Welcome to Astrid's Words, a blog inspired by Life and dedicated to spreading the beauty of Life! I am Astrid Hardjana-Large, the author and creator of this blog. As an adventurer in life, I am blessed to continuously meet new realizations and lessons to share.

For most of my life, I have lived with a neurological disorder. I survived epilepsy in my youth. Diversity became a natural part of my life. Working with unexpected changes, adapting to what life presents and being conscious of life gifts has been the practice that motivates me to discover and share.

With the experience of falls and head bangs, two brain surgeries and a stroke, I commit myself to living Life to the fullest. Life is an adventure in whatever role we find ourselves in. We will continuously encounter challenges and uncover many things about ourselves and the world around us. For whatever I am unable to understand on my journey, I aim to learn and grow with. 

In sharing my discoveries, I aim to spread hope, love and perseverance. I encourages everyone to keep growing and become who they are meant to be! I look forward to relating with all of you and drawing more inspiration together!
