Beginning Again

I wanted to start again. Over and over I stared at a blank screen and just hoped that the words would come like they used to.

But after my daughter died I lost heart for quite some time. I still submitted writings here and there, but for the most part I just felt devastated most days. I just didn’t know if I could write the same way I used to.

Then after meeting a good friend for a cup of tea she suggested I pivot and start writing about other parts of my journey. I told her that talking about my weird dog hardly made riveting literature, but she reminded me that there were other parts of my life. How I have taken some random health conditions in stride and rocked out rare.

She had a point and after some thought, I decided to close the chapter on my old blog and start a new chapter. This is where I’ll talk about the rare our family lives with. Everyone has medical conditions at some point in their lives. Some conditions are considered rare and associated with zebras. But what happens when in that zebra herd you end up with even more rare conditions? A unicorn emerges.

Welcome to the next chapter in our family.
