Have you ever read The Secret? The concept is simple, ask the universe for what you want, manifest it, and the universe will answer you. The Secret has helped me to see things in a different light. I have started to believe that I am enough, that what I work for will give me endless [...]
TRAVEL EDIT: IBD TRAVEL POST BREXIT
Politics is by no means something that I’ve ever taken an interest in. Personally, I think that is because I just don’t understand it. The to-ing and frow-ing, the child like arguments between parties, the utter crap that these politicians promise but never deliver. It has always been too much for my to wrap my [...]
TRAVEL EDIT: PARIS DAY 3
Wake up call: 9am Breakfast: 10am Activity: shopping I will be real with you, I’m a little bit of a shopping addict. I guess consumerism is kind of my thing. So how could I not visit the Champs Elysees? One of the worlds famous commercial streets. Champs Elysees means “Elysian Fields”, which indicates that someone [...]
TRAVEL EDIT: PARIS DAY 2
Breakfast: 9am Sightseeing tour: 10am My favorite and most iconic site of the day: The Moulin Rouge Day 2 started with a rather relaxed morning, despite an early alarm I fell quickly back to sleep and gave myself some time to sleep in. I knew that this day would be full, and I would need [...]
TRAVEL EDIT: PARIS DAY 1
Wake up call: 3am Flight time: 6:40am BHX - CDG Lately, I’ve found that my fatigue is pretty severe. My body aches and I struggle to get myself awake, up and about in the morning. But somehow when it’s a travel day I seem to miraculously have a little more energy. It’s almost as though [...]
TRAVEL EDIT: LET’S TALK BUSINESS
I’ve been wanting to write about this since my return from my last trip. However, I don’t want to seem as though I am ‘showing off’ because business travel is HARD work. It’s not all the glamour of jetting off to incredible places, sight seeing, a break away. It is longer days, adjusting to new [...]
TRAVEL EDIT: 1 DAY IN SAN FRANCISCO
My most recent trip over the Atlantic was certainly a whirlwind experience. It was both bitter and sweet as I got such a small amount of time to explore, but I am very aware that I am very lucky to have travelled in the first place. It has just given me even more need to [...]
TRAVEL EDIT: 24 HOURS IN NYC WITH IBD
Let me start with my only negative – the weather. August is far too hot, muggy, sweaty to be in NYC. I like to view the positives in everything, but I always want to give you my honest opinion. New York itself was a dream! It is an amazing place to be – words cannot [...]
TRAVEL EDIT: CROHNSWITHME IN THE USA
To follow on from my last instalment in the travel edit, I thought I would provide a little more context and write a little bit about the reason for my trip across the Atlantic. For work, I am a Customer Success Manager, and in a nutshell this is an account manager role. I look after [...]
AN OPEN LETTER TO CROHN’S DISEASE
Dear Crohn’s Disease, I know that you know I’m an adrenaline junkie, that I like roller coasters or throwing myself out of planes (skydiving). But there is only one type of roller coaster I like. That is the type with tracks built on steel pillars, strapped into a cart that races fast, through loops and [...]
TRAVEL EDIT: TAKING A SOLO TRIP WITH IBD
I’ve been lacking on the blog front recently and the truth is I’ve been really overwhelmed. I’ve been recovering from my trips earlier in the summer and also preparing for my most recent visit to America. On top of that, I’ve been working, trying to keep up with my house work, and of course see [...]

CROHNSWITHME: THE STORY

At age 11, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and having gone through a few bad flare ups, changes in diet and [...]
