Just do the best you can today. You’re good enough just as you are.

I spent my life pretending I was fine when I wasn’t, pretending that I never needed help when I felt utterly hopeless.

In my twenties, and desperately searching for a ‘cure’ for my eating disorder that would involve a St Paul on the road to Damascus type of enlightenment without requiring any actual work on my behalf, I became very interested in alternative medicine.

Reiki, past-life regression, homeopathy, Chinese herbs, Ayurveda massage, shamanism, angel healing, bio-energy therapy, reflexology, hypnotherapy — the list continues but I won’t bore you with all of the details.
