An Update. A Thank You. And A Closing Chapter ❤️
We reached 74%.

Seventy-four percent of a goal that once felt overwhelming.

Did we hit 100%? No.
Would that have made things easier? Absolutely.
But what we did reach has helped me more than you can imagine.

To everyone who donated — from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Being out of work during this recovery has not been easy, and your generosity is helping me move forward with less stress. Not stress-free… but more smoothly. And right now, that matters deeply.

The GoFundMe will remain live until February 28th, and I’ll close it on March 1st.
If you feel called to share it one more time, I would be so grateful. Who knows what these last couple of weeks might bring.

As for recovery — I am better.
But I’m not “all better.”
My right shoulder still feels locked.
My left leg is weaker than my right.
There’s lingering joint pain we’re still trying to understand.
And some days, there’s brain fog. A heaviness. A fatigue that feels bigger than the moment. Sometimes I just feel…off. Just cognitively slower and physically drained. Healing a brain and a body, takes more energy than I ever imagined.

I’m continuing with the step-up program at the hospital and will likely see an orthopedic specialist about my shoulder. We’re working through it.

This is still a journey.
But I am moving forward.
74% isn’t falling short.
It’s community.
It's kindness.
It’s love.
It’s proof that I’m not doing this alone.
Thank you for helping me land on my feet!
With deep gratitude,
Lizzie 💕

Every Valentine’s Day,
my daughter shows up for me. ❤️
She never forgets.

This year, it was a rose and a handmade card. Not store-bought. Not rushed. Handmade.
And that means everything.

I’ve placed the rose in my office, right beside one of my many vision boards — tucked into the space where I dream, plan, write, and build The Lizzie Experience.

Because I keep the things that touch my heart close to me.

In a world that moves fast, there is something sacred about holding onto the things that remind you:
You are thought of.
You are remembered.
You are loved.

Maybe my love language is kind gestures.
The small, thoughtful acts.
The “I was thinking of you.”

And I wouldn’t have it any other way. 💕

14/02/2026

It’s Valentine’s Day.
And yes…I want that kind of love.

Not for the roses that come around once a year on February 14th.
I mean the real thing.

Dinner across a table from someone who looks at me like I’m magic.
Fingers intertwined.
A warm hand on the small of my back.
Sweet nothings whispered just loud enough for me to hear.
A tender touch, a caress, kisses...💋

I want romantic love. The intimate, electric, heart-softening kind. The mutual love and thoughtfulness all year round kind.

And before someone says, “But I’m happy on my own” - so am I.
I have beautiful friends. Family. Community. A full life.
Wanting romantic love doesn’t cancel any of that. It adds to it.
There is nothing weak about desiring something deeply human.
Romantic love is special. And it’s okay to want that too.

I actually believe something beautiful is lining up.
Like we’re both out there…living, growing, becoming…
and about to cross paths at exactly the right moment.

I’m expectant.
Open heart.
Soft smile.
Lip gloss ready. 😉

If you’re single and secretly hopeful too…
you’re not alone.
Love is not late.
It’s just on its way.

Happy Valentine’s Day. 💗✨
Love,
Lizzie xo

On Tuesday, I walked into the hospital and my hands were trembling.
Heart racing.
Weepy.
Shaky.
Nothing “bad” was happening…
but my body didn’t feel safe.

I think I experienced a trauma response — and I didn’t fully understand it until today.

Today was different. Calmer. Stronger. A small victory that felt big.

I wrote about what happens when your body remembers before your mind does…
and how I’m learning to teach my nervous system that it’s safe again.

If you’ve ever felt anxiety in a place that “shouldn’t” feel scary…this one might resonate.

This morning’s bowl = fuel with purpose.

🥣 Kashi Organiman Organic Cinnamon Harvest
Whole grains + cinnamon warmth = steady energy.
No crash. No chaos. Just grounded fuel to start the day.

🌾 Kellogg's All-Bran Buds
Fiber powerhouse. Helloooo digestion support.
After months of antibiotics, gut health is not optional.

🌱 Manitoba Harvest H**p Hearts
Plant-based protein. Omega-3s. Healthy fats.
These little seeds are tiny resilience warriors.

🍌 Banana
Potassium for muscles, natural sweetness, and quick energy for a body that’s rebuilding strength.

🥛 Organic 2% milk
Protein + calcium = bones and muscles that feel supported, not depleted.

This bowl may not be Instagram-glamorous…
But it is powerful.

Rebuild with Liz 💗 is about being mindful.
It’s about choosing foods that support immunity, digestion, strength, and mood.

It’s about honoring a body that went through meningitis, a stroke, months of antibiotics…
and is still standing.

What did you feed your body this morning? 🌞💪

• Intentional Nourishment – Choosing foods that support healing instead of just satisfying cravings.

Not the prettiest bowl…
But absolutely powerful. 💚

Today’s lunch:
🥚 2 organic eggs
🫒 Green & kalamata olives
🥑 Fresh guacamole
✨ Cooked in a touch of olive oil + salt & pepper

Here’s why this little bowl matters:
🥚 Eggs – complete protein for muscle repair, brain support (hello choline), and steady energy. Especially important while I’m rebuilding strength.

🥑 Avocado (guac) – healthy fats for brain healing, hormone balance, and glowing skin. Also helps absorb nutrients from everything else on the plate.

🫒 Olives – anti-inflammatory, heart-loving fats, rich in antioxidants. Tiny but mighty.

🫒 Olive oil – supports cardiovascular health and reduces inflammation. Liquid gold.

This is the kind of meal that stabilizes blood sugar, supports recovery, and keeps cravings in check.

Pretty? Maybe not.
Effective? Absolutely.

Healing isn’t always aesthetic.
But it tastes really, really good. 💚

I was on antibiotics from November 18th until yesterday.

IV.
Then oral.
Relentless. Necessary. Life-saving.

Because bacterial meningitis doesn’t get treated gently.
And when you don’t have a spleen, you don’t get to take chances.

But here’s what no one talks about enough:

What happens after the crisis.
What happens to your gut.
Your immunity.
Your strength.
Your confidence.

The rebuilding.

That’s where I am now.

And I am not approaching it passively.

I’m rebuilding my gut health.
I’m rebuilding my immunity.
I’m rebuilding my strength — intentionally.

This blog post is about:
• Why the long antibiotic treatment was imperative
• What that does to your body
• How I’m restoring my health now
• Why advocating for yourself changes everything

If you care about your health — even a little — you need to read this.

Taking control of your health is one of the greatest confidence boosts there is.

This isn’t just recovery.

It’s empowerment.

Woke up joyful today.
For no reason.
No big win.
No fireworks.
Just…happy.

And I’m not questioning it.
I’m not analyzing it.
I’m not waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I’m just feeling it. ❤️

Grateful for love.
Grateful for friends.
Grateful for family.
Grateful that somehow, in the middle of everything, I’ve got the best.

Some mornings, the sun rises outside.
Some mornings, it rises inside.
Today it’s inside.
And I can feel the happy ✨

Resilience in Action:
Emotional awareness + receiving joy without suspicion.
Letting good moments be good without bracing for impact.

If you woke up smiling for “no reason,” don’t shrink it. Claim it.
Tell me, what are you grateful for this morning?

10/02/2026

Today’s vibe is:
“I have no wisdom to share.
Please enjoy this moment of me existing.”

Today’s accomplishments include:
✔ got dressed
✔ considered doing a thing
✔ did not do the thing
✔ rewarded myself anyway

Reminder (especially to myself):
You do not need to be inspirational today.
You are allowed to be mildly entertaining at best.
No lessons.
No growth arc.
Just vibes. 💕

Choosing joy in the form of low expectations and coffee ☕💗

In my last blog post, "Downsizing, Letting Go and the Night I Didn’t Feel Okay," I shared a more vulnerable side of my upcoming move.

And that was true in that moment.

Yes, my lease ends May 1st after seven years here.
Yes, I have to leave a place that feels like home.

But I also get to choose where I go next.
Oakville? Burlington? Hamilton? Port Credit?

And instead of seeing this as something being taken from me, I’m choosing to see it as an adventure being offered to me.

A fresh space.
A new chapter.
A summer beginning somewhere new.

This blog post is about the hope, the excitement, and the perspective shift that changed everything for me.

This is the energy I’m actually bringing into this home search.

I’m starting a new nighttime habit.
Because I need it.

📖 10 pages of a book every night
📵 Phone off. Electronics off. One hour before bed.

Here’s why...
Reading 10 pages a night:
• lowers stress and quiets the nervous system
• improves focus and memory (hello, healing brain)
• builds consistency and discipline in the gentlest way
• helps me fall asleep calmer instead of wired
• adds up to ~3,650 pages a year — that’s 10–12 books without trying

And the phone?
The scrolling isn’t relaxing. It’s stimulating.
Blue light delays melatonin.
Notifications keep the brain alert.
Endless content keeps the mind noisy.

So instead of feeding my brain noise before sleep,
I’m feeding it words, wisdom, and quiet.

This is me choosing peace on purpose.
This is me choosing less dopamine hits and more deep rest.
This is me choosing to be intentional with my time and my healing.

Honestly? I’m a bit too attached to my phone.
And less scrolling is a must.

Going forward my nighttime routine will include a good book!

Resilience in Action:
Self-awareness • Intentional habit change • Nervous system care

📚 Want better sleep and a calmer mind? Try 10 pages tonight - and tell me tomorrow how you feel.

There is something deeply healing about a hot cup of coffee…and a warm cat on your lap at the exact same time.

This morning, Stella Luna claimed her spot before I even had a chance to get comfortable. Curled up. Purring like a tiny engine. Radiating heat and calm like she was sent on assignment for my nervous system.

And I just sat there.
Coffee in hand. Cat on lap. Still dark outside.
No rushing.
No scrolling.
No thinking about what’s next.
Just a few quiet minutes of being.

Did you know a cat’s purr is actually therapeutic? The frequency of their purring has been shown to help lower stress, reduce blood pressure, and promote healing. Add that to the comfort of warmth, the rhythm of breathing together, and the first sips of coffee and you have a tiny morning ritual that does more for the body and soul than we realize.

These are the moments that don’t look big from the outside…
but feel big on the inside.

🐈‍⬛ Also - can we talk about how IMPOSSIBLE it is to get a picture of Ms. Stella Luna on my lap without disturbing the entire operation? The second I move for my phone, she gives me the look, readjusts, or leaves entirely. So trust me when I say…this photo was earned. 😹

Mornings like this deserve to be treasured. Just a few minutes of lap time. A few minutes of love. A few minutes of calm before the world begins asking things of you.

Sometimes the best therapy is coffee…and a purring cat.

Resilience in Action: Emotional self-awareness & intentional pause.

CTA: Before you start your day, give yourself five quiet minutes of something that feels this good💕
