In tears


I was. All day.

I don't know how I came to her site. I don't know why I hit that post, the right post. But I do know why I spent all day in tears, while reading her e-book or even just thinking about her. She gave me hope. She made me feel like I'm not alone anymore.

Her name is Meghan. She was diagnosed with Colitis, then Crohn's disease. She made the choice of healing, naturally, despite what doctors said to her (and to me). She became nutritionist, holistic lifestyle consultant and digestive coach. And she recovered.

The first excerpt of the book I read, before buying it, was this one:

I worry that maybe all this is for nothing. I get frustrated that I am working my ass of to get well and making many sacrifices in the process and still have a day here and there where I feel like crap.

and then:

So I made the decision, the choice, excuse free, that I needed to take my own advice. It wasn’t easy but if we were never challenged sometimes, how would we ever move forward?

I didn't need to read further. With my vision blurred by tears I quickly bought the book and started to read. And couldn't stop.

Amazing. I felt like I was reading myself. More tears.

Now I have a dream: to attend her Digestive Healing Retreat. Anyone interested in sponsoring me? :)
