    *LOVE defines me NOT pain etc..* — it was between LOVE and JOY —
    this was an excellent post and idea — thank you!
    I too have intense Fibromyalgia and CFS and yes, etcetera…

    I have just ‘discovered’ you today too — and WOW! i may have just ‘discovered’ you but you have been a *busy* person — esp. with your blog and POSTING so much for so many.
    I too have done much research, study, active striving towards health and, i do strive toward ‘healing’ —
    have a beautiful day!

    All right: ‘The Secret Life of a Muppet’ 🙂 I know, it totally sounds silly, BUT I gotta tell you, that Memoir is full of all sorts of life!

    Mulling around some more….Totally inspired me by the way. The creative juices are flowing

    gathered the pieces and found peace.

    things shatter with fibromyalgia. life is not as it was, but those little crystal shards from a life in pieces capture light and create a rainbow, a symbol of peace. i live a small life now, but it ever so suits me.
