Keeping the peace can be a difficult task -my mentor always instilled ‘blessed are the peacemakers….’

However, in reality it can of course open one up to be accused of being a softie/a pushover but I know which I would rather be. Being strong and confident does not mean that you are free from pain when others are tactless.

So what we must also remember is that the peacemakers are also sensitive and regular human beings so spare a thought for their feelings too.

Today’s mantra be kind, be kind and kinder still!
