About

I have lived with chronic illness most of my life. I have several rare conditions that converged to make my life different than I ever imagined it would be. I was an educator for 25 years until my illnesses made it impossible to continue teaching. At about the same time, my younger daughter went off to college. I had a choice. I could fall off into the abyss of my chronic pain and illness or choose to live a life of joy. I chose joy. It’s a daily choice that comes with lots of practice. I would like to share what I have learned, continue to find ways to nurture my mind, body, and spirit, and listen to your stories. Together, we can support each other on our journeys to navigate the challenges of living with a chronic condition.

All the best,

Michelle Freret Prather
