Hello,
I’m Kat and this is my wee little dearly beloved blog. Here I share the ups-and-downs of living with chronic illness and an incurable rare cancer. I write about how the freeway at the base of our hill sounds like a gently rushing brook and the way a yard full of dandelion blooms waving in an eastward breeze look like yellow waves of joy.
. . .
My Superpowers Include:
"Holding on to hope, when there is no hope to speak of" Amassing chronic illness' and rare diseases Being brave, yet terrified of haunted houses and clowns Find joy within all these magical little mundane moments that make up life Clinging to hope like it's my life-raft - because it kinda is, ya know
Things I’m currently wondering about…
Resilience
how life can be so, so, so very hard and awful and unfair but we are capable of continuing on.
Joy
how it’s possible to find it anywhere, everywhere. how it’s free to conjure and free to share.
Disabled Magic
how it’s fluid, curious, unbound. free of the rules able-bodied humans have tried to constrain it under.
“Your heart and my heart have known the language of enchantment all along. That’s what brought you to me. That’s what brought me to you in the first place. So our meeting would melt every other thing, and would shake us for something profound.”
