Staying on course
Whenever I step away from my truth, Illness draws me back inside. It makes me re-connect with the fragility of my body and take a good hard look at what I consider real life.

When you begin to forget, remember

The way I define some things
Inspiration: A moment when you feel you have finally recognised what you were looking for. Contentment: Having a smile on my lips, peace in my mind and love in my heart. Knowing that all I should have in my life at that moment is inside me and around me. Courage: The ability to listen toContinueContinue reading “The way I define some things”
