Surviving As Mom

After all this time of feeling better, I no longer feel right continuing my blog as person with a chronic illness. While my condition will never fully be “cured”, I feel like I exist more as a normal, healthy person. With that, I need to change the direction of my blogs a bit to reflect more of my current life and lifestyle. I’d feel like a fraud if I continued writing about my almost non-existent illness.

I will keep my blog active with my past posts because that was a big part of my life for over a decade and I know it has helped so many of you. I also don’t want to abandon those who followed me on my journey. There is still valuable info in it for my followers, old and new.

I’d hope that those of you who already follow me would continue to do so , maybe for guidance or even inspiration. Maybe I can offer some hope that you too can possibly recover and start to live your life to the fullest, as I have. I have journaled in detail the steps I took to start and maintain my recovery.

If you are new here, I hope you can understand and respect my journey and maybe even find inspiration for living your best life.

A brief history: My life came to a painful halt as I dealt with autoimmune chronic illness and resulting disability for over 15 years. I was nearly bedridden at times and often homebound. I relied on mobility devices and only existed in pain and sickness. I had almost no quality of life for many years. M

Medicine and doctors failed me and even made me worse. I gave up hope and wanted to die. Then something triggered me to start fighting again and I took my health and recovery into my own hands and through lots of research, lifestyle changes, and experimenting, I healed myself in such a miraculous way. I am still a work in progress but I know how to manage my own health now and I’ve regained my life back. It’s incredible.

I have had the gift of losing my health and mobility, as well as nearly dying after my hysterectomy. Now I truly appreciate every single day. Every fun activity I do that I couldn’t before. Every moment with my family that almost never happened. My life now is truly a gift and I am so thankful for every moment.

My blogs now will be mostly about my life as I’m living it now. It will include my hobbies, which so far are gardening, travel, music, and fitness. I will also share my thoughts about life, mindfulness, and just my new way of life. I hope my words bring you peace, joy, entertainment, and inspiration.

Thank you all for your loyalty and understanding. ❤️
