Who's Hungry? With Ian Taverner

Who's Hungry? With Ian Taverner

Ian Taverner just like the rest of us learned how to cook simply to survive, however bit by bit his health slowly started to wear him down mentally and physically. Being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), Arthritis, Prinzmetal Angina, Anxiety and Depression caused Ian to go through a dark period called the groundhog years. Eventually with a lot of time, practice and patients Ian adapted his cooking methods and the tools he uses to fit hi accessibility needs to the point where he wrote his own cookbook called Mr. Cookfullness combining the joys of cooking with the mindfulness that as long as your are enjoying the cooking process, able to do it safely and enjoy what your eating anyone can cook.

So if you're hungry for more information on Ian Taverner's journey or you'd like to pickup your copy of Mr. Cookfullness check out the links below until next time Keep Calm and Roll On

Cancer doesn't choose you can! with Marnie Clark

Marnie Clark seeming had the perfect life a happy marriage, a successful business, three happy full grown kids until everything changed. 2021 was a tough year for many but for Marnie it was especially challenging after a diagnosis of stage 4 small cell lung cancer and going through a major surgery to remove tumours that were pressing on her brain. Marnie has been in staple condition for the last year and spends her time blogging about her journey of recovery on her blog called "Good Things Good People" While cancer doesn't choose its victims you can choose to be down and out or spending the time you have making memories with those who matter most.

Meet The McGinn's Part 1 William McGinn

Willam McGinn has been creating for as long as he could remember from writing the Sly Cooper book series to voiceover work, book and film reviews and so much more. Willam was born with what was thought to be Aspergers Syndrome was later diagnosed as autism , the difference between the two being those with Autism are more likely to experience communication delays while those with Aspergers Syndrome may be more socially awkward but, this varies from case to case. While there is an entire spectrum of challenges associated with Autism, after reading Luke Jackson's "Freaks,Geeks and Aspergers Syndrome: A User Guide to Adolescence Willam decided regardless of wether he has Aspergers Syndrome, or Autism he was born with a gift that should be celebrated and cherished. Five novels later Willam's career continues to show upwards as he preforms in community theatre plays around the Kawartha Lakes area. William is a shining example of what all individuals disabled, on the spectrum or from any any background can achieve so, The next time you see someone who may be struggling or you might consider to be odd or weird please remember all of us have something beautiful to offer the world even if it can be hard to find.
