I take memory supplements to help recall my lines, says Judi Dench – via Telegraph

March 20, 2013 By Lee

 

I take memory supplements to help recall my lines, says Judi Dench – Telegraph.

Would we ever know that? No! Don’t tell the audience what they don’t need to know i.e. “I’m very nervous today, i can’t learn my lines etc etc.”. Be yourself, be confident.

Leeds Vicars son speaks out about his fathers asbestos death.

 

 “When I got the invitation from the Alwoodley Allsorts community group” said Lee “I

just put it in my diary and forgot about it. But when they told me that it was going to

be held in my Dad’s former church (where he married me and my wife Clare) I

realised I needed to talk about him and his death” Lee says “It was lovely to see so

many people there from my teenager years. We had lots of laughs as I told of my

exploits and we had tears too as I shared about my Dad’s sudden illness and death.

My Dad was a good man and we aren’t bitter about what happened, we just want to

help as many people as we can through awareness and support. I’m really proud of

the work that my Mum does and of the excellent June Hancock fund. We were glad

to raise £250 on the evening too.”

 

Leeds speaker and author Lee Jackson was recently invited to speak to a

community group in Alwoodley. But instead of doing one of his ‘motivational’ talks he

changed tack and decided to speak about his life growing up in Leeds and his

father’s sudden death from Mesothelioma (an asbestos-related cancer).

Lee decided to use the talk, to many of his father’s former parishioners,

to raise awareness and money for the June Hancock Fund for research into this rare disease.

 

Rev. Peter Jackson who died in 2006 was a much loved vicar in Alwoodley and

Holbeck, Leeds. Just after his retirement, and all ready to see his granddaughters

grow up, he was diagnosed with mesothelioma. After feeling slightly unwell he died

only three months later from this rare and aggressive form of cancer. He developed

the disease over 40 years after being exposed to asbestos when he was an

electrician in the chemical industry in Teesside.

 

Peter’s widow Avril continues today to help other widows of this terrible disease

through the M.A.R.C. (Mesothelioma And Related Concerns) support group

and also helps out at St Gemma’s Hospice.

 

Definition:

Mesothelioma (also known as ‘diffuse’ or ‘malignant’ mesothelioma) is a relatively

rare form of cancer which affects the membraneous lining of the chest (the pleura)

and, less commonly, the lining of the abdomen (the peritoneum). The disease can

take 10 – 50 years (or even longer) to develop and is usually associated with

asbestos exposure

The self-help / positive thinking industry can be misleading and sometimes plain wrong but… gratitude journals shine through…

November 20, 2012 By Lee

How to feel up in a downturn by Oliver Burkeman – The Guardian article is here – guardian.co.uk

Extract…”For the past year or so, sporadically, I have kept what the University of California psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky calls a “gratitude journal”: a notebook in which I list between three and five things for which I am currently thankful. Naturally, I am hugely embarrassed to admit this. Keeping the journal contradicts my sense of myself as a sceptical, rational, irony-appreciating British person, immune to the lures of cheesy, Oprah-esque, feelgood nonsense. Besides, I have political qualms about techniques that might turn me into a grinning, uncomplaining conformist: perhaps we should be angry and gloomy about, say, our politicians’ behaviour, or the state of the climate. The awkward truth, though, is that keeping a gratitude journal has made a detectable and sustained difference to my state of mind….”
