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…

Exercising with Multiple Sclerosis

Exercising with Multiple Sclerosis

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…

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…

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…

Synchronicity with the universe, Law of Attraction

Synchronicity with the universe, Law of Attraction

Now you might be thinking what is she talking about today? This has happened to everyone but you may call it something else. Have you ever been thinking of someone and the phone rings and it’s them? Maybe you kept seeing the same number pop up all day. Perhaps you were sleeping and had a dream about something to find out the next day it was true? These are instances of synchronicity with the universe. Random things maybe coincidence but…
