When you grow up with something like a disability, you get to feel you're different. I could never imagine just how different. Through my book Cerebral Palsy: A Story ‘Finding the Calm After the Storm’ I bring clarity on the whole disability thing. Spirituality, Healing and Me is my healing journey.

When your pull is strong enough and you want to learn about yourself, when you have a desire in your soul to want to learn, when you dare to be different, it can happen. And even if it is not okay for others, the universe will sanction it for you.

Life is to learn and grow

Life is for us to learn, to grow and to evolve. Where I once had dark, I have light and where there was despair, I have hope.

Transitioning in the pandemic

In the pandemic, living with a disability and mental and emotional health issues, is even more challenging. I know that by checking in with myself, I can gradually transition into my life with a little more ease. We can all have good mental health, but we have to find the understanding and want to change where we are.
