This Christmas Bauble is inspired by my journey living with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS for short). Throughout my rather complex medical journey, I have come to truly understand why when it comes to EDS 'Think horse not zebra' which is what doctors are taught is completely backwards when it comes to EDS.
In our case the Zebra pattern is most definitely relevant to each of our shared journeys into living with a condition that so often causes us to have rare and complex co-morbidities rather than the most common conditions!
As I have often struggled to accept my own journey with this condition, I felt that using a heart shaped bauble was more appropriate. It is tough to learn self-compassion when your body keeps giving you hell, and perhaps this can act as a reminder to any Zebra you know who is struggling.
So weather you are looking for a gift for a friend, or a treat for yourself, or you simply love Zebras, I hope you find meaning in this quirky stripy bauble full of love.
