A month or so ago I came across this TED talk from Thandie Newton. I have always felt an allegiance to Ms Newton because of her Zimbabwean heritage which is odd because we have lived very different lives – regardless - I absolutely loved her TED talk.

What I’d like you to reflect on after watching this talk is the times when you may have experienced a sense of ‘otherness’ or exclusion from the status quo.

This fortnight’s challenge is to laugh. I would like you to find an opportunity to be really conscious of your happiness and what it is that makes you happy. To assist you in this challenge I have a little something for you to watch/hear, it made me laugh and that made me happy.
