13 Year Anniversary since my surgery

Today marks thirteen years of my surgery. Through the past years my emotions have often been conflicting. Exhilarating relief followed by recent experiences of depression, anxiety and loss of self esteem. I am a work in progress. When I shared my symptoms and experiences, someone asked me "But where do you see yourself  in 5years from now". At that moment all I wanted was to feel accepted, understood and a sense of personal peace. But personally I didn't see myself in the same position, especially at work.  After several months of sleepless nights and repeated thoughts that lingered on my mind, I can finally say that I'm much at peace.

My normal day would start of with up to four visits to the bathroom or until I feel that my j pouch is empty. This is besides the early morning visit to the bathroom around 1am. With a busy working environment it has been difficult to maintain a ...

When the path of your season is altered

So often in life we set ourselves for great goals and expectations. When we do not achieve those goals, we feel like failures, sad and mostly shattered. Dont  set impossible goals and allow your expectations to be realistic. Be honest and truthful to yourself, life happens and all your goals may not be achieved. We are all emotional beings. DON'T allow yourself to be fully shattered, use your experience to be a better human. So when your life goals are altered in the season and your path changes, embrace the change even challenge. Use every challenge, failure, inability to strengthen yourself. The knowledge, experience and wisdom would essentially help you and also impact others.  Share your experience and don't feel guilty for being sad at times because with sadness comes gratitude. The quality of your life is determined by how you embrace the moment of your altered season. YOUR body, YOUR mind, focus on Now. You have no control of tomorrow. Live in the moment of your altered...
