I was inspired to share my rich journey of living with the challenges and blessings of Pseudoachondroplasia (a condition with malformed joints afflicted by arthritis and short stature) when Ben, the son of a good friend, was diagnosed with a debilitating condition at the age of twenty. Immediately I felt a strong urge to share with him the vital insights I have learnt that have helped me find inner peace, good health and to live a full life. And the chapters of a book came to me. So I am writing my book “Little Body Huge Life” and while I continue editing, it is time to share some of it with the world.
Everyone I know has issues with their bodies, mine are just more obvious. Most people don’t have a positive relationship with their body, whether it’s weight issues, illness, disability or injury. Many who are blessed with a ‘normal’ healthy body just don’t like it or parts of it and they treat it accordingly. Many abuse their body by not taking proper care of it; by not eating well, not exercising enough and imbibing too many toxic substances and then are prone to illnesses, pain or decreased capacity in later life. This has bigger ramifications; as we treat our bodies so we treat mother earth.
With a degenerative condition hanging over me all my life I have had a strong motivation to take good care of my body, keeping it fit and healthy, to stave off the deterioration and a frightening future. What has helped the most has been a profound journey of coming to love and accept myself and the body I was born with, and a deeper journey of the spirit, of touching that vast part of me which is not the body. Living with the paradox ‘I am not the body but I am’ sums up my journey of taking good care of my body as well as connecting with my inner divine spirit that is untouched by any of my body issues. If I can learn to love and accept my less than perfect body, and myself, then anyone can.

Thankyou Deirdre, I’m so pleased you find it absorbing. Yes it is a bit daunting revealing such personal stories but if I don’t write with open honesty it won’t be absorbing, so these are my first baby steps.

Thank You Suchita. Am enjoying it, too. The intimacy of your sharing and the inspiration of your journey. I still remember meeting you and being in awe of your capacity to fully live life, when I met you through our common friendship with Ray, back at the start of the eighties. Is it four planets in Aries .. or five?
