and being tied on a chain get her down. Once she found her freedom she fully embraced it. I thought it would be a lovely tribute if people did something kind in her name. For yourself or

Respectful and informative conversations and debates are important for moving forward in disagreement but personal, disrespectful, aggressive, intimidating verbal attacks and sending me pictures of children being burnt alive or abused is unacceptable. Would you not agree?.
