Living with a FOMO mentality

When I first showed symptoms of having an electrically compromised brain, before I even knew it was compromised or even heard of the word Epilepsy, I was living with a personality that never wanted to miss out on ANYTHING. If there was ever anything going on socially, I needed to be there!! Even if there wasn’t anything going on socially, I’d invent something and gather people together so that there miraculously WAS a party happening. My star sign is a Gemini and I have been told that I am 100% aligned with the personality traits of the twin sign. Two …

The Power of Choice

Three very powerful words coming together to create an even more powerful statement The definition of responsibility is: “the state or fact of being answerable, or accountable for something within one’s power, control, or management.” (1) This can be socially, energetically, mentally, health wise and sexually just to name a few. Every action or thought that stems from us we need to be accountable for. The whole look before you leap proverb is a very good illustrative of this as if you just leap into the unknown without having some intention behind it or some personal accountability, you could be leaping in to a whole pool of whoop ass to your personal wellbeing and that …

Speech at Book Launch

Many people have always mentioned to me that setting goals and having dreams are what change your life from being average to ecstatic!! I have never been much of a goal setter or a dreamer. I have just been lucky enough to stumble across incredible situations and people that interest and excite me, follow that path for a while until I realise that I need a new direction and go find something else. I have always lived by the belief that I am “looked after by the universe” and I didn’t need to work too hard to achieve greatness as …

I have a confession to make

This post is part of the Epilepsy Blog Relay™ which will run from November 1 through November 30, 2016. Follow along! https://livingwellwithepilepsy.com/ I have wanted to write a book about my journey with epilepsy for over 15 years now and in my mind, it was always going to be written when I had cured myself of this dreadful brain dysfunction that was playing with my imperfectly perfect world. I kept trying new things and experimenting with a myriad of modalities external to myself like alternative therapies, pharmaceuticals, counselling and diet, all for the end result which was going to be my …

CrowdFund Social – one part of an alleged big internet scam?! – Buyer Beware

Crowd funding is such a vulnerable experience. I have only ever done one to date and so I can only talk on that but I see that people go back for more and more projects to be funded. I would think that the initial vulnerability when you start your campaign, of feeling like you can’t succeed without people’s generosity and vision, never really goes away no matter how many campaigns you do. It was a really exciting nerve wrenching time for me because I’d just finished Electro Girl, my autobiography, but I hadn’t anticipated things to cost so much before …

Wow…I wrote a book!

Many people have always mentioned to me that setting goals and having dreams are what change your life from being average to ecstatic!! I have never been much of a goal setter or a dreamer, I have just been lucky enough to stumble across things that interest me for the present moment, then follow that path for a while until I realise that I am helping someone else live their goals and that something is missing for me. I always maintained that I was “looked after by the universe” and “I don’t need to set goals”. This in turn became …

Making Connections

I used to have a real block against connecting with people that had Epilepsy especially on forums which seemed to be the only method of connection. I didn’t want to be associated with it at all and certainly didn’t want to talk with anyone that had it for some reason. Twenty five years ago when I was diagnosed and to this day as well, there were/are no real time support groups in the city where I live that run on a weekly basis so that people can have a face to face chinwag about the fun, the freaky and the …

Epilepsy: Herbs, Health and dispelling the myths

Why do we feel like we need to hand our power over to others when we become un-well in order for them to make us “well”? Why is the first emotion we engage with fear when we are diagnosed with something out of balance? Why do we seek the knowledge of other’s with the sole belief that they know better than us what would work best for ourselves? The answer as I see it and have lived it, is simple…..we don’t trust ourselves enough or spend enough energy and time on ourselves to really understand how our body and brains …
