One step forward and a retreat

One step forward and a retreat
Living with autoimmune disease and hormonal syndrome takes a lot of work, and I am thankful for a mostly positive outlook.  And as a helper type person, I look to help others while leaving my oxygen mask dangling.  So, with each entry, I try to move the needle of thinking of how to care for myself better a little more without seeing it as selfish.  But unfortunately, my spirit was parched, so I signed up for a women’s retreat.

My Celiac Journey Unfolds

My Celiac Journey Unfolds

Yep, I have Celiac Disease! After reading my previous post, you may be asking, how did I not know I had severe gut issues?  Every person with gluten issues has different experiences.  Some people vomit or have to run to the bathroom, and there is a long list of general symptoms, but my primary response is fatigue.  I became accustomed to a daily nap after lunch.  My days were shorter than most people's because I required more sleep. It's been a blessing that I can choose my work hours!

Meet Shawn Constant

 
Hello, friend!  

Here's a snapshot of me:

I'm an extrovert wife to an introvert engineer, mama to a beautiful, talented young woman & fur mom to two small dogs in a small Texas town.

I have been emerging as a healthier, new person after the pandemic and being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder on top of my PCOS.  It's been a gut wrenching (pun intended) journey and I'm thankful for my transition into a more holistic lifestyle 6 years ago, since I've been lowering my body's toxic load.  

I enjoy crafting, saving pins on Pinterest and DIYing with non-toxic ingredients.  I'm a great cook and am learning to cook Gluten-Free and make some killer smoothies. 

My faith is my foundation and am thankful to have had it this past year.  

Fun facts:  I'm an outgoing Enneagram 2 with a strong 1 wing.  I'm an ESFJ.  My love languages are acts of service and gifts.  I'm a kinesthetic learning who loves listening to audiobooks.

Feel free to peruse my website and I'd love to connect with you on my social media! I mostly post on Facebook and Instagram. Shawn's Oily Testimonies @shawnsoilytestimonies. I'm getting good at REELS and enjoy styling photos for them!
