Crowdfunding has started!
This year I am crowdfunding to raise money to get my first children’s book, ‘Lucy’s Liver Transplant – A Story About Organ Donation’ into print. It is currently available on the Kindle and translated into eight languages; it’s my way of trying to improve education about organ donation and also, in a small way, to pay tribute to my organ donor and her family.

Dating Post-Transplant
Dating post-transplant can be challenging. Not only are we battling the confusion of the tech of dating apps and multiple conversations, but if we don’t present ourselves as ‘ideal candidates’ in those first few messages, we will be be unmatched or blocked. On top of that, if we do get as far as starting to see someone regularly, we will be thwarted by our health and the resulting lifestyles dictated by our health condition that we lead, in terms of trying to see and get to know someone better.
Blocked – Blocked on Social Media
Getting ‘blocked’ is never nice, but what if you are in recovery? Cognitively impaired, and sometimes struggle with understanding social situations?
That’s something I live with – but also the horrible realisation that I can’t go back in time and heal the wounds I might have caused when as a sick person I wasn’t in my right mind.

Think Press Juice Cleanse:
A juice cleanse is not something you need to buy from a company. The internet is full of blogs and recipes, ideas and pictures, so with a bit of research, you could embark on your own creation. However, if you haven’t been on a juice cleanse before there are several benefits to having one which is ready made and arrives frozen in a box.

What does meditating feel like?
Since meditating I do feel that I have felt changes in my life but I am not sure I know how to articulate them yet properly so will hold off doing that for now, but I am often asked what meditating feels like. This is really challenging to explain as often the sensation varies hugely. In the meantime, I do spend time watching posts on Quora about meditation and mindfulness and today found this lovely answer to ‘What does meditation feel like’ by the author Patrick Baigent who has also written a book called ‘The Gears of Mindfulness: A Practical Guide on Mindfulness’. You can find the book on Amazon in the UK here.
Sunflower Disability Lanyard at Heathrow Airport
The Sunflower Lanyard is a simple discreet item that will enable Heathrow staff to see that you have an invisible disability without the need for you to declare it. You can, therefore, travel independently through the airport safe in the knowledge that if you need any additional support or assistance during your journey, Airport staff are trained to recognise and assist those indicating they may be in particular need of assistance simply and easily. Wearing the Sunflower Lanyard passengers in need are easier to spot and assist thus making their passage through the Airport so much less daunting and stressful.
Yesterday, we lost a friend.
Late last night I heard that one of my fellow Royal Royal Free competitors in the Transplant Games last year had passed away in the morning. It was a huge shock. We come so far against such odds but life is never certain. We who go to the Transplant Games are...

KINGA aroma diffuser essential oil diffuser cooling mist humidifier 400ML – 7 changing colors by KINGA
As someone who suffers from an autoimmune disease I have over the years noticed a correlation between the disease and the symptoms which have been exacerbated by stress in my life. The best way to try to manage my illness? Well, I try to reduce stress!
After some research, I concluded that an oil burner or diffuser would help me to relax as the aroma of calming oils would help my recovery. One of the first things I became aware of was the fact that an oil burner was not the first choice as the heat from the candle will actually damage the oils, negatively affected the molecules and you will not receive the benefits associated with heating them through a diffuser.
WINE REVIEW: 2017 Muscat by Torres Natureo De-Alcoholised White

WINE REVIEW: Eisenberg Sauvignon Blanc
The thing about giving up wine and alcohol for a health reason is that when you are faced with the choice of life or wine, it’s a no brainer. But that doesn’t mean you don’t miss it. Of course, you do, and so far in my experience, the non-alcoholic wines produced to...
REVIEW: Ye Olde Ship Inn – Guildford
A pub that does amazing pizza? P+P? Could it work? I don't go out much. Let's be honest. Although I try to reduce the impact it has on me, having an autoimmune disease can be pretty debilitating with the almost constant fatigue, and the side effects of my disease and...

“Return To Me” – a film that is close to home
When they returned home, my parents who are not star struck people said that they were convinced that Minnie Driver had been sitting at the next table with a good looking actor. Of course, the film was released a few years later but when my sister and I did the maths, (and I’m crying as I write the because it makes me so happy and sad all at once) it really could have been Minnie and David after filming.
