This photo popped up on my facebook page memories a few days ago, from 6 years ago.. at first I didn't think much of it, and then I realised why it actually has a great deal of importance.. 3 months before this photo I had moved to Malmö, a new city where I barely knew…
Hey there Everyone, it's Stevie here. Charlotte has been doing all the talking for coming up to four years soon, and you know what, I felt like it was time I got to have a say too, I've kept quiet for long enough now! As you know, I'm Stevie, Stevie the Stoma, and I was…
Hey all! What a crazy time it is now ey! Illness and isolation... and a fair bit of worry.. I'm writing this from my little self isolation bubble. After the government declared me as part of the "high risk" group, and recommended self isolation, I decided it definitely was wise.. although I'm not gonna lie,…
The last few weeks I've been feeling really down about myself. I have felt fat, well maybe not fat, but I have definitely got a rounder face again (which, yes, I know, it's only me who can see it, but man can I see it!). I have also been having this really odd reaction where…

So I've done this thing...and in the worlds of one of mums favourite sayings; "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone" ~ Neale Donald Walsch This has sort of become quite a big thing for me, pushing myself to do things I wouldn't normally do, or things that scare me a bit, or…
What a start to the year... I have had an absolutely amazing time at home in England with my mum and sister over Christmas and New year, and as always, leaving was a pain!! On Sunday, the day of travel, I wake up with my ulcerous colitis blossoming up. My body was beyond exhausted, aching…
Posting pictures with Stevie the Stoma on social media is so easy, and I really don't worry all that much, however, that first moment in a new place surrounded by people I don't know, wow that's tough. Who would have thought that undressing on a beach could be so difficult for someone who posts pictures…
Hey all, So it's soon my birthday, the big 30, but before I start telling you about that I wanna tell you a little story. A story about Little Charlotte who still lives inside me. Little Charlotte was always an odd child, she never liked surprises, if someone gave her a present when it wasn't…
