    What I’m reading

    I’ve recently finished Beautiful by Katie Piper and loved it so much I immediately downloaded Beautiful Ever After, the ‘sequel’.

    TRIGGER WARNING - AB TRIGGERS

    Most of us, I’m sure, will know of her - the model and TV presenter who was viciously attacked by her ex boyfriend and left with horrendous injuries and disfigurement. These books document her fight for life, long, slow recovery mentally and physically, the court case, and her work setting up and running the Katie Piper Foundation which works to help people with burn injuries.

    She’s incredible, truly inspirational. Her story is horrific but she almost never feels sorry for herself. Her positive attitude and fighting spirit are phenomenal but she is truly, truly humble. I’ve learnt a lot from her
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
