Everyone who lives with chronic pain could use a daily reminder of our strength and courage. Anna Eidt, who blogs about migraine at Brain Storm and writes for Migraine.com, and her friend Jamie Ashforth have created a beautiful 2016 art calendar to do just that. Anna wrote the text and Jamie painted watercolors in response to Anna’s words. The image in this post is a sneak peek of the calendar; you can see details in this PDF preview.
This beautiful calendar would make a great gift (to someone else or to yourself!). The calendar is available on Anna’s blog and in Jamie’s Etsy shop. You still have time to order for Christmas delivery!
The mail carrier just delivered my calendar today, and it’s gorgeous and awesome!
Oh how I wish I had seen the calendar before Christmas. I would have loved to but one for each of my loved ones and special friends. Never have I seen in print, my life. I still intend to purchase and distribute some. Perhaps it will shed some light into my life for others.
Just what I – and I imagine others in the chronic pain community – could use as a difficult, pain-full year draws to a close and a new year begins. Usually I feel hope renewed at the beginning of a year, but as I age living with chronic migraine and persistent daily headache -and their fallout – gets harder to endure. This calendar looks lovely – both the art and supportive affirmations. I’ve added it to my Christmas list!
