From Sheffield to Nice πŸ‡«πŸ‡· with β€οΈ

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 πŸ‡«πŸ‡· with β€οΈ”

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 πŸ‡«πŸ‡· is not nice!

by Ryan Clement NICE πŸ‡«πŸ‡· IS NOT NICE! It’s stunningly beautiful! I have been blessed to see a few places during my tenure of Earth.

🏝️ Bahamas πŸ–οΈ

by Ryan Clement I WAS TALKING to some Grenadian friends recently when I was asked when would I be visiting Spice Island again? I haven’t returned since I buried my late mother many years ago.

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 “πŸŽΆβ€œLet it be!” πŸŽΆ”

When time allows, however, I love to explore the city or town in which I am working. Most have aContinue reading “Liverpool”

Beauty Beyond Colour: The Power of Black and White

by Ryan Clement There is someone I follow on social media because I enjoy his photographic work. Most of the pictures I have seen from him are in black and white. A few months ago, I published a black and white photograph that I took at the City of Arts & Sciences in Valencia, Spain,Continue reading “Beauty Beyond Colour: The Power of Black and White”

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡· Santorini πŸ‡¬πŸ‡·
