As many of you know from my Facebook page, I decided a few weeks ago to try going Gluten Free. There wasn’t any particular motivation around this aside from the fact that a friend encouraged me to try it for a week just to see what happened, as she’s been gluten-free for a while. […read more]
Last year, I was very lucky to be interviewed by Dan from the fantastic website, CFS Unravelled, about my recovery as part of his CFS recovery stories series. In the interview, I detail the steps I took to get me to where I am today and it was my first ever live interview on […read more]
Picture taken from here How to Deal with a Diagnosis of CFS I will be forever grateful to the doctor who actually diagnosed my condition and got to the bottom of what was happening during such a confusing time for both my family and myself. When he gave us his opinion, something inside me clicked. […read more]
This CFS Fear Manifesto is something that’s been in the works for a while now. To be honest, the timing’s never really felt right until now, and I was so grateful for how well this manifesto was received that I thought it was high time to release it out into the world. Stick it on […read more]
As many of you know, as well as writing a lot about CFS, I love writing about fear. I have danced with fear for such a long time now, but I mean this in a beautiful, loving way, not in a…well…fearful way. I’ve come to realise that I get scared when I’m on the […read more]

I’m absolutely beyond excited to share this interview with you. I’ve been a huge fan of Belinda’s for a while now, and for some reason, I was incredibly nervous about asking her for an interview. Luckily, she said ‘yes’ and honestly, I read this interview 5 times before putting it together for the blog. […read more]
If in doubt, send love. If you’re picking up bad vibes from someone, send love. If you’re completely over it and want out, send love. If you haven’t got a clue what to do next, send love. If your head is pounding and your fingers are gripped, white at the knuckle, send love. If […read more]
For some reason recently, I found myself thinking about (and being absolutely baffled by! All of the times I went to the doctor while I was ill. For years, I completely pushed CFS away and ignored it- there had to be something simpler going on. Couldn’t they just put me on a week’s worth […read more]
First, let’s start with a confession…well, it’s not really a confession. The thing is, I’m not a great cook- never have been. I used to hate Home Ec classes at school, much to the despair of my Mum and Grandmother who are amazing cooks. I’m a ‘follow the recipe’ kind person and I never really […read more]
Yep, it’s a very random title for a very random audio, but feelings of unworthiness is something that I’ve been brushing up against a lot recently, and it’s bene really playing out in my life in one area in particular.

Accepting The Now For What It Is I’ve known for a while that I’m quite stubborn. I’ve always prided myself on being independent, paying my own way, doing my own thing, but my concept of independence changed completely once I became very ill.
