“Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” I often think of these wise words from Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and even more so during this challenging year for so many people.

Arch is one of the most positive, funny, life-affirming people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. So I’m sure he is looking on the bright side after his cottage was damaged by a fire. Thankfully Arch and Mrs Leah Tutu are both fine and there were no injuries. Having experienced quite a few fires ourselves over the years, Joan and I were pleased to hear they are in good spirits.

It was Arch and Leah’s 65th wedding anniversary recently, and they shared the delightful, moving tale of their relationship. It details their routine, their habits, Arch serving Leah coffee in bed, Leah nursing Arch when he isn’t feeling well - the little things that add up to an enormous whole.  

“We (human beings) are made for loving. If we don’t love, we will be like plants without water,” Arch says. “He was fragile when we married, but his spirit was stronger than a lion. His inner self is much stronger than his body.” Leah says. Thank you for the inspiration, Arch and Leah, and wishing you all the best from all of us around the Virgin family.

Amidst the reflection, celebration, and optimism lay the landmarks, if we can recognize them.” He concludes saying, “If there is anything to take from a graduation speech, it’s that everyday should be a graduation. Everyday should be an opportunity to stop, just for a moment, and look forwards and backwards. Otherwise, one day spills into the next. One day becomes ten or twenty years.” Between the two thoughts, he makes everyday graduation, inviting us into the start of a ski race, the bright lights of open-mic night at a comedy club, first steps and trying something new like learning to draw.

Along the way he introduces us to our best selves—the fun, bright and charismatic ones. Chris Waddell’s story is different from ours, but it feels familiar—familiar to the lives that we hope to lead. Thin
