I had an epiphany while reading May Cause Miracles yesterday I decided what I perceive when I look in the mirror. Pretty profound huh? It really shouldn’t of been. I’ve been doing this for a while. A 3 year student of A Course In Miracles this idea is taught everyday. I guess something just click for me yesterday and it all made sense. When I look in a mirror, I decide what I see. It’s my perception…
I woke up early on Saturday morning. I decided to use one of my Zumba cds and exercise in my chair. I use to to stand for the entire work out. Then I’d sit for every other song. It became I’d push through standing for three songs in the beginning and sitting for the rest. Now I barely stand for one song. Yet I still do it and for that I’m proud. I knew it would take me at least…
I’ve shared many blogs explaining how things were getting harder for me. My physical therapist, whom I been seeing for over two years, made a recommendation that maybe it’s time to try steroids. He is also notice the difference. His thinking was maybe, just maybe, this is actually some flareup of a MS. Maybe a course of steroids would take down any inflammation and give me back a little bit of my strength. Since I saw my neurologist less than…
I’m Jamie. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1998. I have been lucky that I’ve been able to be on my feet for many years but my time to be in the wheelchair is here. I have been a single mom since my daughter was 7. She was born with a progressive hearing loss. She received bilateral cochlear implants. I dedicated most of my years to getting her the help she needed in school both academically and socially. My…
Another great article found in multiple sclerosis news today by Patricia Inacio, PHD. Fast Forward, a nonprofit subsidiary of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, will invest up to $330,000 to advance the clinical development of an antibody that was shown to lessen inflammation and nerve cell damage in a multiple sclerosis (MS) mouse model. The funding will help develop the antibody (a protein the immune system uses to neutralize pathogens such as bacteria and viruses) in order to have properties more similar to those…
I had a condo board meeting yesterday. I love where I live but the condo needs a lot of work. I know they are looking for solutions from the homeowners of how to get that work done. I think that they should combine our assessment loans take out additional funds and just do what needs to get done and stop piecing together each project. However, technically I’m a renter. My mom and step dad pay the maintenance fees so I…
I am happy to be home. I slept a lot over the weekend. I was so tired, still am. This morning will be my first day back in the pool. I was happy to be back. Was able to do my 25 laps. I like routine and I’ve noticed that I get anxiety when I’m out of routine. I get major anxiety packing to go away which completely affects all my MS symptoms. Every time I go away somewhere, no…
I haven’t talked about my spiritual journey that much in my blog. It’s something that’s very important to me because it really changed my life. Every day before I do anything else I read my lesson in A Course in Miracles. This book sets my whole day. It’s sets my thoughts, patterns, my purpose as…
Today I return home. I’ve had some real growth moments this week and I’m so grateful. This week was wonderful and the women I met were very special. I’m ready to go home. My body is tired and my mind is tired. The week was intense. I miss my dogs. k Before I go, one more sunrise. Have a wonderful weekend.
Well I can certainly say today’s content is much lighter than yesterday’s. We are discussing marketing and the online presence. Hey, I got that. I write a blog. It’s all about website and blog related information. Right up my alley, no tears. Yet I walked out of the meeting pretty cranky. The room we used was so hot. Every time a window was opened, some one closed it minutes later. Here I am in a very light shirt overheating. Overheating…
