MY BRAIN IS WEARING PINK SHOES
“…so neither ought you to attempt to cure the body without the soul; and this is the reason why the cure of many diseases is unknown to the physicians because they are ignorant of the whole, which ought to be studied also; for the part can never be well unless the whole is well.”
Plato, Charmides, c. 399-387 B.C.
Being told you've inherited a rare, incurable, and progressive neurological disorder must be a curse … or could it be a blessing?
Given such a diagnosis in 2005, Yvonne F. Keziah sought to address her illness in traditional ways. She failed to find the elusive Holy Grail of health but began to wonder—could there be causes beyond rogue genes?
Discovering meditation and personal development opportunities led to unexpected enlightenment and major introspection. Could this new learning truly impact her bleak outlook?
While exploring the body-mind connection, she embarked upon a fascinating journey of self-discovery and deep emotional healing. Unbidden, she began to radically transform her life and her personality, solidifying her identity beyond her wildest dreams.
From diagnosis to her first breakthrough in 2016 and beyond, Yvonne candidly chronicles her search for solutions and the amazing discoveries that followed.
Adversity can arise in many ways; you don't need an illness to get something fundamental from Yvonne’s story.
About the author
Leaving her native France where she grew up to discover America in 1985, Yvonne came home three years later but moved to the UK for work and has lived there ever since. Having to cope with her failing health has given the author a unique chance to satisfy her longing to write but also, using her own path, help others achieve fulfilment and a joy for life, no matter what. Writing under the pen name of Yvonne F. Keziah, "MY BRAIN IS WEARING PINK SHOES" is the author’s first book.
