WHO IS LAURA SPOONIE?

Hi all,

My name is Laura, and i’m in my early twenties.

I suffer from multiple Chronic illnesses; Fibromyalgia, CRPS, Asthma, to name a few. I’ve also had a long time battle with mental illness and been a young carer since the age of 11.

I created this site to encourage my fellow Spoonies, showing that no matter your circumstance you can always set goals and accomplish things you may have always dreamed of doing. I started blogging my struggles, victories, language learning, photography, product reviews and art so I can share it with the world and take you on my journey of growth and self-development.

I hope to inspire and uplift whether you’re a part of #SpoonSquad or not, so feel free to subscribe and join me on this journey.

I also adore Sunflowers so if you ever wanna share any sunflower pics with me then you are more than welcome.

Check out my, ‘Lessons from a Sunflower’ post and leave some feedback if you like.

Thank you for stopping by.

Peace & Positivity,
Love & Light

Laura Spoonie ❤

XOXO

YOU GOT THIS! • • These words are going to get me through this weekend & beyond! For the past few months I've been challenging myself to get out more & tackle my fears & anxiety head on. I'm naturally a loner but mainly within my four walls so I've been venturing out more into the big wide world to see what I'm really made of. Things to do alone: Go to the cinema Concert Stay in a hotel Have a meal out Visit a museum/convention... Etc. Whilst I'm out I feel liberated by the use of my disability aids & supported knowing that they aren't a sign of weakness but in fact a source of strength & independence. For anyone who feels fearful to use their aid, just know that it's normal to feel self conscious. People can be intrusive & judgemental with their comments but as long as you're growing & challenging your fears at your own pace then you should hold your head high. • • Most of the things I'm doing is being documented by video & eventually edited into a vlog which I upload to my YouTube. So make sure you're SUBSCRIBED (Link in Bio for both of my channels) Sidenote: My Rollator Walkers name is Simba haha, it's only right as my canes name is Nala 😩🦁💛 • • Cushion from @Rachael_Hope90 via @redbubble + my Rollator Walker from @amazon ❤💙💜 • • www.lauraspoonie.co.uk #LifeOfASpoonie #DisabiltyAdvocate

💜🌱 • Hey, VIOLET! • 🌱💜 • • This is Violet, my house (bedroom) plant Lol She was gifted to me by a very special person three months ago to this date & of course I named her almost instantly due to her purple hues underneath the individual leafs that she extends. • • I didn't think I could keep it alive for this long so I challenged myself... If I could keep Violet alive for three months I'm getting a pet in the future, haha. Sooo I guess I'mah start saving 😏 I legit can't wait to get my own place & just completely fill it up with houseplants, give them all names & watch them thrive! I want it to be My Little Kew. Furthermore, I can't wait for a time when All Things Are New... But I'll save that discussion for another post! • • I'm keeping hope alive & praying that prospect becomes a reality as soon as possible. It will help my mental health so much, especially on days like this when I'm bed bound & in excruciating pain. To see life all around through creation is like no other & as an empathetic introvert theres nothing I crave more than nature. • • If you too are struggling today, try to think of one thing that helps you to feel alive, something that gives you hope to carry on in this marathon we call life • • Peace & Positivity, Love & Light to you all! *extra gentle hugs* L.S www.lauraspoonie.co.uk • • #Houseplant #LifeOfASpoonie

He makes NO mistakes & trust me when I say your deep rich complexion is for sure a BLESSING that many can't seem to comprehend but you don't exist for anyone's pleasure to understand • • Just remember when someone tries to throw shade tell them your melanin is way too rich for that so they can keep it moving. • • I'mah forever cap for my little sisters & older sisters. Melanin & Beyond... Lol let me not start yeah 🙏🏾👸🏾 #BrownSkinGirl #LifeOfASpoonie #DisabledAndCute
