“When written in Chinese, the word ‘crisis’ is composed of two characters – one represents danger and the other represents opportunity.” Kennedy
So I kind of like this thought…. without a doubt my neurology and brain has been in ‘crisis’ with 3 weeks of medication to draw out roland (stubborn little rat – Neuro – Leptospirosis …)… the last 4 days floored me, with one day a little touch and go… yet I felt there was more to be explored on this world, more people to show anything is possible and more adventures, love and life to live. I’m pretty proud (and truly grateful to a few special people looking out for me, gratitude) that my body managed to stay with us, and my thoughts have started to link up.
I had more fits than I can recall, lost awareness and time. I can only say right now, trust, courage, belief, patience. Without a doubt I will be a wiser, stronger, funnier, better coach and person. But the place this has pushed me too has been a new place….hmm. So stick with me, I have sparks of colourful ideas and hope, blended with fear and doubt as all I love to do, is temporarily paused.

The things you think are important, your identity, your being, what makes you, you… put on hold (by the way, do you know what makes you, you?). Yet, it’s an opportunity, and i know this and with great courage, I can do this. When else would you get days to lie on the floor and just be?!
So this is without a doubt a ramble, you don’t need my stats, I don’t know if it’s worked, we won’t know… I’m way ‘behind’ where I was three weeks ago, but maybe, just maybe its removed roland and given me learnings, tested my self belief and shown me, truly anything is possible and equally nothing matters.

I’ve missed more ‘opportunities’ than I can list… yet you are nothing without your health. My decision to take these drugs certainly was not taken lightly, and the aggressive reaction surprised all…. just shows how energised and fit my body was to carry my little roland around… yet I didn’t want the weekly affects and I hope he’s out now. Time and patience will tell.

Thank you for your support, your high fives, your ideas…. I love living life, I’m still full of crazy ideas, even if they are from the floor…. I laughed & cried in equal measures…. I don’t know where I’ll be in a week, but I will update you…..Live, Love, Laugh #make2015brilliant right
You always have a choice in life…. think about your choices right now, think about your FOCUS… are you doing & thinking what you want to make your life, mind and body better, or are you living with what you don’t want to think and feel… when you are ready, have courage to make the change to what you want, I can help you with that courage and give you tools…. . Big Kimpossible powers to you all xx
