  • Team Challenge – are you game?

    Team Challenge – are you game?

    When I used to work full-time in the city, every coffee shop that I went to had a Loyalty Card: “buy 9 coffees – get one free”. Of course, you had to keep track of all the cards in your handbag and find the right one for the right shop…

  • I’M ONE YEAR OLD!!!

    I’M ONE YEAR OLD!!!

    Woo hoo – pinch me (gently) – I can hardly believe it – The Mindful Migraine Blog turned one year old today…!! As I’ve mentioned before, I started this blog because I was sad and lonely and couldn’t find anything like it online.  I was looking for real-life information about…

  • Rise (and rise again)

    Rise (and rise again)

    Music makes a huge difference to my ability to deal with pain… and life’s ups and downs in general. I have a channel over on Spotify where I collect relaxing music to listen to when I have a migraine so that I feel less lonely lying around in the dark.…

  • Mini-mindfulness course

    Mini-mindfulness course

    A couple of people have asked me if I have any plans to write a mindfulness course to purchase… the answer is no… I don’t have the time, energy or skills to create the additional content to a level of quality that you all deserve, AND I want everything I…

  • Find your WHO

    Find your WHO

    OK, confession time: I’m not really up on the whole DC comics or Marvel thing, or (yell at me now) what the difference between the two ‘worlds’ is… but… sometimes you find yourself “in” their world regardless. In Australia, one of our major supermarkets had a promotion a while back…

    8 or infinity? (It’s a matter of perspective!)

    Today marks my 8-month anniversary of blogging. On one hand it seems a little amount of time compared to the timespans of so many other blogs that I visit and enjoy… on the other hand, it seems like a big achievement for a chronic pain “sicko” like me! I say…

    The face of (dis)ability

    OK, so the photo is accidentally very low resolution – and it’s not the most flattering image of me I’ve ever taken – but hopefully it gets my point across.  People who are sick are also capable.  A while ago I wrote a post about living with brain-fog and in…

  • Half a year old!

    Half a year old!

    Can you believe it?!?@#$!?! The Mindful Migraine is 6 months old today! I usually go for an image of sparklers to mark the anniversaries of my monthly inchstones, but today’s a BIG date, so I went all out and exploded some fireworks as my post-image! When I first made my…

  • Angel Number 5

    Angel Number 5

    For those of you who are new to my blog, there’s a little habit that I have gotten into, which is celebrating my ‘inchstones’ (as opposed to ‘milestones’). All those little baby-steps that are helping me heal are recognized, including my monthly anniversaries of blogging (which I started on January…
