ShoeStrings

Welcome to ShoeStrings!

As you’ve arrived at my site I’m assuming you’ve heard about my experiences over the past year, been diagnosed with a congenital AVM, undergoing brainsurgery and now rehabilitation.

So, why ShoeStrings- you ask?

Well, shoes are an everyday thing we probably all take for granted…I guess they’re like you and I and what we could be sharing to help each other out! Also, like the trillions of ways one can tie their laces (whether your a rabbit loop with a crossover, a loop and lace around it lacer, or perhaps a double knotter?!), our journies have been made up of our individual ways of jumping this rehab hurdle and however we learn to tie them we all end up laced-up and shoe tight!

And shoestrings, are the brilliant way of keeping shoes ‘together’.

So I guess this ShoeStrings blog is my way of sharing and tying communities (you, I, etc.,) together!

I think we can all help eachother out…and in my eyes, there’s no better way than through sharing.

I look forward to hearing from you all!…and then, all Shoestring tight… we can walk through this rehab experience together.
