Jealousy

Date 21 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
As a child growing up with a disability that I didn’t know I had, I was happy to me. There were things I wanted to change, such as understanding what exactly what was wrong and what my symptoms were. I didn’t like the fact that I had no working muscle…

Change of plan

Date 19 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
The bad news is that I had planned to put a recipe on the site today but that will have to be published after Easter due to various technical gremlins that I need help on, but the good news is that ...

The universe and its Laws

Date 18 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
I wanted to elaborate further on the universal laws. When we do something that innately goes against what the universe expects from us, what we’re doing will never work for us, but when we apply the universal laws, we will bring good intentions and things into our lives. The universe…

Two ways of living

Date 16 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
As children we look for acceptance. As we begin to build on our relationships, we spend our lives trying to convince those people we’re worthy contenders, instead of us learning to be who we are. Consequently, we may never know who we are. We spend our lives worrying that if…

A difficult day

Date 14 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
It wasn't the best of days yesterday, as I'd been dealing with IBS for most of the day, brought about by stress the day before. I think I'll rewind back to the previous day when I was feeling well ...

Disability & families

Date 11 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
As a child growing up with something, later finding out it was cerebral palsy, meant my disability would become part of my family’s life too. Trying to manage any disability around family is difficult. I didn’t know what was wrong with me, let alone how what was wrong with me…

Life and its plans

Date 9 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
It’s a fact of life that things don’t always turn out the way we plan. How many times have you made arrangements only to find you have to re-arrange or cancel your arrangements because something’s cropped up? I never take for granted that if I plan something it will happen,…

My real life

Date 8 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
My site, together with my blogs may reflect someone who is completely and one hundred percent focused and in control of life, but the path of life never runs smooth and given what I have had to deal with over the years, this statement is true for me. As I…

Support & opinions

Date 6 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
Support should be the backbone to any relationship, but what happens when support isn't support but someone’s opinions and their opinions become the most important thing in the relationship? For me it would probably be time to re-think the relationship and how things are done. Sometimes opinions can be helpful,…

Perceptions of time

Date 5 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
It’s probably a good thing that we don’t consciously think about time all the time. If we thought about time and all the things that could happen within time, we’d spend our lives worrying over every little thing. If we knew as children that time would go quickly, we'd worry that…

Easily swayed

Date 4 April 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
I would say I am emotionally strong, independent, confident and okay with making decisions, even though it has taken me a lot of years to get to this point. This used to happen to me as a child and every now and again it still happens that when I’m under…

My diagnosis

Date 2 April 2014
