On today’s show, we bring in a long-time member of The Gratitude Spark community, and talk with Amanda Lindsey.
Gratitude has always been part of Amanda's journey, but, over the last 10 years it has been taken to a whole new level. She is highly engaged in The Gratitude Spark and you can find her both posting inspirational messages of her own and hyping other members. Her bright smile matches her beautiful spirit and happy-go-lucky disposition.
But...behind the happy-go-lucky...she’s endured 23 years worth of chronic illness. She’s been diagnosed with multiple syndromes and each day brings a different pain and different ability for every muscle in her body. That, combined with some pretty severe sensory issues limit her ability to participate in what she used to know as “regular life”.
And so, she’s defined her “new regular”... one that is accepting, willing, and grateful. But before that, her story has taken many twists and turns which started back in the mid-1990’s. So join Gina and I as Amanda shares her powerful story as she moves from Chronically Ill to Chronically Fabulous. Oh, and just as an aside, there are a couple swear words at the very end of the episode which we wanted to give you a heads-up about.
So with that...enjoy.
