When people ask me how I got to where I am today, I tell them, "I just keep getting up after every time I fall."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can do this!! You are stronger than you know. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy 37th birthday to me! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My birthday is my favourite time of year, a time to celebrate ME and all that I've accomplished in my life, especially since going through GBS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My age is completely irrelevant to me now - ask me how many memories I've made, trips I've taken, sunsets I've seen, laughs I've shared, bedtime stories I've read, people I've loved. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's how old I am. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Most of us have been told that angels have wings but I believe they actually have paws. Give me a heart if your dog is your guardian angel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is the face of the girl that finally finished

This is the face of the girl that finally finished my first draft of my book!! I’ve been sick at home with a cold for the last ten days but it ended up being a blessing as I could write all day, and wrote over 60 pages !⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This draft took me three years to write (on and off) but I finally did it! Over 100,000 words written :)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now I spend the next 6 months on final edits, publishing, marketing and then the audiobook! This has been one of the most stressful projects I've ever worked on, and there's still a long way to go but the I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my final edits will include information for GBS survivors, their families, and medical staff who deal with GBS. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would love to hear what things you wish you knew about GBS when you were first diagnosed, or what you wish your doctors knew, or what advice you would give to someone newly diagnosed. Comment below if there's anything you'd like me to add! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I use to cry for the time we lost out on when Casey was a baby and I was in the ICU fighting Guillain-Barre Syndrome. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had no idea that we went through together would actually strengthen our bond ten times more than I thought possible. Every day I feel blessed to be her mom.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Name ONE thing, no matter how small, that you got from your trauma ❤️👇🏼
