My name is Angela. Welcome to my blog about living through and with illness and trying to heal and thrive. It’s messy. It’s real. It’s honest.

Lessons for living: A blog.

You are not alone. If you are struggling with the effects of Long Covid and/or Breast Cancer, I welcome you to join me. Or if you just want to know more about juggling multiple and chronic illnesses, I hope you may also find some helpful information here.

Yes, Lessons for Living (this blog) is about my experience with Long Covid and Breast Cancer – a deadly duo that manifested in my life unexpectedly in 2022 and how I am determined to not only survive, but thrive.

It is also about what happened to get to here and why that is important to understand. Was it stress? Trauma and grief? too much coffee? Genetics? Did I miss a clue? Does it matter in the end?

We will explore treatments and find out what has been helpful and what was not helpful.

There is also research that I found helpful and some useful links but mostly it is about my journey to really heal fully physically, mentally, and emotionally. About how I am finding my way to full health, one day at a time..

It is what I am figuring out….what I found helpful amongst the noise…kind of like lessons for living. Maybe these Lessons for Living might help you too, in your own journey with illness?….

I welcome you to join me.
