Our breath, like our heartbeat, is the most reliable rhythm in our lives. When we become attuned to this constant rhythm, our breath can gradually teach us to come back to the original silence of the mind. -Donna Farhi

  • Walk humbly

    On Monday I decided to clean up my diet, practice even more yoga and start a healing meditation. Then what happens Saturday? Boom. A fuckin flare. An oozy, hurt to stretch your neck, embarrassing red splotchy flare on my neck and cheek. It’s weird too because despite the fact I was…

  • Flashbacks

    Occasionally I have these vivid almost painful flashbacks of my skin and the pain and restriction I once felt. It usually happens right when I wake up or when I am walking to the bathroom because I would always go look at how bad I just scratched or stretched it…

  • 99% healed

    I remember thinking this day would never come. I remember being scared that this would last up to three or five years maybe or maybe I would have to cave and use steroids again.EHHHHH. Wrong!I’m healed bitches! I’m healed and it feels so fucking amazing. As you can tell from…

  • I think I can, I think I can, I think I can

    I have seen quite a bit of progress the last few weeks. I haven’t been eating ANY dairy and no sugars after 2pm. And the only sugar I do have is in the form of dark chocolate or coconut ice cream. I have been taking Dead Sea Salt baths every day.…

  • Call me the velveteen rabbit

    Reasons why going through TSW during Winter is good. 1. Stepping outside in the cold weather after a hot bath completely takes away any itching or stinging. It’s also extremely good for your circulation. 2. Hot soups and hot teas are the bees knees. Soup is easy to digest, which…

    Christmas this year was beautiful at my house, my Mom makes our house look like something out of a magazine. It’s filled with cheer and every night there is a Christmas movie on.  I loved Gio being with us and my family loves him more than anything too. We sang…

  • All I have left is my spirit

    After this disease strips me of  everything I once loved, all I have left if my spirit. My soul. My morals and values and my sense of humor.I don’t enjoy going out because of the pain and itchiness, I don’t enjoy getting dressed up because clothes rub me the wrong…

  • It’s ok that it’s not ok

    It’s spreading down my back which is extremely uncomfortable and my wrists are worse than ever. My face is just at a steady fucked up flare that itches and tightens and sheds and oozes over and over and over again.Things are NOT easy. They haven’t improved. My skin is actually…

  • What is sleep?

    Last night didn’t seem real. I slept two hours. Haarlem threw up and had a horrible upset stomach ALL night. He had to go outside three times. He didn’t finally lay down until around 4am. My eyes didn’t shut until around 4:30. I was shaking I was so aggravated. Insomnia…
