Illness can be seen as a curse or a gift.  There is often plenty of opportunity to focus on aspects of loss and difficulty, all of which helps to reinforce the state of illness.  What is often hidden from view is the opportunities that illness can present...

It has often been quoted, about varying situations, that there is opportunity in crisis.  Illness is no exception.  'Knowing ME knowing you' is a new book written by Kirsten Deacon that talks about the opportunity she experienced.

"It was like being on a very long retreat where I took time to sit and really think about what I wanted from my life.  I began to appreciate things that I'd been too blind to see due to being so wrapped up in my work life, like nature and the seasons.  Because of this new awareness, despite being really debilitated, there were times I felt an overwhelming sense of fulfilment and peace.  I vowed to carry this awareness with me into my new phase of life, of health and wellbeing..."

Kirsten is planning to make this available as an eBook in advance of paperback publication.  Contact her for the latest news on this publication.
