'Spoonin' with Hope, Faith & Love & The Spoon Theory

Happy Tuesday my Sweetest of Hearts...

Guess what I've been doing lately?

Well, if you guessed 'SPOONIN' you'd be RIGHT!

And I haven't been doing just any old 'SPOONIN',

I've been 'SPOONIN' for a cause.

Recently, a dear friend of mine found out she has MS. She shared with me

an amazing story from a website called 'But You Don't Look Sick'. This

is a community for support, education & inspiration for anyone living

with a disability, invisible disease or chronic pain.

This story is written by Christine Miserandino & poignantly describes what

it's like to live a day in her life fighting Lupus, it's called 'The Spoon Theory'.

She helps us understand that the simple, basic things the rest of us

do everyday & don't think twice about, are hurtles for someone with

her disability, that must be carefully thought out & calculated in

terms of how much energy she has in any given day. 

You can read the entire story HERE & I hope you can take a little extra

time to do just that. I know you will be quite moved by it, just as I

have been. There are very few people out there that don't

have a loved one touched by one of these disabilities.

Here's your chance to walk a day in their shoes.

I thank my friend Maria for sharing this information with me.

I wish all my friends living with disability, invisible disease or chronic pain,

HOPE, FAITH & LOVE.

And most especially dear friends,

I wish for all of you, an Abundance of Spoons!

XOXO
