Our Mission

​Chronically Beautiful exists for the purpose of raising awareness for Chronic Lyme disease, infusing love into the lives of those who are suffering on any level, discovering beauty wherever it may be found, and ultimately reaching to God to find hope for healing!

"We can do hard things!"

Three years ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease.  After insubordinate amounts of pain and suffering, today I stand to share a worldwide message that healing is possible!  Throughout my journey, with the help of my determined and supportive parents, and a  loving God that guided my healing journey, I learned that my body is capable of healing itself, by itself.   Now I stand and share my story with you in hopes to bring hope for healing to those who feel like all is lost.  There is hope and happiness ahead.

Dear Future Husband, From Your Chronically Ill Wife: Part 2

Two years ago I wrote a letter to my future husband.  My first letter was a call for true love, despite Lyme disease.  This one is that hope continued and reinforced with a whole new perspective.  My hope goes out to anyone who feels immense loneliness due to any form of brokenness.  May someday someone come along and aid in making your heart whole again. 

A Glimpse into Anxiety Disorder

I've suffered from Lyme disease all my life, and one of the very critical symptoms of such a disease is severe anxiety.  This is my personal account of what it feels like to suffer from severe anxiety caused by the physical bacteria in my body.  Anxiety disorder is not always necessarily just a disorder all by itself, rather it is often times a symptom of greater imbalances in the body.  This has been my case for years, and I've finally decided to open up about it and raise awareness for the inward torture that so many people seem to struggle with.
