4 years, wow.. to think that 4 years ago today I was saved. Stevie saved my life, gave me a second chance, gave me a new life. Sometimes when I think back I feel how surreal it all seems.. to think that ulcerative colitis nearly took my life.. a slow and painful death.. 4 years…
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…

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…

Berlin trip was brilliant! I just about survived, we didn't stress too much which was nice, and spent most of the time stopping to eat at various places so I got a fair bit of rest thankfully! And of course the main reason for the trip was to check out a bronze foundry so that…
3 years ago today - January 31 - was the day I met my blondie. I was out on a girls night, totally off men and just enjoying being me. It was a cold night and payday weekend so everywhere was busy. We were cold and didn't want to stand in the queues so we…
Wow. I cannot believe it has been a year! Today marks the day! November 1st. What a year it has been. It's amazing to think what I have been able to do thanks to Stevie! So lets rewind a bit first. After an extremely tough month, or well months of no food, no sleep, a…
This summer I have realised something, well rather had it confirmed. My body is made for warmer climate. I love the sun, I love having a golden shine, it makes me feel healthy and boosts my confidence like god knows what, and best of all, I don't feel like I need to wear as much…
