This is an audio ideally, you'll never need.  But should you find yourself dealing with an illness of any severity, I wanted to offer some suggestions to bring peace and comfort.

This audio idea was a request and so I sat down and collected my thoughts about a time I was going through a prolonged illness, and share the resources and mindfulness that helped me through it.

I hope you will find this useful ...of course I know I'm not a doctor, so please be sure you're consulting trained professionals when it comes to taking vitamins or other physical options.  

I have a PhD in caring about you though, so you can always trust that like ♥

Much love to you my sweet ones.

These are conversations, long and thoughtful, best made over a cuppa. And why I always take time responding, after some reflection. There were a few moments when I was ill recently and had to stay in bed when I realized how important it was to listen to my body, to be gracious in giving it what it needs to recalibrate and create balance. And in doing so, I found moments of calm that I wouldn't have had because I'd be too stubborn or too guilt-ridden to slow my pace. Each journey is different, I know. This is just my own experience of things.

This took a long time to figure out what I wanted to say. I used to find it easy to comment on social media but in the last 2 years I've felt as if I've lost my ability to do that. Partially due to losing most of my social connections since 2017 and partially life circumstances but I decided enough already. This audio was such a great reminder to watch the negative & mean thoughts about my body and focus more on fighting with my body instead of against it. Thanks for sharing your story and I'm so sorry you had to go through what you did. I've had CFS and Fibromyalgia for many years, but I remember the struggle at the beginning just to figure out what it was and get to a place of acceptance. I eventually found ways to manage it, learned to pace myself, and live a fairly normal life for quite a while. Then came a time when I was trying to manage work, take care of home, and be my aging mom's caregiver and things got a lot harder for a few years. By the time Mom passed in 2018, I was at the point of burnout, my condition was out of control and I also developed rheumatoid arthritis. Then in April 2020 I lost one of my closest friends to brain cancer. Shelagh was a huge part of my support system with my illness, but the thing I miss most is how much we laughed together. I've been fighting to get back to a point of managing well with it, but it seems like it's one step forward two steps back these days. So again thanks for the great reminder to accept what is and drop the negative thinking for kinder thoughts. And the meditation is going to help me stay calm and centered when I'm not feeling great. You really do have a PhD in caring for us!
