I don’t usually do trends, but this one got me reflecting on this time 10 years ago.
2016 was the last year I was unwell. I had 14 rounds of antibiotics that year.
But in amongst the juice cleanses and array of other stuff I was doing in a desperate attempt to shift the kidney infections there was some fun too!
I love being an Aunty and not being able to work full time gave me more time with my niece and nephew.
I started growing vegetables (and quickly realised how hard digging is!).
I went to Berlin and Cuba.
I sliced the end off my finger making coleslaw. I made a cake without injuring myself.
I was still running my old business - designing scarves made from silk and felt that were made by a women’s artisan cooperative in Kyrgyzstan (one of the countries I lived in growing up).
And my parents got a dog - and dogs are always great therapy.
If I had a crystal ball I would have enjoyed that year more, knowing that in 2017 I got my health back and found my calling with Biomagnetism!
