The mental health tag on Blue Monday
Hey everybody! So today is the 21st January 2019 and it is known as Blue Monday, a day that is meant to be the most depressing day of the year. I talk about mental health here on my blog so when I saw The Spoonie Mummy did this I thought why not do the mental health tag on Blue Monday? 1. What is your mental health issue? I have chronic depression which started when I was about 14 and generalised anxiety disorder I have always had that 2. Do you have medication and/or therapy? Yes I take antidepressants and I have most of my life, on and off I have…
Resolutions and Affirmations for 2019
Hey everybody! Wow it is New Years Eve and this year has been insane like honestly I feel like I have been through so much! We lost my beautiful Grandmother just before my birthday, and I have been on a spiritual journey meditating for almost an hour a day, studying and getting kind of addicted to crystals! But this spiritual journey has changed everything, I feel so much more stable emotionally and this is the happiest I think I have ever been! So as I look ahead I thought I would share my resolutions and affirmations for 2019! Resolutions Be more organised: I really have been struggling to keep up…
Pacing Problems
Hey everybody! This week I have felt all over the place and honestly it had all been because of pacing problems! I think this is something that all chronic illness warriors will agree with me about, pacing is a constant struggle!! In the past I have posted about how to pace yourself for special occasions, and for a while there I thought I had it down pretty well. However, now I have a low blood count again, and the house is getting dusty and I just wish I could find a way to juggle all the things that need doing with the amount of energy my body can give me…
Feeling happy at Christmas
Hey everybody! Well now if you have been reading my blog for a while, you might be aware that Christmas is a very difficult time for me since my Grandparents passed away. It just was always a time that was very focused on them and I have been dreading it to be honest. But then as I looked back over my week, as I always do on a Friday, I realised that I might actually be feeling happy at Christmas! It took me a moment when I realised to think it through and really digest what that meant. I mean Christmas has been a dark time and I have been…

Ups and downs
Hey everybody! Well December has arrived, and we are all reflecting back on the year, while either dreading or getting excited for Christmas. As we look back we realise we all have times where we struggle but it is rarely all one way or the other, life is just full of ups and downs. Over the last few days I have been thinking back, and a good way of doing this I realised was to look at my vision board. I have never made one before, but I recently read a book called Moonology where the author teaches you about how to work with the moon and part of it…
Having past life regression and meeting inspiring people
Hey everybody! Having past life regression and meeting inspiring people has been what this week was all about it was so cool but oh so tiring!! I love going on adventures but sometimes it just feels a bit overwhelming and by the end of the week I would rather be curled up sleeping than doing anything else! On Monday’s post I talked about having crystal healing for the first time and I can honestly say my pain and fatigue have been more manageable since! The pain and fatigue are still there I would be lying if I said wow it is a miracle I am cured because I still have…

I had crystal healing for the first time
Hey everyone! It is true I love alternative therapies and finding new ways of treating my chronic illnesses. So I thought I would try Crystal Healing it is something I have only just heard about but my friend does it so no time like the present! Recently I have had a lot of pain, I had a bout of gastritis and I have a very low blood count at the moment probably because of it. So I have found myself struggling to do things and get things done, which I have to admit is so frustrating at times, but haven’t we all been there before as chronic illness warriors? And…
Looking back as I look forward
Hey everybody! First of all I owe you an apology last week was a bit crazy and instead of pushing out a not so good post I thought I would look after myself and have a week off. However, here you are so maybe I should explain that I have been going through a lot of self-discovery recently and because of this I find myself looking back as I look forward. Last Friday was so exciting I went to the Mind Body and Spirit festival which was held at the NEC in Birmingham. It is not too far from me and I was lucky enough that one of my friends Josh…
Wait for this all to blow over
Hey everybody! Welcome back to my blog, and wow this week has been kind of tough for me both with my mediumship and my health! I really want to get going and keep growing but somehow my body has been asking for me to do nothing and just wait for this all to blow over! Patience has never been something I have been especially skilled at, and to be honest I would like to be better at it. The problem is when you pray for patience God tends to make you wait for things! However, knowing this I have been praying to have more patience and to accept things will…
When a pain flare is overwhelming
Hey everybody! My pain is flaring at the moment and I will be honest it is kind of worrying and overwhelming! I am trying to keep my chin up and keep going, I think sometimes pain and fatigue can stop us in our tracks then we find our ways of coping; So when we flare it can be difficult to find our feet again because we are already running at a much lower pace than most people could cope with! What is a flare? A flare is when your symptoms get worse but it is because of something you know and you are sure it will get better, for…
