Hello, welcome to my world
My name is nicola, I’m 30 years old and I live in wales in the uk. I currently live with my parents and I’m engaged to Gareth who I have been with for nearly 11 years. I am a huge music lover who is also obsessed with animals and art. I play the flute and have recently started the piccolo. I also happen to be living with a number of long term health issues with varying degrees of severity.
Throughout my life I have fought to be seen as more than just my illnesses, it’s very easy for people to start to see the mobility aids, medications, hospital visits and forget about the person behind it all . While I will be sharing my experiences of being chronically unwell and disabled, I want this blog to be a demonstration of how much more there is to life with disabilities.
I am to share my joy of music and give a glimpse of how it has improv my quality of life and even improved my physical well being on a day to day basis. I will also share art, activities and coping strategies for the really hard moments. I hope to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued, and where thoughtful questions can be answered with compassion and kindness. If this sounds like somewhere you’d enjoy please feel free to stick around and enjoy the view.
