Initially I only shared this site with a handful of women I not only trusted but knew I could share this with without worry of judgement but also because some of them didn't know what I was dealing with.
I have had quite a crazy journey health wise and I didn't address what I needed. There was always an excuse to not listen to what I needed. It was easier to put others before myself than it was to deal with what I needed to. I battled pseudtumor cerebri twice. I had my cancer scares. I came close to losing my vision. I lived a year pretty much as a recluse, lost in my depression and falling victim to horrible headaches. Several years medicated and putting a bandaid on what was truly ailing me.
Writing here has opened up my heart in ways I didn't think was possible. It has given me the courage to talk about the things I used to be so scared and so worried to talk about. There is a freedom that has come with opening up. But I want so much more than a one sided conversation. I hope eventually you guys will post comments of your thoughts, share your issues and concerns. I find so much renewal in my purpose when I am able to communicate with others.
My journey has not been perfect, it has been filled with some dark paths and crooked roads but it has also seen it's fair share of sunshine. If there is anything I hope anyone takes from reading my work, it is that no matter what path your life might take, there are always going to be guides along the way, rest stations, and comfort stops. Find those moments to get you through.
Communication is a wonderful gift my friends, let's use it.
