My AIP Table - The Journal


Hello!

Welcome to My AIP Table - The Journal.

I have been on a journey for a few years ... a journey I will tell you all about in my next post.
For now though, I want to share a few of my thoughts and the reason for this blog.

Like I said, I have been on a journey.  
It's a journey of healing.
Healing through diet and lifestyle. 
It's not a diet to lose weight.  It's not an on again off again thing.
It's a diet to reverse symptoms, find healing and then live in and maintain health.

I started in April 2017 and I haven't looked back.

I have an instagram account called My AIP Table where I share mostly photos of food.
I enjoy that platform but I want to do something a little more for 2020.

I want to write an online journal of sorts ... that is what you have stumbled upon here!

I want a place where I can write notes about what I am learning. 
Notes with links to various websites and blogs and podcasts that I find helpful.

A place where I can write notes to myself ... notes that might be 
helpful to others who are on a similar sort of journey.

A place to talk about books ... cookbooks, health books, etc.
I might even prepare and then review some recipes out of said cookbooks! 

I will share recipes.  
Links to recipes I love that are already online.
Recipes that I have modified.
Recipes that are my own.

I may also write some posts about the journey itself.  
The triumphs.  The failures.   The ups.  The downs.  The joy.  The sorrow.
We will see how that plays out ... at this stage, it's just a dream.

This is a journal written not by a doctor, or a scientist, but by an ordinary 
woman trying to make sense of the vast expanse of information available.  
A human being just like you, trying to do the best 
with the hand I have been dealt.

I'd love for this to be a place of interaction.
A place where you and I can find common ground and connection.
Where our differences don't matter so much as our common
goal of renewed health does.  I hope to encourage you
in your journey as I walk my own.

Welcome!

Let's see where this goes ...

Hi, I'm Bonnie. This is my journal. ** Let me tell you about my journey ... **  There is a quote that says : "Everyone you meet is fighting a battle  you know nothing about. Be Kind. Always."  That quote has resonated with me since the  first time I heard it ...because  I believe it to be completely true.  Everyone has a battle. (and so many of them secret.)  I'm about to share mine with you.  Let me give you a short introduction to the video below, an introduction in how it pertains to me.  I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa. (HS)   I didn't know it was called that until a handful  of years ago. I always just called it "my bumps" ... and only to my husband because he was  the only other person who knew the extent of it  (until a few years ago). He was ... and is still ... the only person (apart from doctors) who have ever seen it in it's entirety.  Unlike Jackson, who shares so bravely  in the Ted Talk below, my HS

Word of the Year for 2021

  I doubt I need to say that 2020 didn't go as planned. For anyone. It's interesting though, as it always is, that the word I chose for the year ended up being exactly the right one.  It took on a completely different meaning than I had imagined it would.  I chose the word DANCE for 2020. I didn't really know how the word would  play out but early into  the whole COVID shut down,  it became  clear that  2020 was going to be about rhythms ... everything  changed, basically overnight, and we were left to figure out what our new rhythms would be. Here in Australia, or at least where we live, life has basically gone back to normal ... just with COVID protocols and increased cleaning, etc.  For us as a family, life went back to  'normal'-ish but then our puppy was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer.  We  walked a bittersweet couple of months with him, enjoying every minute that we had left.   Life had already  slowed to it's new rhythm and we slowed it even more to

Word of the Year for 2023

  What a year 2022 was, am I right?  It was an interesting one for me as far as my word went. That word was build.  I won't go into all   the details but if you want them,  they are in lasts years post. As usual, the year and my  word looked very different to what I  had envisioned.  I had wanted to build a new habit  each month but I found that feeling tedious  and without a natural flow so I abandoned it in June.   I was totally ok with that.  These words are meant to be  life giving and enriching, not restrictive. As for the rest of it, I feel I did build on  things I had previously learned.  But I feel like  I am always doing that. That's what  life is, right? Learning. As I reflect on the year gone, I feel  a sense of having had to tear some things down as a  foundation for future building that will happen.  One example of that process  is making the decision and resigning from my  job of sixteen years.  It wasn't a job I ever  saw myself resigning from but life had  d
