Sweeney’s Blogs: October 2020 Update

October 31, 2020James Sweeney

I love writing update posts from time to time here on Sweeney’s Blogs. They not only help all of you amazing readers see how the page is going, but they also allow me the chance to reflect over the last few weeks, what went well and things that can be improved, stuff like that. I try and make sure that I do an update post every now and again on the page, but there has been loads going on recently, so there has not been an update since August time.

So here is Sweeney’s Blogs October 2020 Update!

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!

Sweeney’s Peutz-Jeghers Story – My Dance with Death

October 17, 2020October 13, 2024James Sweeney

On the 16th of October 2014, I came three hours from death in an experience that changed my life. After being rushed to the hospital, tested all night and eventually operated on, it is a sheer miracle that I managed to survive and push through to where I am today. I’m James Sweeney, and this is my Peutz-Jeghers Story, what I refer to as “My Dance with Death”:

Sweeney’s Blogs New Artwork!

September 21, 2020September 21, 2020James Sweeney

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!

Today’s blog is going to be about a new piece of art that has been made for the page!

I’ve been waiting to announce the new graphic for the page for a little while now and am delighted to finally share it with all of you today! Pearl Onyeneke came up with the idea for the piece of art and drew an absolutely amazing drawing for it. A good mate of mine, called Archie Carpenter, then helped digitise the piece!

Sweeney’s Stuttering Story – The Call

September 12, 2020September 16, 2023James Sweeney

Today’s blog is going to be a little bit different to the usual kind of blog that I write. The blog is going to be focused around a story which happened to me around 4-5 weeks ago, which played a really large role in the increase of the amount that I stutter over the last couple of weeks.

I mentioned in last weeks blog that I was going to talk about it this and, even though it is quite a personal story, I still feel like the messages that we can take from it are very important. It may seem like a very sad story when you read through the first few paragraphs, but there’s always a lesson and a moment of reflection that we can take from moments like this.

So without further ado, this is Sweeney’s Stuttering Story – The Call.

This week I starred in an episode of the “It Starts with Action” podcast, where I talk about a large array of different things, and is going to be what today’s blog is about!

So without further ado,
