Morning all x

#Honestly is trending & although I& #39;m not sure why I& #39;m going to use it in relation 2 #Honesty

& I& #39;m going to begin with Peoples Champ #MichaelWatson & why? Because Michael was in my #dream last night

just an echo but enough to set sail 4 a #thread so all aboard

1. Michael has been on an incredible journey - I know this because I& #39;ve read his story & his courage is nothing short of amazing

His comeback from the brink - inspiring

As a man & fellow human being ~ exceptional

He represents the best of what it is to be a #lightworker https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Sparkles" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkles">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Purple heart" aria-label="Emoji: Purple heart">

2. Michael wrote the foreword 4 my last book a deeply personal, poignant piece

here is a section

I& #39;m sure boxing readers will be aware that I nearly lost my life to boxing, in an accident which would require 6 Brain Operations by world leading neurologist surgeon Peter Hamlyn

3 After reading about his remarkable journey back to health AND completing the London Marathon! What also really struck me was his unshakeable faith, his stamina & his innate kindness https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💗" title="Growing heart" aria-label="Emoji: Growing heart">

Here was a man who had been to hell & back & yet he still #shines - he knows his own #power

4. A recent conversation with one of his closest friends, Brendan O& #39;Connor made it clear just HOW much shines..

Ever ready to help others Michael is unflagging in his desire to please - you only have to see his wall to see that

& this is because he has been in a dark place...

5. Think people forget this sometimes ...

But I was given a glimpse last night in a dream that may resonate with all those - & there are many - currently struggling in the dark of our current situation

#anxiety #depression are keeping company all across the land

and the World

6. I was in a small grey space - like a prison cell

And there was Michael - not as you see him now

But as he was then
when he was in his darkest place within himself

Trapped
Helpless
Imprisoned

Oh boy...

7. And so I& #39;ll say this;

We are all of usconstrained at the moment & it& #39;s tough

But we still have the physical power of movement & speech

Can you imagine not having that AND the other !?

And yet this was Michael

Just look at him now..

Just look at him

& feel #HOPE https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Purple heart" aria-label="Emoji: Purple heart">

8. When I came on Twitter last nite I saw so many people, not just at war with the usual suspects - but with themselves
Having not had the best day myself it was a brief foray b4 I retired for the night - but u know what they say everything has its #season

Hence this thread https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💗" title="Growing heart" aria-label="Emoji: Growing heart">
