- Juggling life with migraine, chronic fatigue and chronic sinus infections, I coach migraineurs and people with chronic illness in living purposeful lives, as well as working with small business owners to grow their businesses. I try to keep up with a house on the edge of a big field, a great marriage to a guy I've know since I was a toddler, and the adventures of motherhood with two brilliant emerging adults. Over the years, I've been a practicing attorney, a free-lance writer, a business coach and advisor, and a general egg-head.

Deborah challenged me, so I cut it! (No really, it had been very long and pulling on my migraine brain for a couple years now).

Coming Out of the Migraine Closet
When someone comes out of the closet, they take a stand, and they take a risk. For centuries, gay and lesbian people hid their identities in order to survive. Then a few people said “no more.” Decided to risk public censure, job loss, jail, so that things could change. And things have changed. Dramatically. There is still risk involved in coming out as a gay, lesbian, bisexual or transsexual person, significant risk, but there has also been a significant change in our society around this issue.… Continue
How can you manage your time when Migraines interrupt you all the time?

Great spotlight interview!
What can I say... we love you here! It's great to get another perspective on living a good life despite migraine. Many of the techniques you remind us of can be put to good use with any chronic condition including chronic pain, so it really crosses so very many boundaries.
You do a super job and I always look forward to reading what you have to say next!
Your spotlight interview was inspirational. I do need to learn to treat my system with more care.
Do you use medication to treat your migraines or have you learned to control things without it?
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with migraines!

Can't make heads or tails of this site; hopefully they'll streamline it a bit; soon would be good. //end-complaining//
How's that contest of yours going? I posted another reminder on my site, just in case.
