This blog is all about living boldly, bravely, thoughtfully, and sensibly in the context of managing autoimmune diseases. Personally, I'm dealing with two of them -- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (otherwise known as SLE or Lupus) and Crohn's Disease. Sure, it's a struggle handling the symptoms, medications, medical care, and the like but the biggest struggle is to remain ME in the face of it all. And that's why this blog was born.
In my life before Lupus and Crohn's, I was a mum, a teacher, a writer, a traveler, a foodie, a gardener, an armchair philosopher, you get the idea. I am still all of these things but in different ways and contexts. I've had to adjust, compensate, re-invent, and, above all, LEARN! The teacher in me wants to share what I've learned; the mum in me wants to nurture and problem-solve; and the seeker wants to learn from and discuss with others.
I have eclectic interests and this blog will reflect that. There will be posts on health care, exercise, fabulous products, current events and issues, food and recipes, shopping, and anything else that strikes my fancy. Or the fancy of the gentle readers I hope will read and respond.
If you're interested in living bravely, healthy, and thoughtfully, this blog is for you, whether you are affected by autoimmune diseases or not. These interesting times in which we live require creativity, resilience, and resourcefulness no matter what challenges you might face. And we all have challenges, don't we? :)
