Three days left!

This last month has been absolutely everything!

After nearly seven years, for the first time I started dealing with the trauma of the diagnosis. I said to Greg the other day, knowledge is power…but ignorance is bliss (I’ve been a master at the latter for most of it). It’s much less about what is, but more about what might be coming…and reading and studying about MS and dealing with that requires real mental strength and faith. I learned that it’s a good idea to stop saying that we’re “fighting an autoimmune disease”…for we are part of the entire process of these illnesses, instead we need to do everything we can to bring ourselves into a state of balance again. So I’m learning a lot about strength, challenges, the power of the mind, connection, forgiveness and so much more. I’m far from there, and who knows what’s to come but I am so grateful to be able to learn it all. 

How powerful to let go of what doesn’t serve us anymore 💙 how powerful to respect ourself and our bodies and forgive ourselves for past mistakes 🙏 I wish us all that we find peace, hope and calmness amongst the traumas in this world. That we find the peace to heal our own wounds so we can continue healing others. For all we will ever have, is now.

If you want to support the work of the MS Society, I have only 7km left to run this month :) And if you are someone that feels heard or motivated or knows someone that is teaching mindfulness, supports people with chronic illnesses in this context, I’d love to connect :) To feel left alone with some of this is actually the hardest.
