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…

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…

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).…

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.

Rock bottom
I’ve really been struggling with what to write these last few weeks because honestly, I haven’t been feeling as great physically as I would like and I have not felt the strong connection to my source like I felt the first few months after my epiphany. I thought that I would be up and walking…

Letting go
The phrase “let it go” has come up a lot throughout this crazy journey. That statement can have so many different meanings for different people. Like Elsa from Frozen, I can’t hold it back anymore – I need to let some things go in order to heal. First, my religious upbringing. I was born and…

Finding My Own Miracle: A Journey Through MS Treatment
A Rough Start: My First Neurologist Experience The neurologist who first diagnosed me with MS had a terrible bedside manner and did not instill confidence in my ability to fight the disease head-on. That was one of the many reasons I avoided seeing a neurologist for seven years after my diagnosis. When my symptoms became…

The Road to Healing: Facing MS on My Terms
Denial and the First Signs of Change After my official diagnosis, I went through a year of hard-core denial. I didn’t want to talk or hear about Multiple Sclerosis. That was easy enough when nothing was changing physically. But then, I noticed a slight foot drop in my right foot. At first, it wasn’t noticeable…
