Hello my loves! Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve written a post for you all- this feels strange, but also so good! Happy New Year! I hope you’re all doing as well as possible and that you managed to find a little light relief over the last few weeks of 2017. I have to […read more]
After I was able to actually be awake and ‘functioning’ enough to think about it, and even maybe on a good day, read a paragraph of a book, I suddenly started to ask myself, “Is it my fault that I have CFS?”. Was it really as bad as all I thought it was? Maybe […read more]
This post has been a long while in coming. Could I find the right words to express what I’m feeling to you all? 2016 has been quite a journey so far. We became Australian citizens in January, I legally changed my name to my married name of ‘MacDonald’ (and couldn’t be prouder), the Universe decided […read more]
We’ve all done it, and maybe we’ve found a tiny breadcrumb or two something, but at some stage we’ve all looked for evidence that CFS healing is possible. Now, I’m not much of a scientist and, as many of you know by reading my story, I didn’t heal via traditional medical means (not that there’s […read more]
I couldn’t believe it when I looked at my other posts and realised that the last thing I put up was this little video in February. It feels incredibly strange being back here and sharing why I’ve been away from the blog with you all, but I’ve slowly been inching my way back onto Facebook […read more]
If you’ve felt as though you’ve been try to run through syrup for the last few months of 2016 (i.e. trying to get somewhere, but definitely not at your own pace and not always sure of where you’re going), you’re not alone! These past few months I’ve used oracle cards a lot to bring me […read more]
What We All Need To Hear There will be periods in life when you’re going through a bit of a difficult time, but there’s something missing. I posted this on Facebook the other day and I’m so glad that it resonated with lots of you. Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve felt as though I’ve […read more]
If you’ve followed my blog for a little while, you know that I talk about acceptance quite a lot, but what does acceptance really mean? I’ve discussed it in my e-books and also in this very special webinar I gave last year, but recently after mentoring many new clients, I find myself coming back to […read more]
Although the vast majority of this post is written with CFS/ME in mind, it can apply to many aspects of our lives. We all get stuck to different extents- it can take a few moments or even years to pull ourselves out of it (something I have experience with myself). Sometimes, there might even […read more]
This post is dedicated to Lisa. I’ve just received an email asking about how to cope with losing friends and other acquaintances when you are ill, and wanted to share my thoughts on this. This definitely happened to me (click here to read my story), and it was a very distressing part of my […read more]
Dear Rebecca Campbell… A few weeks ago, you were so kind and generous, and sent me a copy of your gorgeous new book, ‘Light is the New Black’. I secretly hoped that you’d have written something inside the cover of the book and indeed you had: I read on with so much enthusiasm, as I’ve been […read more]
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realised that I’m not really one for New Year’s resolutions. I had all sorts of plans to write one of my most glittering and best Chronic Fatigue blog posts of the 2016 and welcome it all in, but it didn’t want to happen. I’ve tried sticking with various things, and […read more]
I’m sitting here on New Year’s Day in the house where I grew up in the North-East of England visiting my family. I had absolutely no intention of writing anything for a few weeks yet and for really making space for ideas to come to me after writing my book in 2015. However, if you’ve […read more]
