Chicken or egg?

Date 19 November 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
I know that I sustained a bleed on the brain and that is why I have Cerebral Palsy, but I’m not sure what came first, the bleed or the difficult birth and then the bleed. What came first, the chicken or the egg? When my parents were here, I knew…

Blame

Date 12 November 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
It’s a fact that our childhood will throw up many issues based around the environment we grow up in. Whatever we have had to contend with as a child, our experiences will always affect us and although it’s far from right, none of us can change those experiences. We also…

Moving forward

Date 11 November 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
This has been a particularly hard blog for me to write. To realise our value as a person is to stop identifying ourselves as a victim. We stay a victim, because we fail to see our full worth and potential and instead allow others to take control. Although I personally…

Making the right decisions

Date 3 November 2015
Author Ilana Estelle

My sensory process

Date 1 November 2015
Author Ilana Estelle

Being gracious

Date 26 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle

Date 14 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
If you had the opportunity to turn back the clock what would you change? I suppose to answer that question depends at what point in our life we’re asked and how we feel about our past. If you asked me that same question 7 or 8 years ago, I would…

Toxic behaviour

Date 11 October 2015
Author Ilana Estelle
Toxic people may not inherently be bad people, but they’re clearly not the people we would want to spend our free time with. When it comes to toxic behaviour, not all toxic people are uncaring or agonising on purpose, although I can see why we think that they are, particularly…
