This blog used to be dedicated to my event floral design business, Bella Flora. From scuba diving marine biologist to floral designer, I and my business are now shut down due to POTS and Dysautonomia rearing their ugly heads. I have transitioned into a chronic illness and ocean conservation advocate of sorts. This is my personal blog, you'll find info and posts on POTS, Dysautonomia, parenting with chronic illness, marine biology (sigh), women's rights issues, and science fiction geekiness.
I've had a lot of people inquiring about Bella Fora services and asking in general what happened to me (the owner - Claire). That's actually very flattering, I love that I am friends with many of my past clients and have built relationships with them and other vendors in the industry. In an effort to write everything down cohesively, and out of a bit of selfish I don't want to have to keep typing this-itis, I've decided to share publicly what has been a very tough battle for me (and my family). Hopefully this may educate people as well about my disease, of which very little is known, and even less is publicized. |
| I have developed a real affection for fainting goats. This may seem strange, but you will understand why as you read on. I feel a tremendous connection with them, see a great short video of them in action (or inaction) here. |
