Brenden Pettingill

If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

5 poems·Since February 2018

My name is Brenden. I'm a yogi, a writer and nomad. Since the day I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at age 18 my whole life changed. It was a blessing in disguise, and since then, I have spent much of my time studying and learning about health and wellness, so that sickness never prevents me from doing the things I love to do. I live and love to travel, write poetry, read and teach. I'm a sailor, surfer and adventurer that hopes to share my experiences and knowledge so that you can also live a life free of illness. Free to do the things you love today so you aren't stuck waiting for tomorrow. Website: http://brendenpettingill.com/
