Boo Thang :-)
I wanted to make sure I am sharing things with you on my way to guiding others with chronic illness into joy and energy and more time!
It has not been easy to practice and create a health journey that I can follow with ease and joy... I am a firm believer in practice. It is important to act upon what you plan out - and quickly - so you are able to identify areas to tweak as needed.
Recently, on my journey of health, I landed in the hospital (again) for what was believed to be a small bowel obstruction (again). I drove to the hospital amidst traffic where someone else also ended up on their way to the hospital, and it got me thinking… Life is precious.
I knew that before, and yet… did I?
While the issue is not entirely clear, I have had a problem with obstructions before, connected to GI issues related to my autoimmune illnesses. While I was in the hospital, I had some time to think more about how I want to continue my journey to a healthier me. Leveraging support, maintaining a healing perspective - with action -, and envisioning the best future I can is all a part of the plan... with assistance.
Also, the first of September was MY BIRTHDAY! I thought I wouldn’t be here… literally. And yet, here I am, writing to you. So… God is good, and I am well… Instagram couldn’t hold me back that day… check out my IG posts here
I am the first to note the simplicity in creating a more physically, emotionally, and spiritually-centered existence. Still, the difficulty is more than there, and support is necessary. During my hospital stay, I was also thoughtful about how to be present. I want my audience and clients specifically to know I am around, to know that through even my ups and downs, I am here for them, ya know?!
Please understand that this journey can be done alone... and chronic illness is tough on joy. I can and will admit that. I did not do it alone and neither should you. If you would like to chat, there is a link for that! If you simply want to be supportive throughout my journey (and your own) reply to this email and let me know what tends to make it the most difficult to access wellness; whether with or without chronic illness?
A look back at my health journey blog post. Sliding back is so easy, moving forward difficult, and yet, with joy, chronic illness can stop defining or owning you. You can and will have a life with more energy, less stress and pain, and way more love.
Please share for anyone who needs a little reminder that joy doesn’t mean you’re ALWAYS happy… you’re simply well…
Much Joy, Love, and Deuces
