I’ve never considered myself to be a dishonest person. I’ve never told lies, and I don’t make a habit of it. When you look at the concept of honesty really closely, you’ll see that for most people, it means not being dishonest with other people. You don’t want to upset or disappoint someone else, you […read more]
OK- confession time. I’ve been off work for the last few weeks with a hip and back injury after slipping on a wet patch on the floor of the place we were staying in a few weekends ago up in Byron Bay. I’m not too sure why I didn’t tell you all before now, […read more]
I can hardly believe I’m writing this post, but it seems as though the time has come! (Image by Alice Hampson via Unsplash) Would you like to Proofread my New Book? From the very first word I wrote, my intention with this book has been all about communicating with this community. Therefore, it only seems […read more]
The whole concept of Brain Fog really touches a nerve with me. I’ve never felt so weak and powerless as when I was having a ‘Brain Fog Day’. I felt as is everything I’d ever learned at school had somehow vanished and that all my brain cells had magically disappeared. I felt like a complete idiot- why am […read more]
This Friday at 9am (Sydney time), I’ll be sitting by the computer, keeping everything crossed that my technical knowledge is enough to carry me through if something goes wrong with releasing my first e-book into the world. It’s been quite a ride, so I just wanted to put together a behind-the-scenes look at my new […read more]
A common complaint from the CFS community is that we don’t often hear many recovery stories. To be honest, I’m not sure that I could’ve coped with listening to any bright-eyed, bushy-tailed people telling me how great life was when I was really sick. (After I did a recovery interview with one of my […read more]
Ok, it’s time to come clean. I’m a bit of a tea nut! At the last count I had 10 boxes of tea in the cupboard and no, I’m not joking. It’s all herbal and sometimes, you want to switch it up a little, so having a variety for me is key. As many […read more]
Some of the most visited posts on my site centre around yoga for CFS and chronic illness, but I’ve been wanting to really get to the bottom of the relationship between these two for a while. Does yoga help or hinder chronic illness? Should we be exploring moving our bodies when we’re so sick, […read more]
Like many of you, I’m a bit of a Pinterest gal. There’s just something about being inspired visually by so many beautiful things that really lights me up. A few weeks ago in my feed, someone posted a selection of photos all at once. To anyone without an invisible illness, they are just gorgeous photos, […read more]
I’ve been meaning to write with post for a while as I’ve been getting lots of emails lately about why I insist you should go to the doctor for a diagnosis, rather than just reading a list of CFS symptoms and presuming you’ve got it. I hear you. Who likes going to the doctor?! […read more]
As soon as I stepped through my front door this evening, I was guided to make this little audio for you. It had to be sent out this evening- it couldn’t wait. I’m not sure who is speaking during the audio clip, but it didn’t feel like me and I almost can’t remember recording […read more]
For a while now, I’ve felt a little bit dirty and almost guilty for going shopping. I used to love window shopping with my Mum when I lived back in the UK, but all that changed when I moved to London. All those crowds meant that even when I desperately needed to buy something […read more]
I was first introduced to the concept of affirmations after reading ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ by the wonderful and truly unstoppable, Louise Hay. If you haven’t come across her work before, I can’t recommend her work highly enough. She is proof that if you live from the heart, and away from fear, you become […read more]
