Migraine From Hell

I am back on social media after almost a month off due to a “Migraine from Hell.”

⚡ Fortunately, migraines are rare for me, and migraines this bad are even rarer.
The last one was 17 years ago.

The migraine was probably caused by a strange confluence of factors.
🧠Still, my doctor wants me to get an MRI of my brain—
ugh
—to rule things out and to be sure.

😓 The migraine hit moments before a Zoom call with a fellow coach.
My symptoms were strange, so I wasn’t sure what was happening.
I decided to take the migraine meds just in case, and then do the call.
⛈️ In the middle of the call, I was hit by the pain and emotional intensity.

🫂 That sucked, but he was compassionate as you would expect a fellow coach to be.

📆 After that I was down and out for almost a week,
and I’ve been coming back up for two to three more weeks.

➡️ During that time, there were brief moments of joy.

😻 My cats, Kaylee and Casey kept me company.
💜And my husband gave me an African Violet to help me feel better.

It checks several Feng Shui boxes for my home office
☯️ which is in the Prosperity and Blessings gua of my house:

🌼 Small but blooming steadily → sustainable growth.
🎁 Gift from a loved one → relational abundance.
🥬 Fuzzy leaves → kindness and approachability.
💰 Purple flowers → traditional wealth color.
🟣 Round shapes → harmony and continuity.

🎉And then the joyful moment I was recovered enough
to go out into the crisp winter sunshine 🌞
🥋and practice my kata.

🖋️ And now I feel like I can start writing again,
and I can start interacting with people again.
Both of which have been shockingly difficult.

🌎 Plus watching the news and seeing the state of the world,
I feel like I have A LOT of writing to do about ethical leadership
and I have ADHD leaders to coach.

❔How have you been while I’ve been gone?
What have you been up to?
