My Health, My Happiness

My Health, My Happiness was created in 2011 as a way for me to document and share my journey of reclaiming my health and happiness after suffering from undiagnosed chronic illnesses (Lyme Disease & several co-infections). Once I was diagnosis and began receiving the medical care that I needed, the blog became more of an ode to self-love and navigating life with chronic illness and dynamic disabilities. Though the journey is still ongoing, after seven years of blogging and documenting my life and experiences on social media, I decided it was time to take a step back and enjoy living life in the present. This blog now acts as an archive, harboring all the many thoughts, feelings, and memories that I had over the years.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.

The journey is far from perfect, but by grace she’ll be strong, she’ll make it.

the strongest ones bleed in silence. have no one applauding their growth. have no one watching their healing process. they bloom in silence.

Remember: 5 months is not eternity. 2 months is not eternity. Even if it looks that way now.

the law of attraction is very much real. you don’t necessarily have to “think positive” every second of every day, that’s not realistic. but be mindful and align your thoughts with what you’re trying to accomplish. express gratitude as much as you can, and always anticipate the best out of every situation, even when you’re going through a rough patch.

raise your vibration and the universe will match you tenfold.
