“Welcome.”
My name is Brigid P. Gallagher, and I live in County Donegal, an area of outstanding natural beauty on the north west corner of Ireland.
I have a passion for gardening and Nature.
Natural Medicines
Although I aspired to becoming a doctor, it was not my destiny. Instead I embarked on studies to become one of the first natural medicine practitioners in Scotland, eventually becoming a tutor for community projects, a woman’s prison, and the Open Studies and Summer Schools of Stirling University from 1993 to 1999.
Fibromyalgia
In 1999, I relocated to Donegal, Ireland – the home of my ancestors. Four years later I succumbed to a mystery illness that was eventually diagnosed as fibromyalgia.
“Stopping the World” forced me to reassess my life, and creative writing became a significant aid in my recovery.
Organic Horticulture
I retrained in organic horticulture, worked in the glorious gardens of Glenveagh Castle, and inspired children and teachers to create organic school gardens through The Heritage in Schools Scheme. In the spring of 2016, I retired from teaching.
Life Lessons on the Importance of Slow
Learning to slow down has been one of my major life lessons – hence the title of this blog and my inspirational self help memoir “Watching the Daisies – Life Lessons on the Importance of Slow.
I hope that you will be inspired on your self healing journey through reading my memoir and my blog posts.
