Meet my best friend Liv, @livmiles as today it’s her 24th birthday. She has been a great source of love, support, courage and inspiration since we met 11 years ago. We have had some amazing adventures together including high school, China, French classes, The Hills marathons, L’Oréal Melbourne fashion week, festivals, vegan enthusiast cafés and the many long phone calls of which I’m surprised we didn’t run out of things to talk about. Moreover, the first photo was my first hospital visit in May 2015 when Liv was first hospitalised after experiencing her first ever seizure. It was the worst kind, tonic clonic (full body) and 10 minutes later, she emerged black & blue. She was rushed by ambulance to hospital and after 9 weeks at The Alfred, the Neurology team at the Alfred diagnosed her with a rare form of autoimmune Encephalitis (something she didn’t know even existed). She’s since had numerous MRI’s, ultrasounds, EEG’s, lumbar punctures and video monitoring all in the name of trying to find a solution. Fast forward to today.. at 24 years she no longer has Encephalitis but is left with a type of Epilepsy that’s semi-resistant to the large cocktail of drugs she’s still on. Hopefully one day she’ll get back to uni, work and do things in life that we take for granted such as being legally allowed to drive, writing with a pen or remembering words during a conversation. For now though, Liv is ever cheerful and says this is her new normal ! She embraces any opportunity to help others going through the same thing and this Sunday 21st of October she will be taking part in the #WalkForEpilepsy in support of the Epilepsy Foundation to help raise funds and awareness to support people who are impacted by Epilepsy. If you are interested to take part in the Walk in Princess Park or Donate to the team “Liv’s Journey”. The LINK is below. https://walkforepilepsy-2018.everydayhero.com/au/susie

Happy 23rd Birthday Lani A. Tamana ! I thought we were sisters, but according to age we’re twins. Thank you for paying me a visit from Sydney - I don’t know if it’s my birthday or yours, but I’m grateful for having such a beautiful, charitable, spontaneous and talented partner in crime. @lanitamana

• T e c h n o l o g y • My iPhone literally created this video for me. It actually is such an accurate representation of my last moments with @lanitamana

• Feeling sentimental • Shout out to my beautiful companions of which I had too many for Instagram to let me feature.

What better way is there to update my whereabouts than a temple photo #zion
