Welcome to Lorrie's Blog Site!👋

A bit about why i decided to do this, attempt to make a blog about Epilepsy and other health conditions + more. 

Back in 2017, maybe earlier, people on social media were talking about blogs & other things they had created, so i would quietly take a look at their websites, struggling within myself if i could even try it. i didn't consider myself the writer type of person.
Fast forward to approx. 2018, i found a blog making site called Webnode, my thought was " it's free so if i mess up being a newbie blogger, there'd be no one to blame but, me ." Created a couple of blog websites, one was: more than just seizures, the other epilepsy journey , as i was trying to do my story from a parent point of view ( Epilepsy, mom of a fighter, idea ), those pages have since been moved here, their new home created Oct. 2025. 

A huge THANK YOU to my oldest daughter for helping me choose the blog website name.

Figuring out where i wanted my 1st blog ( years ago) to go, who to reach was a struggle, not being a writer at that time. It was all so new & still feels like it, every time I post.

I'm constantly learning. 

Throughout these pages, i talk about Epilepsy Awareness, Photosensitivity Epilepsy, SUDEP - Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy, Anxiety , Depression , Seizure first aid & much more . 

My hope is to ;

• empower

• encourage

• connect through friendships / content

• inform

• educate

• advocate

 " Epilepsy affects the entire family differently."

 This isn't a perfect professional site like some folks have, but it's mine & i'm super happy with it.

• Special THANK YOU to webnode support team, for answering all my questions about  building blog pages etc, when i originally made one in 2018, you're incredible!! 

• Something new I've started; recently trying to write other people's journeys with their permission (i have much to learn as for me writing is still new), so if you see those on my blog pages it's because I believe, everyone has a story.

• Note: Even though my main focus is Epilepsy Awareness, I've added other topics as well. Hope you enjoy the content provided.

I leave you with this:
