I’ve been asked a lot about the difference between CFS and ME recently, so I thought I’d write a short post about it. When I was diagnosed, I was diagnosed with M.E (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and I was incredibly sick. Over the years however, the term CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) has come to replace the term M.E- […read more]
Finding ME on Amazon My new book, ‘Finding M.E.’, is now available in paperback and Kindle formats, via Amazon. You can also jump over to my author page here (my own page on Amazon- who’d have thought it!) As many of you know, this book has been quote a journey. I’ve procrastinated over it, got […read more]
As many of you know, I’m currently in the process of launching my new book, ‘Finding M.E.’. If I’m completely honest, it’s all a little surreal, and I feel as though everything’s moving in slow motion. I’m definitely being called to just trust that everything will work out for the best and not to push […read more]
As some of you know from my Facebook page, I recently had an incredible experience on the Great Barrier Reef which involved me basically smashing my fear of water. I’ve been absolutely terrified of water ever since a distressing experience at Primary School, but it’s only in the last few years that I’ve come […read more]
One of the main things I speak to my coaching clients about is noticing when their lives reach a bump in the road. I don’t mean the huge, life-changing experiences that can either make us or rip us to shreds- I’m talking about the roads and paths we take every day. You’re ticking along […read more]
I’ve been there myself and felt that pang of anger in my stomach, that moment when I’m catching up with friends and they complain that they’re having to take on a lot more work because their colleague is suspected of having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). I used to react, but I don’t anymore- it’s impossible […read more]
“Pace yourself, you’re going to tire yourself out.” “One day at a time.” (The worst!) “Everything will happen in its own time.” I’m sure a few people might have said these things to you (amongst others) while you are recovering. They are all said with love and are meant to help you, but can […read more]
Since starting my blog, I’ve had my fair share of emails and comments from people who really just don’t believe that it’s possible to recover from CFS (click here for more on those pesky labels, if you’re interested!). I’m in the very, very final stages of my book (yipee!), but I have to admit that […read more]
What is your priority? Name it and say it loud and proud. A priority is a priority for a reason. There’s only one of them- you can’t have it all. Well, you might be able to have bits of everything, but treating them all with the respect and time a priority deserves is pretty much […read more]
I have to admit, I wrote the title to this post and laughed a little. Since when did we feel that we have to put ourselves last and put our owns interests, fun and needs behind everyone else’s? (Why does it seem as though women are affected by this more than men?) As many of […read more]
Over the last few weeks and even as I sit here writing this today, change and the realisation that I might be frightened of change has been staring me right in the face. Even when I’m not looking for it, it keeps on popping up- in blogs posts, in articles on the internet, in […read more]
I’ve received so many emails from you beautiful people about Energy Medicine, which I see as being the major catalyst for my healing from CFS and the beginning of an amazing period of personal realisation and transition. This has ultimately culminated in me sharing my story in the hope that you too can heal yourself from this frustrating illness. […read more]
Having had a lot of time to think and read over recent weeks (click here to find out why!), I was gently guided back to the work of Louise Hay. Louise’s book, ‘You Can Heal Your Life’, as for so many people, was the first book that started taking me on a journey of physical […read more]
