Some days in life are rather ordinary. Others, not so much. This picture from last Sunday is of my father and I. I had not seen him, nor had any contact with him, in over 33 years. Yup. Crazy, I know.
Was I afraid to reach out? You bet, with every fiber of my being and for a million different reasons. But here's the thing: healing my life is my number one priority, it has been for years, and I certainly won't let a trickster like fear stand in my way.
Is there anything you feel deathly afraid of saying, doing or facing, and yet deep down you know you should? If you want my advice... DO IT. You are the only one who can, you are worth it, and facing your fears never goes unrewarded, regardless of the outcome. ❤ "He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life."

Looking and feeling very legit at the Lyme disease public hearings held in Quebec a couple of weeks ago. This was such an incredible moment, spreading truth to members of all provincial parties alongside renowned Lyme disease experts. Most importantly, I believe we were actually being heard!
•
As someone who has been fighting the good Lyme fight for almost 4 years now, the recent developments all felt and feel so surreal (see link in bio for my very first short Lyme interview back then, while quite sick, in a wheelchair, carrying much anger, pain and confusion, and being oh-so-exhausted; I'd gone undiagnosed for 12 years).
•
Wasn't this what I had been dreaming of doing for years!? Was I now actually doing this for those who have suffered in silence for far too long, including the frail lost girl that I was back then!? Was I really there that day, at the National Assembly, legitimately expressing myself and with an actual shot at affecting change!? 💥
•
This moment simultaneously felt like an out of this world vivid dream that I was observing (while also participating in it), and yet also felt like the most real, natural and grounding moment where I was simply exactly at the right place and the right time, standing firmly in our collective Truth. I trust that what comes next will be the start of a new era of greatness for Lyme disease and co-infections sufferers in Quebec and beyond. 💚
