I have started this blog many times and the fear of laying myself bare stopped me as soon as I had started. Hopefully this time the fear of not doing it is greater than the fear of doing it. If you get my drift….

My name is Anne, or Annie to those who know me and I am at the beginning (again) of a journey back to myself, or should I say to a new way of being. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder in 2014 called Graves Disease. Yes it sounds awful and no I am not dying but it has felt like it at times.

This blog is my way of tracking my own health journey, in body,  mind and spirit. This is a personal journey but maybe by sharing something it may help another, not just those living with an autoimmune disorder but also anyone who is searching, like myself, for a life filled with joy and authenticity.

Please note, I’m not a doctor, a psychiatrist, guru or know it all, this is just one way of staying accountable to myself to be authentic. I mean if I lay my soul bare here then there is nowhere to hide anymore.

This is my personal journey as a flawed human being trying to find my way out of darkness and into the light.

I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me for some of the time. Its not all doom and gloom, I do have a sense of humour, which can be pretty dry at times but hey, I’m ok if nobody gets me. So let’s start………….
