The Letters of Katie Wilson

A gentle reflection on choosing the first olive branch: why reaching out, naming hurt without blame, and practising forgiveness can save friendships

A gentle reflection on how anger hardens conversations, and why choosing calm, humility, and understanding can transform the way we live together. A reminder that peacemaking is not weakness, but wisdom.

A gentle tribute to West Ham legend Billy Bonds, shared from the perspective of an Arsenal supporter. A reflection on loyalty, leadership, and the moments when football rivalries fall away in honour of a life lived with courage and devotion.

A quiet, personal reflection on rejection sensitivity — the moment I finally understood why small comments can feel so painful, how those feelings live in the body, and why stepping back from online spaces is sometimes an act of self‑protection rather than distance.

A quiet reflection written to an unknown soldier of the First World War. A moment to pause, to remember, and to honour the young lives changed forever by a war they could never have imagined.

A gentle look back at the teacher who shaped my childhood more than forty‑five years ago. In this episode, I revisit the small moments, the encouragement, and the quiet confidence that Mr Surr gave me. A soft, reflective memory about the impact a good teacher can leave long after the classroom doors have closed.

A quiet, vulnerable letter to my brother — a reflection on childhood violence, the long shadows it casts, and the complicated tenderness of forgiveness. A story about brokenness, memory, and the grace of letting go.

A gentle moment from a morning walk, sparked by a handful of conkers — some shiny, some bruised, all unique. A small reminder of how easily we judge what looks damaged, and how differently God sees us.

This is a letter about how I felt after the supreme court decision regarding trans women. More than anything it's about how sad that I felt about people not being able to talk and debate without everything getting toxic.
