Valentine’s Day is a weird one for me. 10 years ago I experienced a cardiac arrest following a heart attack some 18 months previously (aged 36). I’m celebrating my ten years by raising money for @TheBHF and here is my @JustGiving page justgiving.com/page/stephen-r… #ValentinesDay

I’ve have loved listening to the expertise of so many inspirational practitioners today. Thank you to @TTREnglish and all involved. Such a range of topics but with the commonality of commitment, reflection and passion ❤️#TTREnglish
