Bio
I love life. Life is full of wonder, excitement and challenge. Sometimes life is amazing but it's not always easy and not always fun. However, life is always an adventure, a precious divine gift.
I journey through life with my husband, 2 daughters and many other friends and family. Learning, growing, leading, listening, inspiring, writing, creating, asking questions and helping others to grow. So that together we can discover what life is all about!
In January 2015 I fell from a ladder and have since suffered with daily debilitating neurological symptoms and unbearable daily pain due to a spinal CSF leak (seen on MRI summer of 2019 and in hindsight). Following another very bad relapse of symptoms in the Summer of 2020 I was subsequently diagnosed with chronic arachnoiditis. I have since learned that the arachnoiditis can be seen on my first MRI's in March 2015 so I have always had it and it seems to be mildly adhesive. Both conditions may have been caused by the trauma of the fall and the multiple bone spurs I have in my thoracic spine pressing into the dura. I continue my journey with the support of two UK Midlands NHS hospitals & Neuro teams who have both diagnosed the leak and arachnoiditis and are both supporting me to try and find more long term healing and management of these awful, often very misunderstood medical conditions.
I currently also serve in pastoral ministry and church web administration alongside my husband Matt Hill who is an ordained Pastor at Life Church, Leicester, UK. www.lifechurch.co.uk
