This is a blog about navigating personal identity and societal norms. I write about everything from health, motherhood and work, to appearance, class and prejudice. Yellow Lyme is about engaging, asking questions, and seeing things from multiple perspectives. Where one person will see a lemon, another will see a yellow lime. Enjoy your stay, visit often, invite along your favourite people, and write to me with your thoughts and ideas.
