Evolving Sara
Who the FUCK am I?!?!? What the FUCK is the point of my life?!?!? I feel like I have been thrown into an existential crisis. Since losing the ability to walk, and the ability to do many of the things I enjoy due to Multiple Sclerosis, I often question who I am and what my…

Judgy Judgerson
That title refers to me – and I’m guessing it can refer to all of my readers, also. (Yep, I’m already judging you because that’s what I do!) If we’re all being completely honest here, VERY few people, if anyone in this world, lives judgment free. Some of us just become judgier than others –…

The Victim or The Creator
There are many things that happen in our daily existence that are outside of our control. These experiences usually elicit some type of emotion. Think about your day so far. Have there been experiences that have altered your mood – either positively or negatively without you consciously choosing that emotion? When someone cuts you off…

New Year, Same Me
As we get ready to bring in a new year, many of us take the time to reflect on the prior year and embrace the prospect of new beginnings/possibilities for the future. I have always used the new year to set goals for myself through resolutions. I quit smoking cigarettes on a new year, began…

Body, Spirit & Mind
Someone contacted me recently, asking me to talk to a friend of theirs who is newly diagnosed with MS about the healing lifestyle I have embraced.

Fill Your Bucket
Since my last post (3 months ago) I have been dealing with a lot of negative emotions. I don’t know if starting therapy in March unearthed some things I need to deal with, if these feelings and thoughts stem from my MS and its constant battle against my body or what spurred this episode. I…

Toxic Positivity
PSA: If you are offended by foul language, you probably want to skip this post. I have always smiled – a lot. Sometimes I don’t even realize it and my face just naturally goes to that position. Some people suffer from RBF (Resting Bitch Face). I guess I was blessed with RNF (Resting Nice Face).…

Asking for help
I have never given much thought to how I feel about asking for help, until recently. Probably because before the progression of my disease I rarely HAD to ask for help (Or more than likely I didn’t ask even when I probably should have). Now, it is an everyday, many times a day, occurrence. And…

I Love ME!
On this Valentine’s Day, I feel it is important that I give love to myself. I have spent my life trying to be what I thought everyone else wanted me to be. I have tried to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, a good wife, a good mother, a good employee,…
