Hi! I'm back!

I have been on a journey this past year.

I apologize to all of you who had initially signed up to read my blog about my journey with Dermatomyositis.   I realize that I have just dropped off and stopped writing.

The truth is, I just didn't want to dwell on my illness. And even writing about it, felt as though I was giving it attention.

Today, I am off all of my medications. I am considered to be in remission.

I want to re-purpose this writing area as a means to share my current experiences.

I have struggled with being vulnerable online.

I have in the past noticed that when I receive feedback for my points of view, I tend to want to turtle into myself & shut down.

I have been guided many times by spirit to share my thoughts.  

So today, is the day.

Today, I have had a profound awareness that who I am is so much more than my 'flesh suit'.  

My body has been healing.

I feel shy to share in chat groups who are for people who struggle with the same disease that I have.

I have had a hard time sharing my success.

I find most people like to stay victimized, and are offended when confronted with someone who looks at the illness a little differently.

Anyway, I intend to move forward, selecting various topics to blog about.  The purpose is to simply share my personal & unique journey. 

To share my gifts.

Ohm Shanti - in peace,

Toni-Lee
