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,…

Source
All throughout this blog I talk about God / Source / the Universe and getting “connected”, but what does that all really mean, or feel like? The whole purpose of my journey, I believe, is to discover those things for myself. And what a journey it has been. I am a stubborn soul. It has…

Acceptance
For the past 17 years, I feel like I have been perpetually mourning because of Multiple Sclerosis. I have experienced all of the stages of grief at different times throughout my journey except for the last stage – acceptance. Every time a new symptom has appeared or I lose another function, I go through different…

Faith/Knowing
Today marks the one year anniversary of my “epiphany” about being healed. In the blog “Believing is Seeing” you can read about my first experience of getting completely connected to my source and the love within. It has been quite a year since. I have really been trying to focus on the positive aspects of…

I Am…
You are ugly! You are stupid! You are fat! Do I have your attention yet? I’m sure some of you are offended and taking those statements very personally – as you should! Would you want to be around someone very long who spoke to you this way? I hope not. I hope you would remove…

Focus
Have you ever wanted something so badly that it became all you could think about? Many times when that happens, the item you desire always seems just out of reach which only increases your desire for it. Unfortunately, many times by focusing so hard on what we want, we create the opposite effect or delay…

Worthiness
Worthiness is the quality of being good enough. It’s hard to write/say out loud, but something I have struggled with throughout my life is being good enough. Everyone’s instinct when they hear someone say this is to reassure the person and tell them how great they are. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate compliments and…
