My Migraine Life Highlights 2019

highlights: my migraine life 2019

My Migraine Life Highlights 2019 is A Lot. The year seemed to slip by and looking back, I did a whole lot! I came into this year as a “year of yes” mentality with migraine advocacy and it really paid off! I’m so proud of what I accomplished and couldn’t be able to do it without My Migraine Lifers. To begin, let’s look back at My Migraine Life and how I began 2019.

Looking back at the year is often hard to picture. As a teacher, I see the year start and end with the school calendar. When I look back, I see events as “last year” when in fact 2019 is both kindergarten and 1st grade, 2nd and 3rd grade, and two classes I taught in “different years.”

Overall, it’s a year I am proud of. I put 100% into my job as a mom, wife, teacher, and migraine advocate. I stepped outside of my box and pushed outside of my comfort zone. It’s a reminder of how hard I am working and how many lives I am changing with that work! I often feel under-appreciated, underpaid and my health is under construction. But a look back forces me to look forward. What I face ahead of me looks uncertain. I’m starting the year with my sights on what’s going to make ME feel better.

    This is a great thing to do and really helps to look at the good things (especially when you’re having a down day or days). Such a powerful woman to do all these despite the pain.
