Everyday we live it. We deal with the feelings, lack of feelings, the daily challenges and frustrations. However how we do we affect our loved ones around us? I can’t talk about husband because I don’t have one anymore. I can talk about my daughter who takes on a big chunk of the weight because she lives with me but I’m not. I want to talk about the parents. My parents divorced when I was 4. My mother remarried when…
Two chairs, two yoga blocks, one strap I don’t know what to do with and one dog toy dropped off by my marshy when I finally collapsed on the floor. First let me say Tony Horton YogaX kicked my ass. He has you do vinyasas between every move. Is this a normal thing? Oh and he’s so gracious that you can do a push up if you’d like. If I’d like? I could barley do a downward dog. Well I have…
This is one topic I really didn’t want to discuss but I know I can’t avoid. First let me explain I’ve handled Medicaid applications for my job for 13+ years before I stopped working. I know the NYS Medicaid long term care system well. I should back up an explain Medicaid. There are two types of long term Medicaid. One called chronic care and one called community care. The chronic care is for someone in a rehab or nursing facility…
http://Www.blogstarting.org I would love to insert some fabulous answer here that enlightens everyone but I don’t have one. I one day woke up with the idea of starting a blog. I first mentioned the idea to my daughter who was like “ok mom”. Wasn’t a response dripping in support but coming from a 17 year old one might read into those two words as “that’s an idea”. I knew the one person that would give an honest response was my…
A very exciting thing happened to me yesterday. My favorite spiritual teacher is Gabby Bernstein. I belong to her monthly membership and for the first month ever she did a live call with her members. The fist amazing thing is I forgot about it. At 5:57 I picked up one of my 2 iPads and one of her websites were opened. I have no idea how I wasn’t even on her site recently but thank you universe seeing the site reminded…
Exercise? Most people are rolling their eyes right now at the thought. Let me tell you my story with exercising. 9+ years ago when I got a divorce I bought myself an elliptical and made myself a promise, no matter what becomes of this equipment I will never use it as a hanger for my clothing. That was the only deal I made. I started slow with working out. I’d plug my iPod in and do the elliptical for a…
https://www.drmcdougall.com/2014/07/31/results-of-the-diet-multiple-sclerosis-study/ Doing something different today.The link above has valuable and interesting information about diet and MS. Specifically Dr. Roy Swank’s diet. Years ago my first step mother gave me Dr. Swank’s book, The multiple sclerosis diet. You can find it on amazon. It is a low fat diet concentrated on the omega fats, fruits and vegetables. Not ground breaking stuff but there was a small case study on it and the data shows promise. For all we do try with…
Woke up this morning to the phone ringing. It was my mom who is really jealous of my sisters new garden that seems to grow vegetables something her garden refuses to do. After some more mindless chit chat, I hung up with mom and decided to mentally prepare to take my dogs out for their walk. If you read my prior post on walking them this can be a traumatic experience. However today the sun was shining down on me…
