Hi Maggie! My MIL (Colleen) sent me your post. I have been dealing with some of the same issues and have been diagnosed with Histamine Intolerance at the least. I have mixed feelings of finding someone else who is struggling with similar things to me. It's comforting to have someone understand this difficult time, but I feel sorry that you have been struggling with your health as well. I am also a "girl boss" lol running my photography business full time. The anxiety of tiptoeing around EVERYTHING in order to not disrupt the long to do list planned for your day is so real to me. I look forward to hearing more of your story and will be praying for you!

Thank you for sharing and for being awesome. I feel like "Girl bossing into the abyss" could perhaps be the name of an experimental jazz album, or a new age pod cast ...

Ugh... Hi sweet friend. Thank you for connecting, I am really sorry you are in this spot. Let's heal together, I am happy to talk any time or swap war stories. I hope you can find some peace and healing. I have found that nervous system regulation in an important piece of the puzzle, if you can incorporate that into your routine. Sending tons of love and prayers.

Hi Caren!!! Thank you so much for your kind words, I so appreciate you, my friend! I am glad to hear you have moved north, though sad for your absence at the Uptown Market... You are an institution around there! I have seen ads for the pulsetto, I am glad you mentioned it! Lots of love, maggie
