Happy Holidays everyone and farewell (for now)
Where I am in Sydney Australia, it is early Friday morning on the 20th of December… that means it is only a few more sleeps until Christmas… and that means, we’re about to enter a period of festive fanfare and potential chronic pain chaos. Last week I blogged about the…

Rolling through Christmas
When my children were very little, I started a “good for everyone” habit. After I had snuck away to my bedroom late at night and wrapped the Christmas presents, and hidden them away on the top shelf, I collected the cardboard inner-tubes from the wrapping paper. “These will be great…

A dinner date: let’s play pretend
Some days it can get pretty lonely when you’re dealing with pain, or when life is simply overwhelming, and you feel like it’s all a bit of a struggle. So, let’s do something a little different today… let’s pretend that we’re going on a dinner date together. I’ve sent you…

“Unleashing my inner power: Dare to dream”
I’ve mentioned before that I spend most of my reading-time in Blog-land, but I do occasionally get out and about on Instagram and LinkedIn. It was over on LinkedIn that I met Amber Horrox from the United Kingdom who “helps migraine warriors find their voice” when she regularly writes for…

Laundry madness
I’m not a huge fan of being a housewife. That’s not to say I’m a prissy-princess either; I clean toilets with the rest of you. It’s just that doing the same chores over and over can get a bit tedious. Throw in some constant face-pain and waves of nausea and…
