Beauty of Autumn, Seeing the Abundance

Many of you have the season of Autumn in full force. The leaves have turned color and they are falling on the cooler days and nights. For those of us who like the cooler weather to chill the fire of illness, we are provided a season to get outside and breathe in the crisp nourishment of Autumn. Can we see the abundance in the magnificent colors, the cool winds, and the plentiful foods? Don’t let the change of season slip by just because of chronic illness.

Nutty Black Holes in Chronic Illness

Oh my golly gee wiz… the nutty black holes that we get sucked into during chronic illness is awful. It is BLACK. It is scary and there never seems to be a way out. Black holes in space, supposedly, don’t have a way out. But we do. Nothing easy about it but we can do this. Really, we can escape out of the black holes of chronic illness.

Huggable and Buggable

One minute we find ourselves quite huggable and delight in the peace of it all. Then, another moment we realize we are buggable to others. We are all huggable and buggable — wherever there is light, there are bugs!! How can we shine the best during chornic illness?? Oh stars, I don’t know!!!

Diving In During Chronic Illness

diving into blue-mind during chronic illness

This summer did you find yourself diving into anything? Did you dive into fun and laughter at a pool party? Or maybe your big dive was the sheer power it took to get to a pool to wiggle your toes in the cool water. Chronic illness might change how we experience it but it doesn’t have to keep us from the enjoyment and calming effects of water.

Do We Resent Our Bodies For Getting Sick?

You know what resentment looks like. We do it and see it in life and interactions with others. But what about resenting our own bodies just because they got ill? At some point during our chronic illness did we turn resentful toward our bodies that “let us down?” It is more difficult to scoot along through life if we are resentful of our own bodies.

Celebrating the Coconut

Coconut oil, cream, milk, hair products, sunblock, by-products like charcoal, all come from the coconut. Coconut sugar and coconut-based toothpaste, the coconut is everywhere these days. And thank goodness. It is World Coconut Day so let’s celebrate.

Are You Funny During Your Chronic Illness?

Usually, the two don’t mix. Funny and illness, what a joke. The sicker I got, the less funny I became. Truth be known, I was way too serious, shhhhhh. Any little funny I had got rubbed raw, sandpapered down to the bone while I was chronically ill. That’s a shame. Funny can help us put illness in its place.

Going Bananas, National Banana Split Day

Banana splits do not have to be junk food. We can make them with organic bananas and healthy ice cream. We can even add our own healthy chocolate syrup to it, with cherries on top while keeping it healthy and nourishing.

Hiding Troubles During Chronic Illness

for all the problems you try to hide, let them float away

It is common for those who are chronically ill to hide many of their troubles. There are problems, worries, fears, needs, obstacles, and the list never ends. Our emotional state may become more fragile and we start to stuff the troubles. It bogs us down, keeping us stuck. Some of those troubles can be released in balloons. Certainly does not fix everything, but it significantly lightens the load of chronic illness.

Watermelon Blue-Mind, Floating Out of Stress

Sticky fun watermelon in the pool just might be the way to go. By using water we can calm our minds and help clean up the stickiness of getting through a hot summer. During chronic illness, summertime heat can become tiresome. Stick your toes into a blue pool and be cool!!
