[Tweet “For I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning how to sail my ship”]
‘Little Women’ has always been one of my favourite novels, having read since I was a young girl. This beautifully written novel has always spoken to me, being able to relate to the struggles of each of the four siblings at different times of my life.
It has always been one of my favourite quotes from ‘Little Women’ book, serving to remind me that although storms elicit panic and fear, these are the conditions that we often learn the most.
For me, living with a neurological condition, the many challenging flares that I’ve experienced has only sharpened my awareness of the coping strategies that best help manage the symptoms, and in turn, helping when the inevitable next flare strikes, making the storm less severe, and me better at handling the rough waves.
My nominees for today are:
- Charlotte from FND and Me
- Hannah from Bald Blogger, Hairless Hannah
- Char from Chronically Hopeful
