Introductions please!

Hi there,

These things are always hard to start. Blogging has always been something I've wanted to get into, but I have never really known what to write about. What am I passionate about? There's the crux of it. Passion. I think I've lost some of it over the past 6 years.

I don't want it to stay that way. 

I need to lay the foundations first so we can get it all out of the way.

I was diagnosed with MS on 20th March 2012. My 6th anniversary is well on its way. Being told you have a chronic illness you'll most likely die with (not of, with. I want to make that distinction clear), takes a lot of processing. My processing has got to a stage now where I'd like to get it out there more. Of course I do the odd Facebook post, but I wanted a space where I can babble on without interrupting people's daily lives unless they want me to.

So, what are the aims of my babbling? I'm under no illusions. I'm not going to become famous because of this. I just want to spread the word. Spread the word on the joy there is out there, the awkwardness, the fun, and yes sometimes the pain.

This blog definitely won't be a place to vent my anger. I cannot tell you how angry I have been. It's going to be a place where I can explore all things I care about in an effort to get that passion back. I have amazing people in my life, and they may not know it yet, but I would love them to guest blog here too.

Watch this space lovely people! I'm determined to make this work. If you have anything at all you'd like me to write about, contact me in any convenient way and I'm sure we can work something out.

See you in the next one, where my lovely husband will kick us off as my first guest blogger!

But first things first: name a body part and I'll tell you what's wrong with it.

Steph.
