Dreams and Their Imprints on Daily Life

This morning is one of those mornings when I woke from a dream so real I wanted to sob when I opened my eyes, because I knew it couldn’t be real, even though my grandfather Daniel’s favorite tobacco hung in the air and I could hear echoes of my grandfather Claude’s laughter. Smell the fresh Continue reading

I don’t have a set time or schedule. I go to bed when my migraine tells me it’s time to lie down, so that could be at seven in the evening or two in the morning. My sleep is fragmented and inconsistent, which may be why I feel sleep-deprived half the time. Continue reading

Mindfulness and Breathing: My Path to Migraine Relief

In this migraine journey of mine, there’s this constant shuffle between doctor’s offices: general practitioner, neurologist, therapist, and all the naturopaths as well. It’s a draining process, to be honest. And it doesn’t stop there since everyone assigns homework. Continue reading
