Well hello!

I have been inspired by my friend Sarah to write something in this blog. I write notes all the time about my rehabilitation into the wide world - and maybe this will help someone else as well as be an indulgence for me as I love writing!

I am Jane, I am 54 and live in a village in England, and am getting back into doing things normally after 20 years of having 'ME' sometimes called 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome'. I have had a more severe form of this for 10 years, however I have done things I wouldn't have done otherwise during this time, like write and publish a cookbook and learn painting and garden design. I have been based in my house and my village - like a huge change in my centre of gravity, as previously I was a consultant for telebusiness centres, travelling round Britain and sometimes abroad.

Then I did a training called the Lightning Process, which helped enormously, and since then have been working on different things to get back into socialising, physical activities, and eventually work. So, that's me!
