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. I’ll be honest, I panicked at the thought because I wasn’t sure how to put into words the methods I am using/have tried. Pretty ironic considering I’ve spent the…

From a Journey to a Lifestyle
According to Google, a journey is “the act of traveling from one place to another.” (This signifies that a journey has a destination and will eventually end.) When a journey is over, one normally returns to where they started. A lifestyle is defined as the way in which a person or group lives. When I…

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…
