by Ryan Clement There is a kind of high that comes from wrapping up a speaking engagement. The room empties out, the adrenaline starts to subside, and usually, I would head straight for a celebratory drink, food or a good night’s sleep. It was a pleasure speaking at a recent event in Sheffield. The hostContinue reading “From Sheffield to Nice 🇫🇷 with ❤️”

FAITH and HOPE
by Ryan Clement IN THESE EVIDENTLY TROUBLED TIMES, it feels fittingly ironic that a recent visit to Liverpool took me between places of faith – Liverpool Cathedral and Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral – through a street named Hope. Of course, the two are closely connected, but not identical. To me, hope is the belief that tomorrowContinue reading “FAITH and HOPE”

Nice 🇫🇷 is not nice!
by Ryan Clement NICE 🇫🇷 IS NOT NICE! It’s stunningly beautiful! I have been blessed to see a few places during my tenure of Earth.

🏝️ Bahamas 🏖️

BONNIE GREER

She was one of those rare people I would stop to listen to when on television, no matter how busy I was. Highly intelligent, articulate andContinue reading “BONNIE GREER”
🎶“Let it be!” 🎶
by Ryan Clement I WAS IN LIVERPOOL RECENTLY. I was at the Albert Dock, observing the scenery and soaking in the calm, relaxing atmosphere of the late afternoon. Suddenly, I heard this lovely female voice, singing the Beatles’ Let it be. She was unquestionably happy. Many years after the song’s release, here was a ladyContinue reading “🎶“Let it be!” 🎶”
Kevin Keegan
by Ryan Clement SADLY, on 20 July 2026 the world lost a great footballer, manager and person, Kevin Keegan O.B.E. WHEN I was a kid, he was the footballer youngsters aspired to be like. He was quick, hardworking and scored goals regularly for both club and country. He was eloquent and charming. Although many footballContinue reading “Kevin Keegan”
