Is it Okay to Talk About Migraine?

The pages of a Leuchturm dotted notebook opened to pages with notes about migraine from the Ologies podcast episode called Dolorology. T the right of the notebook a partila view of a mason jar of pencils and markers. Above the notebook, the zipper pull with tassel from a pencil case, a black pen, a glass of water on a white macrame coaster, and a black and white patterned plant pot.

Lovely readers, is it okay if I talk about migraine?

Migraine is a topic that’s very personal to me. I have a lot of experience with it, and I have a lot to say. There are several posts planned already, and it’ll likely be a recurring theme. I hope at least some of it will resonate with you, but if not at least you know there’ll be stationery involved …

This is why I’m raising the issue now … every March there’s an excellent virtual conference called Migraine World Summit. 2022 will be my fourth year watching it, and I’ve always learned something new and valuable. I highly recommend taking a look at the line-up of talks if you or someone you care for experiences migraine. This year it runs from March 16-24. If you register you can “attend” for free and watch as many or as few speakers as you like.

I’ve marked the dates in my planner, and am ready with a notebook and pen to take lots of notes. I hope you’ll join me.

P.S. The notes in the photo are from this podcast episode.

P.P.S. While I write this I’m listening to the soundtrack from The Talented Mr. Ripley. It’s one of my favourite movies. I might need to watch it again soon.

A retrospective journal spread for 2020...these ar A retrospective journal spread for 2020...these are some blank pages in the back of my planner and I’m flipping back through the months and weeks to document the things I started, finished, loved or hated, was blessed with or overcame.  I’ve set up space for 20 things (because 2020) but if I feel like turning the page and writing more I will. There are no rules to journaling. Wishing you all a lovely few more days of this year. 🤍

Earlier this year I made a commissioned piece for a virtual healing circle.  I was honored to contribute to such a beautiful and necessary event.  It’s now many months later ... but in the midst of pandemic and holidays and lockdown, it’s still important that Black lives matter.
