Why did I start a blog?

Why did I start a blog?

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…

Thank you universe

Thank you universe

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…

multiple sclerosis and diet

multiple sclerosis and diet

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…

A day in the life with MS

A day in the life with MS

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…

Sometimes you have to say NO!!!

Sometimes you have to say NO!!!

Sometimes we have every intention to do something. Either we made an appointment or plans with friends or volunteered your time somewhere. However this decision was made a week ago, three days ago or even yesterday. Then you wake up that day and your body doesn’t cooperate. You wake up a little more tired, sore, achy, weak. Yes with every disease listening to your body is extremely important. However how many people who don’t have any disease don’t listen? Stress…

The bad mood

The bad mood

You know those days where everything is just aggravating. One thing right after another. Then you finally get that free minute to sit down and relax, de-stress and bang dog throws up on the rug or your daughter calls asks for a favor and you just loose your sh&t. Ever have those overwhelming days that your just in a Bad mood? Of course you did we all do. We finally snap at what seems pretty petty but because everything during…

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can….

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can….

How many times have I said I can do it, no big deal to pay the price for it during or after. About a month ago we were with the family in the city going to have dinner. The restaurant was only 4 blocks away, no big deal, they weren’t avenues. We certainly didn’t need a cab. It wasn’t raining too badly. After block 1 that voice inside came up saying uh oh…this isn’t going to go well. The four…

Good bye scale part 2

Good bye scale part 2

It’s been about 2 weeks since I put away the scale and I decided to take it out today and check. The 5lbs that i was up after my weight watchers monthly weigh in binge was gone but nothing else. However what I’ve found most interesting over the last few weeks is my cravings for junk have been almost non existent. I haven’t had any major days of eating uncontrollably. I certainly have let my body be my deciding voice…

Opinion for parents: microchip chip for kids

Opinion for parents: microchip chip for kids

My little sister and I had this philosophical discussion the other day about parenting decision. We both have dogs that have a Microchip in them in case God forbid they were lost. The chip has all the information of where he lives, my name and number or at least the vet information so I can get him back. Now why wouldn’t we give one to our children? You’d be able to always know where they are like a lo-jack feature…

Plenty of fish and I hooked a catfish

Plenty of fish and I hooked a catfish

Well I’d love this to be a loving post but it’s not…I met a guy on Plenty of fish. If you haven’t read my last post on this website I’ll quickly fill you in. This website concerns me. Anyone can be on it because it’s free. There really is NO tracking so plenty of fish has no real knowledge of who the people making a profile are they don’t need a credit card. They could be married they could be…
