Deliciously Alive

Today’s blogger uses her space to share her journey and educate others about Crohn’s disease.

Please welcome Brandy of Deliciously Alive.

I write from my gut, literally. I have Crohn’s Disease (which is a digestive tract disorder) and I look to it as a teacher rather than an illness. My blog is my therapy and it is full of poems, pictures, drawings, and whatever else inspires me. I am also a mental health therapist, the wife to an amazing man, and so thankful to be sharing my little piece of the internet with this beautiful network of women.

She’d love for you to check out these gems!

  32. What a wonderful way to make something good out of something that’s… not so much. I have a cousin with Crohn’s Disease. Not fun at all for her, but she’s been pretty successful dealing with it through her dietary lifestyle. My hat’s off to you though. It goes to show, when you want to do something, anything, it CAN be done if you set your mind to it. I mean, look at you… SITS FB of the Day as well as dealing with the things that you have to in your everyday life as well. Talk about being a go-getter… man!

    Congratulations on your special SITS day, Brandy! Love you headshot. Gorgeous.
