I know it was only a blanket but I am so saddened by its demise. As an engagement gift from my Aunt and Uncle almost 23 years ago, my Ralph Lauren Denim blanket. This was the greatest blanket. Heavy and soft, kept you warm on those cold nights. I’d look forward to every winter when I could bring it back out to cover my bed again. Last year for Hanukkah, my mom bought me a winter blanket. In 23 years,…
This blog was inspired by another MS blogger, who like me, has had this disease along time. Her positive spirit is always an inspiration. https://trippingthroughtreacle.com/2017/11/28/accept-adapt-succeed/ It wasn’t one time, it’s been many times. The first was the day I got my diagnosis. I didn’t understand what MS was. There wasn’t an internet yet I could search. I had to look it up in an old set of encyclopedias that were in my home. It had maybe two paragraphs in the…
What’s your worst and MS symptom, besides fatigue ? At first I would’ve always answered the numbness, but eventually you get used to it. Not used to it in the sense that it feels normal, use to it in the sense that this is how it is. My hands and fingers are so numb all the time. I’ve lost all tactile feeling and sometimes can’t tell the difference between an item that is wet or dry, cotton or silk and…
Everyone around me seemed to take a deep breath now that I’m not fully vegan anymore. On Thanksgiving I let a couple of things slide, but the only things I really added to my diet is fish, low-fat ground turkey and chicken. I pulled out all rice. I’m sticking to quinoa or bulgur or the lower calorie higher fiber grains as per weight watchers. Other than that change, I’m still making my vegan recipes. I still try to keep the…
I’m going to have many posts about these oils in the future but because I’m packing and moving, my time is limited. Let me start by saying that my first introduction to these essential oils was at my Spirit Junkie Masterclass last year. I had a terrible headache and no medicine to help it. I ended up at the booth for DoTERRA and they put on me a mixture of something and rubbed it into my temples and hairline. Other…
First, I’m going to update you on my yesterday‘s post regarding my beautiful daughter and her boyfriend, they are back together and all is fine. It’s amazing about these two, as much as I can’t stand the relationship sometimes, they’re perfect for each other in a lot of ways. He’s just as messed up as she is. He truly loves her and she truly loves him. If they can both just grow up and communicate with each other their relationship…
If I ever thought my breakups were bad, it was just because I never experienced my child go through a breakup. Omg, this must have been the worst 36 hours of my life. I think I prefer the biweekly tears than go through these last 36 hours again. They had a fight and her boyfriend decided he wanted a break for a week. Then my daughter got swept up by her imagination and did a drive by of his house….
Happy Thanksgiving for those in the US. We have a tradition, started by my sister, that we go around the table to say what we are thankful for each year. This year I decided to blog my list. My daughter. She is and will always be the center of my world. She is the gift I get to keep watching evolve each year and change and become the beautiful picture she is today. She is my proudest moment in any…

My number is 22. It is the number I was drawn to probably because of my birthday. However 22 is my sign when I need help from something other than myself. I never take it from the usual places like the clock, it’s easy to catch a time of 8:22. I’m talking buses and billboards, bumper stickers or tv shows things more coincidental. I feel at peace when I see my 22 like I’m on the right track. Why? 22…
