You guys... It has been too long since I have last posted on my blog. I've been pretty occupied with other things.. And a little tired and no motivation ;) I've had so many different thoughts on what I should write about and what people would rather hear about. I just decided to start writing whatever comes to mind!
Lately, life has been pretty good and I've been feeling okay. My husband and I have started doing do something almost every night. We've been going for evening drives and a couple walks. I can't tell you all how much this has helped me and has made me SO grateful! And can I just tell you all how huge of an accomplishment this is for me?! Seriously though. It wasn't too long ago and getting out of the house was a major task. It happened maybe once a week, if that. I force myself to get up and get out of the house, even if I don't feel real well. There is just something about getting out of the house, getting fresh air and seeing the beautiful things Utah has to offer. It makes my soul feel happy even when I don't feel well. I feel so blessed to have these little opportunities that may mean nothing to some people, but mean so much more to me. I am grateful to spend so much quality time with my husband and to be reminded of the wonderful things God has created.
Pondering on my life and this blog, I've come to realize some important things. Blessings. I've discussed blessings before and how having trials brings blessings, which couldn't be more true. Just writing this right now is bringing tears to my eyes. Not exactly tears of sadness, but tears of hope and gratitude. I look back at the person I used to be and the life I was living to my life now. Yes it is difficult. Living with a disease that is debilitating is never easy. Not for the person with the disease or the people around them. But I can tell you this... Living with Lyme has made me stronger. It's made me grow in many ways, especially spiritually. I've learned so much about myself and the person who I am supposed to be. The person He has wanted me to become. I've learned how to love people no matter what, be thankful in every situation, and to continuously love myself.
Obviously from my previous posts, Lyme makes your mental state not so great, so yes there are times when you don't love yourself and don't love life.. And sometimes it doesn't even feel like it's you who is really thinking/feeling these things. It can be a roller coaster of emotions as I'm sure everyone with a disease or illness can attest to this. For me, the last few days have been so emotional! I can't even really explain why I feel more emotional than usual. Inadequacy is an emotion that often hits me hard. Especially the last few days. I keep thinking back to when I was working as a store manager, having a great income, and pretty much doing whatever I want. It's completely opposite now. I stay at home all day every day. Days I feel good enough I try and find things to keep my busy or at least keep my mind distracted. I think I've been emotional lately because I want change. I want nothing more than to feel great and do accomplish anything I want. I've realized that maybe I can't accomplish and do exactly everything I want, but I've learned that I can start praying more about what I'm supposed to do or supposed to learn at this point in my life RIGHT NOW. I've felt like I'm missing something or supposed to be doing something, but don't know what. However, I know it will come to me eventually and in that process I will just learn so much more about myself and notice the little blessings along the way.
I want to become a mom, so, so bad. I don't know when that will happen or if that will ever happen. And this makes me feel inadequate. I have fears of not being able to ever have kids, fears of not feeling good enough to take care of them once they are born, fears of not being a good enough mom. I'm sure most moms feel this way at one point or another. My amazing husband has given me so much peace and comfort. I don't think he even realizes how much. I explained my feelings to him about all of this stuff the other day. He told me regardless of what happens, it will be okay. He helped me remember that Heavenly Father has a plan for me and He knows what I can and can't handle. He knows me better than I know myself. I have to remember I constantly need faith and patience. It truly doesn't matter when we want something in life. It is all in His timing. Our timetable is NOT the same as His. Never has been and never will be. I know as long as I keep doing what I'm supposed to and doing all I can to draw myself closer to Him every single day, I will continue to be blessed. If I didn't have any of the trials or ever been diagnosed with Lyme and other illnesses, I wouldn't be this grateful. I wouldn't have the love and the appreciation that I do for life itself. It's so precious and it goes by so fast. I'm still learning new things every day and am still fighting Lyme. But I have a heck of a support system full of wonderful people and love. I know healing will not come fast, but I know that throughout my journey, I'll continue to become a stronger, more faithful and just all around better person.
I just want to again thank EVERYONE who has been reading and following my blog. I will try to update more often. I am so grateful for the love and support I have received from everyone and I pray that my blog can help each of you in some way.

As I have been sitting here doing some research today, I've come across a lot of things about Lyme and how it makes you feel, especially emotionally. There have been a lot of negative things discussed and how horrible it is, debilitating, etc. And yes, this is absolutely true. This disease can be VERY debilitating.
My goal when I started this blog and my FB Group was to give people hope and to help them. I want there to be more love and positive outlooks on life especially when suffering from chronic diseases/illnesses. However, trying to constantly stay positive and help others isn't always easy. I've decided today I want to talk about what it's like for me specifically. What it can be like every day.
My Lyme Confessions
#1 - I truly despise Lyme. I don't know why or how I got it, but I did. Over 20 years ago and wasn't diagnosed until 2011. Seriously one of the most frustrating things ever! I sometimes wonder why it took so long to diagnose me and if I would've been diagnosed sooner, could I be healed by now?
#2 - My emotions get the best of me sometimes. I had to quit my job back in February and I haven't worked since. This was the worst thing ever. I have never had to quit my job due to being ill. There are times when I missed weeks of work, but luckily I was blessed to have such understanding bosses. When it got to this point, I felt like a failure. A huge failure. I felt like my world was slowly caving in. I couldn't be this super independent person and do whatever I wanted to anymore. I moved away from my family and part of me felt like I needed them. I was engaged at this time and thinking about getting married and planning it made me sick to my stomach. I would think to myself, "why would all this happen now?" "why?" It didn't make sense to me and I would get so upset and angry. I could feel my confidence, positive attitude, faith, hope, strength, everything start to dwindle. I became really hard on myself. Because I physically was not able to do pretty much anything at all, even take a simple shower or bath, I doubted everything about myself. Including my love for myself.
#3 - I felt inadequate to get married. In the past, I always wanted to marry an amazing man and start a family. However, when I would have my flare ups or feel super ill while dating someone, I told myself, "I can't let this become somebody else's burden.I would feel horrible if they had to deal with this." So deep down, I probably sabotaged my relationships. (Which I'm completely okay with now). I didn't know how in the heck I was going to feel good enough to go to the Temple and be sealed to my sweetheart if I couldn't even get out of bed most days. I didn't know how I was going to be a good enough wife. I felt so undeserving of my fiance (at the time). I wanted to be the best fiance and the best wife ever. I just doubted everything about this and constantly feared it wouldn't work.
#4 - I began to love myself less. Lyme messes your brain up big time. Your thoughts become so mixed/messed up sometimes. Because of all these things I had to give up or quit in my life, I felt no good. No good for anything besides keeping my bed warm. Before my last flare up or episode, I felt like I could conquer the world. I had been working so hard on loving myself and everyone around me. I had been doing a lot of energy work, going to the temple, praying, reading, meditating, etc. I felt good even on days I felt bad. But this all changed. It hit me harder than it's ever hit me in my life and I wasn't mentally prepared for any of this. I started having unhealthy thoughts about myself.
#5 - I felt so alone. I sat home alone all day and still do. Monday through Friday. And let me tell you, it's probably one of the hardest things to deal with some days. Like the last week. I have been feeling so sick and all I've been doing is laying on my couch, watching TV. Hardly moving all day long. It really gets to a person. I've cried A LOT. I want to just go lay out by the pool or go lay outside, be somewhere else, have my mom here, etc. But I don't. My legs have been in so much pain, my back hurts, I have pressure in my head, upset stomach, sore neck, etc. Being alone all day really is no fun after a while. And I'm going on 6 months now.. What I would give to be zoning every day or working again.
#6 - I miss being social. I love people! I love meeting new people. I enjoy being around others who make me laugh or make things feel better. I was attending church almost every Sunday before now. I was attending the temple almost weekly. I would go on dates, go out to dinners, movies, parties, etc. I've kissed that goodbye.
#7 - I miss food. Holy cow!! I cannot tell you how hard it is not being able to enjoy what you like. It sounds silly to some, but food is something I love! Why does it have to be so bad?? Why can't I enjoy a splurge now and then?? If I do, I'm sick for who knows how long and it takes days, sometimes weeks to recover from something as small as a cookie or brownie. My digestive system has gone through so much and with Lyme, you have to be SOO careful on your diet.
#8 - I miss my old self. I use to be so active. Constantly working out, being active outdoors, having lots of energy, etc. The thought of working out makes me sick now. When you have to change your life completely, it hurts. It really does. I don't care what people say, it's not easy.
#9 - I really want a family someday. The thought of becoming a parent scares me. Lyme can be passed through to the children and yes, it scares me. I am constantly worrying about if I will be able to even have children due to everything. And if I do, how am I going to take care of them by myself while my husband is at work?? All these thoughts almost constantly run through my mind. I want to be a great mom. I want to enjoy having a family. I don't want my children to get this disease from me.
So, these are some of my confessions. Lyme is not easy and never will be. As I was writing my confessions, I started crying the second I began #1. It is hard, really, really hard sometimes. And I know there are many people out there who suffer just like I do and have. I know there are some people who struggle more too. While it is still so important to have a good, positive attitude, we are still human. We have feelings and we have times where we aren't strong. And that is OKAY. Without having these feelings, we wouldn't realize how wonderful life is during the times we do feel okay or feel great. We'd have nothing to compare it to and we wouldn't know what gratitude truly meant. Even though I have these feelings, does not mean I don't believe I can be healed and doesn't mean that I am going to give up. And here are my reasons why.
Confessions to my confessions
#1 - I really do truly despise Lyme. However, I know this is part of the plan for ME here on this earth. I also know that these trials are for other people and not just me.
#2 - My emotions really do get the best of me. I know I had to quit my job and I felt like a failure in life. However, at the time I was engaged to an incredible man. Seriously, I have no idea what I would have ever done without him in my life. Ever. He has been the biggest blessing and I thank my Heavenly Father every single day for him and all that he has done and all that he still does. He made everything okay. Without his love and support, I couldn't have done it. I tell him how much I love him constantly and I can never describe in words the love I have for him. My heart is so full of gratitude to him and to my Heavenly Father for bringing him in my life.
#3 - I may have felt inadequate to get married, but I got married :) Those feelings are normal for anyone who deals with Lyme or anything like it. When we can't be 100%, we don't love ourselves 100%. We are way too hard on ourselves. No matter how sick we are, we still have to love ourselves. And please don't forget that! Life is about learning and loving. We have to remember that through trials, we are learning things constantly, whether we recognize it at the time or not. I know for me, as I look back now, I have learned so much! And I know I will never be the same person I was before, because in learning, I've grown. My husband has helped me along the way too. He's the one person I can tell everything too and cry my eyes out and he can still comfort me and make me feel better. Him knowing my feelings and thoughts have been super important. I used to just hold most my feelings in, but he has helped me to become more open about how I'm feeling. He wants to hear how I'm really feeling, whether it's good or bad. He loves me and cares about me just as much as I love and care about him.
#4 - I am working on loving myself more. I try not to be so hard on myself or always think it's because of me or this illness. Loving yourself more means others love you more.
#5 - I still feel alone. On days where I can't do much and just sit or lay here, my mind does slightly wonder and I get super lonely. Even though I feel like I'm alone and it gets depressing, I know I'm really not alone and I will pray to my Father in Heaven. And I still have something to look forward to... My husband coming home. All day I sit here trying to keep my mind of things and keep busy somehow, but nothing will ever compare to that feeling when my husband walks through the door. The second he gets home I feel safe and so loved. I still get butterflies when I see him. I am so thankful for every second I get to spend with him. No matter how much I tell him this, he will never understand how he truly makes me feel or the amount of gratitude I have for him and all that he does for me.
#6 - I miss attending church every Sunday and going to the temple often. Again, not being able to go all the time only makes me more grateful for when I do get to go. And I know one day I will be able to become the social little butterfly I used to be ;)
#7 - Food. Seriously.. I'm craving bad food as I type this. One day I know I will be able to enjoy more food. One day.
#8 - I know I may never get back to my "old" self, but I will have a "new" self. And I will enjoy all the activities I used to and then some.
#9 - Having a family.... Still a tender subject. I've always wanted nothing more than to be a stay at home mom and raise a beautiful, healthy family. Here is what I have concluded.. If I do get to have children, I will be forever grateful and if for some reason the Lyme is passed on, I've learned so much that I will be able to help treat and cure it. If having children myself isn't an option, other options are available. Though I still have some fears about becoming a mom, regardless how it happens, I know that my Heavenly Father loves me. I know that I am a true daughter of God and that I have a define plan and purpose on this earth. I know with all my heart. I trust in the Lord and I know that He trusts me and He knows me best, so I'm ready for whatever plan is in store for me.
I apologize this post was so long, but I felt inspired to share these with you. These are very personal things and although some things I don't want to share, it felt good to talk about it and be reminded of blessings that come from trials. Thanks for reading and following my blog!
Again, I cannot thank you all enough for all your support! It has truly amazed me! My blog is being shared all around the world and I'm so grateful for this! So thank you, thank you!!
My last post was about hoping being a part of healing. Which we all know that without hope, we can never heal. (In any situation).
I've been sitting here contemplating on what to write today... And for some reason, I feel like I just need to talk about how Lyme makes you feel. Not only physically, but mentally. Lyme is a very challenging disease. Physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Some days you feel like you can almost conquer the world. Other days, getting out of bed is a major achievement. Like today for instance, I'm still in my pj's laying on the couch with zero motivation to do anything. I'm beyond exhausted, my body aches terribly, I'm dizzy, burning up, etc and right now, I don't even care. If someone were to walk in, they'd just witness a "couch potato". It's been a pretty rough weekend for the most part. Some of it may be due to a slight splurge in my diet, which if it was, it was sooo not worth it. So this brings me to loving your body.
Throughout the years of being ill, there have been some very emotional times. Times where you really over think every single thing no matter what and your emotions are all over the place. You feel worthless, helpless, useless, etc. These thoughts are completely normal with Lyme Disease. (And others as well). Lyme really effects EVERYTHING in your life. Going from one extreme to the next can really do a toll on your mind and body. People can get to a really low point in their life and truly let themselves go. And I'm not ashamed to say, I've been there. At times, I can still feel myself slowly going back that direction, but I can't. I won't. I've come to learn that throughout this whole experience, my faith and hope have become so tried, but so much stronger.
Back to loving your body - with Lyme, diet plays a huge role. There are some very strict diets for people with Lyme to help reverse it. No sugars, grains, wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, red meat, processed foods... Growing up in an environment where we basically ate these things constantly, not knowing what they did, to now, is a huge lifestyle change. HUGE. However, I can honestly say that treating your body right and only nourishing it with the purest and healthiest of foods can only increase your healing process. And treating your body right, doesn't mean just feeding it right.. It means loving your body, loving yourself. No matter what's been placed in our paths and how much we feel useless, worthless, or feel like you can't do anything, you HAVE to keep loving yourself!
Just recently I have received an amazing priesthood blessing from my incredible husband. The spirit was so strong and there were words that stuck to me like glue. And I knew it was coming from our Heavenly Father. The blessing was very sacred and special to me so I won't share word for word, but I'll give a comparison. Basically, the blessing was that I couldn't help anyone beyond what I've helped myself. I've been pondering this since. Helping people in life is one of my passions. I want to help people heal. I want people to know they are loved and there is always hope. Because of everything I have gone through, loving myself wasn't exactly my forte or my priority. I would get to a place where I truly felt worthless, fear the future and not focus on faith or hope. At the time, I didn't realize what damage this was doing to not only my mind, but my body. The more I had these thoughts, the worse I felt. Yes, I can blame Lyme all I want on how it's made me feel over the years, OR I can change my life by knowing that even though I still have really hard days and can't get off the couch, I don't have to think negatively about myself or the disease. Of course I don't like the disease and what it has done, but I keep my faith and hope knowing that not every single day is the same. Slowly, I am getting better and some days it feels like I took 10 steps backwards. It's a very, very long process, but it can't let you get to the point where you give up. It's okay to have a bad day, or two bad days, or even 10! I've missed out on so many family functions, church meetings, just going to church and activities, and if I think about all I have missed, I get super down and feel awful. I'm sure most people who suffer from illnesses/diseases feel the same way. I'm here to tell you it's okay if you aren't always able to do or give 100% of yourself all the time. Healing is a process. Sometimes faster for some than others. But you will get there and it will be worth it. These trials are temporary and will not always be there. Keep your heads up, focus on faith and hope. And lastly, LOVE YOURSELVES!! I challenge everyone of you, sick or not, to look in the mirror every morning and say "I love you" & "I accept you". This may sound funny to some of you, but do this for at least 21 days and see what happens.
Thank you all again so much for the love and support! Remember to keep your faith and hopes high and to keep loving yourself along the way.
*****I've added this little video for some background music cause I LOVE this song! Please enjoy it while reading this post :)
I can't believe how much love my blog has been getting! I feel so overwhelmed and full of gratitude for this. My goal is to reach out to others and give them hope. And I feel like it's starting to happen! So thank you all for that!!
After I had created my group on FB, I've talked with some wonderful people! All kinds of people. Most of them with Lyme, but some with other chronic health issues and it has truly made me realize some things. It made me realize a couple things about Lyme that I feel needs to be shared. And this just doesn't have to apply to Lyme Disease either. This can apply to life in general.
Some of the MOST crucial points when having Lyme are, you have to WANT to be better. You have to KNOW you can do it. You have to CHANGE your way of LIFE and your way of THINKING. If you don't want it, don't feel you can do it or constantly negative, it will not happen. You will not get better. I am not saying this to offend anyone, so please don't think that :) I'm saying this because it's true and it's from personal experience. Our attitudes have so much to do with our journey here on earth. If we want to be healed and have hope, it will be worth it and it will amaze you what you will learn throughout your journey.
Years ago when I was constantly getting sick and seeing many different Doctors, I started getting frustrated, angry, bitter, etc. I could not understand why Doctors could not help me. The one person who is supposed to help you when you're sick, couldn't help me. And it wasn't just one Doctor. It was several after several. I remember I started becoming negative, not always out loud, but in my mind. I'd have thoughts of never getting better, never knowing what was really wrong with me or if it was maybe just all in my mind. Part of me at times thought maybe I was going crazy. But deep down I knew this wasn't right. There were nights I would lie in bed crying so hard I couldn't breathe. And I would pray to our Heavenly Father for peace and comfort. I would pray that I would wake up the next morning. And guess what? I would. No matter how miserable I felt the night before or how much crying I had done or how angry I was, I would always wake up the next day. That alone gave me hope. Don't get me wrong, this journey is a real struggle most days. But after years of going through what I had, to learning all about natural/holistic treatments and healing, I have more hope and faith now than ever before.
There comes a point in our lives when we are suffering and we wonder why we have to deal with this. Why us? If we are constantly thinking the negative and asking why me, it's time to switch our thinking to better our lives. Instead of asking why me or feeling like a victim, ask questions like, "What am I to learn from these trials?" I know this can be very hard to switch the way you think, but it can also be very simple and life changing. I've been there before and have personally experienced some of the most incredible blessings and changes in my life.
If we go to bed thinking negative thoughts like, "Oh great, tomorrow is going to be another crappy day", "I'm going to feel terrible tomorrow", "nothing will be different", or "I'm never going to get better"... Surprise!! You are correct. What we think is what we get. It's called the Law of Attraction. People need to be more aware of their thoughts and actions. Negative thoughts brings negativity. Positive thoughts bring more positive. Some of you may wonder what this has to do with healing Lyme. Well, it actually has to do a lot. Thinking that you'll never get better will do nothing for you, but make you feel worse. If we strive to have hope, faith and be positive about our healing, you'll see a world of difference. I can promise you this. I won't lie, there are times where I still struggle. There are some days when I just can't do it. I can't take it. But I have to remember to change my way of thinking and not get stuck in those thoughts because I have to look at how far I've come already. I may not be where I want to be physically, but I know that having faith in my Heavenly Father, my Savior, and being positive, I can overcome anything.
Everyone has been given a divine plan and purpose on this earth. Whether we wan't to believe it or not, I testify that this is true. I know part of my plan was to have Lyme and all these other illnesses for a reason. Some of those reasons are to help others. I've not only learned things for myself as to why I've been dealt the trials and tribulations I have, but I've learned that most of my trials are for other people. Without Lyme and all the other health problems I've had, I would not be where I am today. I wouldn't have found my true passion in life to help heal others, to become a Foot Zoner, to love energy work, be married to the most amazing husband in the entire world and I wouldn't have come to love Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus Christ the way I do now. My love for them is beyond words.My faith has grown so much and it has strengthened me in many, many ways. Knowing that no matter the struggle or no matter how hard my day is, I have someone there for me always. I know I still have a long road ahead of me, but I also know there are blessings in store and I won't stop fighting. I hope and pray for all of you who suffer from anything can find that hope is part of healing. Without hope, what do we have? Nothing. Stay positive, be grateful always and remember where there is hope, there is a way.
Things to Remember:
*Create a positive environment
*Use affirmations in your healing process: "I am healing", "I can overcome _____", "I am strong"
*Find support groups (Like my blog and FB page;))
*Let people around you be aware of what you are going through
*Pray Pray Pray - You are loved and you are heard. You are never alone and our nobody understands better than our Savior.
*Keep your faith
*Never lose hope
~Thanks again to all of you who are following and being a part of my journey ~
Today is one of those days where I just wish I had my mom here. Yes I am almost 26 and that probably sounds silly to some of you. But today the Lyme is totally kicking my butt and there is something about having your mom around when you're sick ;)
I've recently been in contact with quite a few people with Lyme Disease and have had some great conversations. I've been asked to talk/discuss more about Lyme on my blog. So here it goes. I'm just going to lay out the truth about Lyme.
Let's face it. Lyme is miserable. IT. SUCKS. For those of you who have it, know this to be more than true. Not saying it is worse than anything else in the world, but it feels that way at times. There can be good times, bad times and really bad times with Lyme. And yes, it can be fatal. Lyme has been overlooked for so many years and people need to learn more about it and be aware of it. People who have Lyme have suffered for months and even years before even being diagnosed with it. Some Dr.'s even call it an Epidemic. That's scary. An epidemic that is highly overlooked and misdiagnosed constantly.
Lyme originally was found back East in Connecticut (in 1975). So what does this mean for people in other parts of the world? It means that most Dr.'s and some people believe Lyme cannot be found in anyone else who isn't back East or who hasn't traveled to another country. Well guess what? This is a bunch of b.s. Whether you want to believe it or not, Lyme can be found basically anywhere. And when your Dr. does decide to test for it and most tests come back negative, they misdiagnose it as another disease/illness. (Such as Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chronic Sinus Infection, and the list goes on.) But guess what else? Lyme can actually hide. Yes, hide. Obviously if they can hide, some tests will appear negative and patients will continue to be treated for the wrong illness. And if they do come back positive, Dr.'s will want to treat you with heavy antibiotics. Some of you may know that antibiotics for long periods of time can ruin your body. Also, newsflash, antibiotics can only work within the first 7-10 days of getting Lyme. Most people aren't diagnosed for months or years, so clearly, antibiotics will not work. If you get treated with antibiotics, your body will eventually become immune to them anyways. So hundreds to thousands of dollars later, there you are, still suffering from Lyme and wasted a lot of money.
When Lyme was first found, it was linked to a Deer Tick bite. Most of you probably know that this is what causes Lyme. However, this isn't true either. Lyme Disease can be linked to ticks, mosquitoes, deer flies, spiders, etc. Many people are highly unaware of this. It's really important that people know this and people become more open about Lyme Disease because there is so much that needs to be told.
So- here is a small portion of the truth about Lyme.
Through my journey, I have done hours and hours of research, talked to many different people, read books, etc. I know a lot of people are into conventional/modern medicine. And don't get me wrong, I think it's great and the world has come a long way with today's medicine. However, not when it comes to Lyme. I'm not writing this to bash on Dr.'s or today's medicine at all, because it was all created from good intention and has helped so many people. Lyme is a different story. And in my opinion, along with my experience and experience of people I know, holistic, alternative and natural treatments are THE best way to go. Without it, I probably wouldn't even be here today. It's been a saving grace.
I will continue to discuss more about Lyme in my blogs and help reach out to people. Even though Lyme sucks and can be extremely hard, there is hope. And everyone should know this. Lyme can be cured. It takes a lot of faith, hope, knowledge, strength and positive attitude in the healing process. Because the process doesn't just happen over night. It can take years. But years is better than never.
I know that I have been dealt these trials in my life for a reason. Whether it's to strengthen my faith, others faith or to help others find hope, it's my trial and I will make the best of it. I know my Heavenly Father loves me and trusts me to enough to have this trial. It's been extremely hard at times and there have been times where I felt like I wasn't going to make it, but I did. I hope and pray for each and everyone of you who suffer from Lyme or any other illness. But I also want you all to know you can never lose hope. Ever. Sometimes we don't know why we go through the things we do, but we have to stay positive and do the best we can, even if doing the best sometimes is not being able to get out of bed.
I hope you will all continue to share my blog and keep reading! I appreciate all the support I have been given and all the wonderful messages! I absolutely love them! Have a wonderful day everyone!
P.S. I was inspired to create a group for Lyme Disease on Facebook. For those of you who need support or want to learn about holistic healing for Lyme, please join us! The group is called - *All About Lyme - Holistic Healing*
