Nerves are mounting

"Success is hard to find, but failure is not to try" - Ryan Sheridan


Yes I did just quote song lyrics. This line always comes into mind whenever. I feel I'm in way over my head or that I'm getting anxious or cold feet about a project. I had to commit to the Endo t-shirts today and although this on its own is not a huge task the importance of raising awareness through this medium and fundraising for the EAI (Endometriosis Association of Ireland) is slightly daunting this year.

I think the pressure is really on this year because there is such a focus on Endo globally and everyone is rallying around that no one wants to let the team down.

So as part of Team Ireland I intend to do my part, make my voice heard and turn that nervousness into positive energy.


I will be attending the information day on the 08th March at the Spa Hotel, Lucan and I'm also holding amy very first mini March on the 13th in Dublin City Centre, starting on O'Connell Street and ending up near Dublin Castle. Bring a friend,  your family. All are welcome!  Most of all, bring your voices, energy, smiles and cameras.

Let's all do our bit for National Endometriosis Awareness Month.

A day off from Endo (kinda)

With the way yesterday went I honestly wasn't sure I'd be able to move too well today. But;


But, today, well technically yesterday now was a very special. Birthday for my little cousin. She turned 22 and for reasons I don't need to mention it's been the first birthday I've been around for in a very long time.But it certainly won't be the last.


It was so relaxing to spend that time with my.relatives. I was determined.to get over to her (she lives across the city of Dublin) and I'm so pleased that we (Mum and I) got to see her.

We got a few pictures (I whip out the ever reliable phone) It was nice to be around family. They are all so supportive. From my Mum and Sister, to my Aunt/ Fairy Godmother, Uncle and cousins, especially my little one. She's also a friend. (pic below)





Mum, Aunt,Cousin (and myself) the genetic link's concrete begins to set for my family. But there is always hope. We will keep an eye on both my little Sister and Cousin. My Mum and Aunt have been diagnosed, countless surgeries and both had hysterectomy's as they were lead to believe this was the "cure".

I'm rambling as usual. I guess I just wanted to put up a positive post. I am truly blessed with the supportive and understanding people I have in my life. They don't judge me or make me feel weak for having a tough day. I think we all need a form of support around us when tackling Endo.
 I am so blessed with the family and friends I have I'm my life who don't look at me any differently because of Endo. I mean it doesn't change my personality.

I have found out over the years who's willing to stick it out and who isn't? If you're going to treat me like a porcelain. Doll because of Endo then we cannot be friends. Do not fuss.

Rambling again, sorry

Ok I will leave you guys with this quote.

"I would rather go through all of the ages with just one true friend if it would save the heartache of a lifetime of mistrust"A.A.C



Our awareness. T-shirts.will be ready this rweek by the way.
Can't wait to show you guys :-)

(It's 04:50 here in Ireland,  I better try sleep)

Stay safe as always my.lively Endo Sister's
