Help me to notice with the eyes of my heart and be grateful for the kindness that surrounds me already.

I have to visit the phlebotomist regularly because my doctor needs to check my T3/T4 levels and other stuff related to my adrenal glands. After being bedridden for six months of my life, I don’t mess around with my naturopath. She’s kind, considerate, brilliant, and extremely well-educated. She also has an amazing bedside manner. I’m grateful for her knowledge, expertise, and professionalism with a side of cheer that has helped me completely heal from one autoimmune disease.

I have written stories about my thyroid journey of over 30 years. I went from being diagnosed with hypothyroidism to being healed. But that doesn’t solve the adrenal gland issue.

So, when I head over to the blood draw place, I get to see Axel. Yes, that’s his name. He’s a tall, Latino guy, so you know I had to ask. “Tell me your parents didn’t name you after Axel Rose,” I said laughing.

He giggled and said, “no. That would be weird, right?”

“Not weird. It just doesn’t match you, though.”
