“It’s in My Blood”: Featuring People with Illnesses, Passions & Talents

What is the “It’s in My Blood” Series All About?

Welcome to the “It’s in My Blood” series, where we will feature people who live with a variety of chronic illnesses and/or disabilities. We won't be talking about the illness or disability though, as there's plenty of space on our individual blogs for that!

What We'll be Focusing on in this Series

For this series, we will take a look at their wide range hobbies, passions, talents, values and lifestyles instead. I believe that we all possess inherent gifts as human beings, whether they're maximised, actualised, or not. We may not be the best in the world at them, but they are things that we associate with, or feel at ease doing.

Whilst the past is definitely sealed in time, there are endless possibilities from this moment forth. These options may not be what we had in mind, but they are akin to a hammer upon the bonds of our own expectations.

What does one do when untethered? We cling onto driftwood, in search for life once more. Maybe we'll end up at our original destination or maybe we won't, but wherever we land up at, there is life. You. We have the amazing ability to rebuild anywhere, and maybe - just maybe - we might actually end up liking this new place better than the one we had in mind.
