We had two important reasons for moving to rural Victoria at
the end of December. The first was my health, and the second was that we wanted
to live the rural lifestyle. It was our dream. It was also our challenge,
because, let’s face it, if it were easy, we’d already be doing it instead of
dreaming about it.
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

From Grief to Dream
When I first discovered that I couldn’t eat gluten, I was
devastated; even more so when I realised how many products contain gluten. You
can read about my coming to terms with gluten grief in an older post – The 7 Stages of My Gluten Grief.

The 7 Stages of My Gluten Grief
I think that loss is one of the hardest things in life to
deal with. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a limb, or a lifestyle enjoyed
for decades, one is faced with an array of emotions as they adjust to the
changes in their life.
