I’m so looking forward to getting back to our MECFS co-rest gathering this month with @connect_with_mecfs !

We had to skip last month because Megan and I both needed some extra rest and recovery time. But we’re back!

This is a time for us to gather in community, rest together, and feel connected.

We join together on zoom, Megan welcomes everyone in, I lead us in a few deep breaths and a mini guided meditation moment, and then we all rest quietly to gentle nature sounds.

There’s an optional check in the chat that we lead you through at the beginning and the end IF you have the capacity to participate. But you can also just lay down with your eyes closed from start to finish. This is all about REST and connection.

I always feel so much love and warmth in the room. It truly is a gift to be with you all!

See you Monday 💙

P.S. If you are part of that MECFS community can you help us spread the word about this? I would love for as many people as possible to benefit from it. A repost, a share, or even an emoji in the chat is super helpful. Love you and grateful for you 🥹

I’m so looking forward to our next MECFS co-rest gathering, co-hosted with @connect_with_mecfs, and can feel the soothing energy already!

If any part of you wants to come, I invite you to start seeing yourself there and imagining how it will feel to be in community with our beautiful community.

I know how this illness works. I’ve been living with it for years now.

So I know there are so many things we want to do but don’t get to do. It happens to me too, and it can be devastating.

I also know that allowing yourself to imagine yourself at this gathering is a win-win situation regardless of what happens next!

Imagine yourself THERE on Monday. In the room. Connected. Breathing deeply. Resting. Together. Feel the warmth and the love in the space. Feel the light of the community. FEEL it in your heart and in your body.

Do you feel it?

Here’s the thing, if you allow yourself to really experience this right now, you get to receive benefits from this event right now, regardless of what happens next!

And SOMETIMES when we allow ourselves to feel the energy of living the thing we desire before it happens, it activates a little magic in the Universe to make it so! Then you can receive benefits now AND later.

Oh my love, can’t wait to see you in the room.

Can you see yourself there? Let me know in the comments✨

Wir sind viele. Auch wenn man uns nicht sieht!

ME/CFS ist real. Wir sind keine Einzelfälle und verdienen Sichtbarkeit, Anerkennung und eine angemessene Versorgung. Gemeinsam sind wir laut, auch wenn unsere Körper das oft nicht mehr können. 🫶🏻💙

This ME thing can be isolating. We don’t want you to feel alone.

We also don’t want you to have to overexert in order to feel connected and engaged with the world.

This is why we created the MECFS co-rest gathering.

It’s a space to breathe, connect, and rest together.

Sounds simple, but it’s amazing how much coming together to rest in community feels like a healing balm to our dear sweet hearts that are longing for connection.

Come for as long as you are able. Leave when you need to.

Gently engage with us in the chat at the beginning and the end.

OR just have someone sign you in, turn the volume to the lowest setting, and lay with your sleep mask on til we end the meeting.

Come as you are friends. We love you so much!

@connect_with_mecfs and I can’t wait to rest with you tomorrow.

We are hosting events again in the Connect With ME Discord group! Come join us August 31st at 3PM EST for a peer led hobby event.

Grab a craft: painting, crochet, bedazzling, ANYTHING! Mics and cameras are welcome if you’d like to chat or you can just lurk or hop in typing chat. (Also if you’d just like to come hang out that’s okay too you don’t have to craft 😉)

Das Leben mit einer chronischen Krankheit ist oft unsichtbar. Niemand sieht deine Schmerzen, deinen Schwindel, deine Erschöpfung - einfach deinen inneren Kampf! Von Außen wirkst du „gesund“ und nimmst aber viel in Kauf um am Leben teilzunehmen!

We took the summer off, but we’re baaaaack!

@connect_with_mecfs and I are so excited to be offering another MECFS co-rest this month. We’ve missed connecting with you!

This is a super chill event where all you have to do is show up and keep breathing…literally. That’s it.

Cameras are welcome, but totally optional.

Mics are off.

There’s an optional chat at the beginning and end.

And you are free to come and go as needed.

I don’t have the words to express how good it feels in this space every single time. So maybe…

Just come find out for yourself 💙
