I read this and thought, That was me at the same age! I had shingles at age 32. My health care providers were like Wait that’s an old stressed out person’s disease …. And the depletion goes on from there.

I’m 59 now and the self care coupled with ambition is freaking hard. I just had my ass handed to me a couple months ago and I thought When will I learn? But in reality, I just simply love to live life and grab it with both hands.

every decade brings its challenges (health, financial, career, etc) — good for you for all the work you’re doing. It will serve you well. Live on, dream on and rest well. 💜

So well written. I relate so deeply. I'm 30 with an aggressive autoimmune disease and just south of you in Terrebonne on our little plot we manage regeneratively and part of that other the past 6 years has been making it regenerative for us as well, where the balance is especially with two kids 5 and under and my shaky health but strong desire to live! Horses and writing are what I'm leaning into to heal and laying down to rest wherever my kids are playing, haha. Chinese Herbs and acupuncture have been a huge part of my healing just message if you are interested in knowing more about that path, it's restored my hope I'll be ok! Thanks for sharing and your words!
