Fed up with ongoing illness and dissatisfied with the experts’ opinions, I started my own research for answers. My desire for an exact diagnosis and treatment turned into a journey of discovery and the start of a new way of life, not just for me, but for my family too.
Whether you’re reading this because you’re gluten intolerant, suffer from PVFS or CFS, are starting to grow your own veggies, embracing natural and/or alternative remedies, or just want to enjoy the journey with us, please remember I’m not a medical expert, nor am I here to debate global warming. Being diagnosed with a life-changing illness, looking for answers or changing the way one lives can all be overwhelming events, so I hope that by sharing the triumphs and tragedies, you too will benefit in some way from our journey.
I hope you enjoy the journey and if you leave this blog having learnt only one new recipe or started to think about finding your star, then this blog’s purpose has been served.
My two favourite sayings:
Pondering the choices we make at the crossroads is like revision in the school of life. Regretting the mistakes or taking for granted the successes means we have learnt nought.
An attentive student will gain wisdom from the mistakes and joy from the successes. Cartillyer – 2008
'Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.' Mohandas Gandhi
When people hear the name Prince Harry, they think of a cheeky,
redheaded young man who constantly pushes the boundaries, while continuing to
retain the adoration of many. He’s really not much different to our new family
member.
