Was it a stroke of luck?“You’re lucky.” It’s a phrase I’ve heard often since my stroke—lucky to have my sight, lucky to have avoided more severe deficits, and lucky to be here.
I don’t feel lucky about what happened. But I do feel grounded in gratitude for the path of healing I’m on, for the people walking beside me, and for the ways this experience continues to shape how I see myself and the world. This blog is where I make sense of that journey in real time—through story, reflection, and the quiet work of rebuilding. |
Q: Share an intention that’s important to you right now and how do you use it in your daily life to support your healing or wellbeing?
An intention I lean into right now is, I can stop. "Getting better" is sometimes misleading. What does that look like? What does that feel like? For me it often matched up with doing more - a slippery slope towards overdoing which could easily turn into neurofatigue with longer-term effects. I don't need to do... I don't need to be busy. I can stop. Q: Share an “I am” statement that reflects your intention/how you want to live your life right now. I allow myself to relax. I am curious. I can wait. |
