Just felt the need to reiterate that what I share in my book, from wide research, were answers that helped me live my life more freely and more joyfully and reduce stress around all of my life including living with a debilitating illness. A lot of the things, surprisingly to me, helped me physically but I am not saying I have found a cure or profess to know any medical in depth knowledge for ME. Which is a ghastly misunderstood condition and many don’t get any alleviation. Which hurts my heart. I just believe reducing any fear when living with an illness can but help our quality of life. But it’s very hard and I can only speak from my experience.  It was research that speaks to all aspects of life too.  Big love ❤️

Just chatting away to any other chronic illness sufferers who might too be having a tricky fatigue-y kind of a day.

I could have just said - I hope you feel seen and understood by someone and no one is telling you that it’s all in your head (as I experienced for years). 

Do I think all the treasures I researched and learnt in my book cause and heal disease? No. 

Do I believe the science of what I learnt from a wide range of scientists can help my body to get to a place it can heal better and that I can find joy and meaning despite an illness or other tough circumstances?  Yes.

Did the treasures in my book help me to feel a fully rounded wholly honest version of myself? Yes. 

Do I think stress, from wherever it may come, causes all disease? No 

Was I a very stressed, impatient person when things went wrong in my life? Yes!

Has having the scientifically researched treasures to reduce stress helped me have a better quality of life and even (with massive surprise to me) helped my physiology? Yes. 

Are all the treasures in my book just made up by me? No!  I was surprised and indeed often angry at a lot of the science because I felt like I was being told again that it was stress that was making me ill.  But then I saw how reducing stress (coz I was the aforementioned very stressy person and angry at being ill) could only help holistically. 

The most important thing is that they were the way for be to become whole and happy in who I am.  That’s all I wish for my loved ones. 

Thank you for the amazing messages in which you have told me the big changes that you have felt from the treasures I leant in my darkness. I am teary eyed reading them. Love oo. ❤️❤️

The focus has naturally been my diagnosis and perhaps some misunderstanding that I say I have cures for chronic conditions.  I don’t. It’s a story of all the pieces of the puzzle that helped me free myself to be less stressed and more wholly and freely me. For me that was a contribution to some physical recovery. But it wasn’t a cure. I hope anyone else who feels in a difficult place or feels unable to be who they are for fear of what others think or say, may find their way to freely living the beautiful brilliant person they are. We all are. The deeper meaning of the title was - I haven’t bee entirely honest with myself. That’s my story.  Love oo. ❤️❤️

I have always admired and respected @beargrylls faith and how he explains the practical and emotional effects of it on his life. 
I loved this book - a wonderful way to read the story of Jesus afresh, and from a ‘normal’, simple way.  Which made it more impactful. Whatever your faith tradition, the message of love is extraordinary. And whatever your faith tradition it is arguably the greatest story ever told. Thanks @beargrylls I was moved and inspired. ❤️

The other way to describe what my book is about is getting to know who you are and freeing yourself to be how you need to be.
For me that includes risking asking my niece who has never cut hair before to cut my hair !  Because I don’t really mind what I look like and don’t like hairdressers…. No offence niece 🤣❤️

Not sure if this made any sense?! I will try some other explanations because for me the book was about a number of key things. This being one of them - discovering how to trust life. How to calmly accept ‘what is’ each day. How to let life unfold with less striving and pushing to get to various goals that I thought might make me feel better or happier. There’s no such time in life when we suddenly become ‘successful’. We are loved and valuable for who we are in all aspects of who we are and what we do. And learning that was a massive part of what the book is. P.S. Those grasses went a bit further up my kaftan than I would have liked... #ihaventbeenentirelyhonestwithyou

A picture of hope for anyone who needs it. 
My story is in my book that’s out now in paperback. I say that not for marketing reasons but I wrote my story in the hope it would help your story. 
As I always say - we’re in this messy magical life together ❤️

Bottom. Not mine. 
Bottoms up to splendid summer moments. 
I am learning to accept it’s about moments and not expecting weeks, years or a life of perfect health and feelings or an upward trajectory of any kind. 
No judgement by measurements of self or life but kindness of finding joyful moments. 
One day at a time. ❤️
