Invisible Strength

#IHopeYouDance - You are so much more than your illness. Or, the DNA that your body is made with - good and not so good. You are so much more than how others perceive you. Your identity and value as a person, mother/father, spouse, employee, daughter, etc., is not defined by what society values most, or how someone else determines his/her self-worth. Your worth isn’t determined by how you look, the clothes you wear, or the money you make. Your value, your worth is determined by your integrity, the life you choose to lead, and the impact you make on the lives of those you come in contact with. “True strength comes from helping others while we are walking through our own storm.” - @hypermobileyogi for @ourstoriesofstrength - #LivingWithEDS anthology (published May 2015 - not currently in print). #Gratitude #just5minutes #SHEDS #liveauthentic #liveedsstrong #womenwhowork #DigitalMagazine #wellness #hbloggers #chronicillness #chronicpain #InvisibleStrength #stronger2gether #mindbodysoul #mindset #Health #liveeverydaybetter #Vacation #Travel #Sunset #yogaeverydamnday

Excellent article on a topic I have struggled with a lot this year. I have left the house for nearly only medical appointments this last year, but pushed myself to go to lunch with an out of town friend last week and posted a photo. Now I feel badly because there are people I have told I couldn’t get together with, or have not even called them back yet. And I know they have seen it–(they liked it) and maybe wondered–because I had been saying how badly I have felt but… (and yes, it took extra meds to go and it took 2 days to recover.) Your thoughts?

We need help! #wellapalooza2015 is on November 14th, 2015 in #Bethesda, MD/#washingtondc & registration is live! We have speakers scheduled & travel plans made, but our venue is double booked. I just found out and we need to find a new place stat. A place that holds 50-75 people with room to move around would be great. A #wellness facility or larger #yoga studio may be good. We are trying to keep costs down, as this is the first #wellapalooza in this area and it’s a one day #healthconference. Please pass along ideas. I would love speak with anyone who is interested in helping or has an idea for a venue. Wellapalooza also has an IG @Wellapalooza, Twitter @Wellapalooza and a FB page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wellapalooza/980506502012732. If you are interested in attending, registration is live on www.wellapalooza.com. More fun details coming soon! #Spoonie #health #fitness #Chronicillness #invisibleillness #Instahealth #instagood #motivation #OurStoriesOfStrength #just5minutes #LiveEDSStrong #fitmom #fitfam #eatclean #vegan #pilates #yogaeverydamnday #Maryland #ehlersdanlosyndrome #mastcell #mcas #mcad
