This morning I was watching people get in their cars and head out for work. There was a part of me that was jealous. Jealous that their life was easy in a way mine wasn’t. I stopped working three years ago. Since then I had to get an aid to assist me 5 days a week, I’m in a wheelchair when I leave my house and I now drive a handicap vehicle. That’s a big change from the days when…
My daughter had a tough week. She is definitely her mother’s daughter picking up some of my own good habits but also some my bad, including negativity. The difference is I work very hard on changing my negative thoughts every day. Sometimes she can’t get out of her own head long enough to see a positive side of anything. It is both frustrating for her as well as those who know her. She asks me all the time how do…
It’s Valentine’s Day here which always marked 3 things for me: The lover’s or lack of one Holiday The weekend I moved into my first house with ex-husband The start of a major MS attack that lead to my diagnosis less than a week later Today marks 21 years ago that I was diagnosed with MS. Crazy!!! Almost half of my life I’ve spent with MS. It is hard to remember the times without the disease. Maybe that’s why I…
I never thought at the age of 47 this would be my life yet I remember being scared when I was diagnosed of being in a wheelchair. I knew what multiple sclerosis could bring about and I feared that when I hit the 10 year mark everything would go downhill rapidly. That wasn’t the case because there were medication developed that helped to slow down the MS progression and more and more have been developed. My life took on a…
I was on vacation. It was my first vacation, other than Florida with family, in years. You can read about it in any of my past weeks blogs. I had to come back early due to the chance of inclement weather in NY. Inclement weather that as of this morning now looks like rain and not snow. I just couldn’t risk not getting home by our anticipated date of Sunday because my daughter is due back at her school to…
This is one of my favorite lessons from a course in miracles. Lesson number 153. https://acim.org/workbook/lesson-153/ The reason it’s my favorite, because it was the hardest for me to deal with and overcome. I’ve written a couple of blogs on this topic my last one being this one https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/12/21/in-my-defenselessness-my-safety-lies/. Even now three years into a course in miracles, it’s still difficult for me to remember this lesson. I always want to defend myself and defend my actions and it’s a…
This book has changed my life. I’ve talked about it many times in my blog. You can purchase the book on Amazon very easily or there is an app for the workbook lessons. There are 365 lessons and you do one a day. However today I wanted to share with you an Instagram feed of my life coach who I’ve been with for a few years now. She started on January 1st posting the lessons but more importantly discussing the…
This was shared by my life coach to me and I knew I needed to share this with my readers. She writes: Since it is officially New Year’s Eve, I thought I would share with you a few things that you can do to welcome in 2019 and all it has to offer. Step 1: Out With The Old What you’ll need: A bowl of water and one alka seltzer, Efferdent, or Polident tablet Before we start thinking about goals and…
Lesson 67 in a course in miracles is love created me like it self. It may sound complex but it is very simple we are love created to love others. When we are born we have no fear or anger. We have basic needs: food, warmth and love. We learn fear and all that is associated with it as we grow up. We are born with only love. This lesson is a reminder of that. When I was meditating this…
I have to be honest, I’m on a fixed income and my finances aren’t completely in order. It’s hard to pull yourself out of debt, even though you’ve made strides, when your income just has a limit. My everyday bills aren’t changing and my disposable income just isn’t enough. I’d have these plans to pay off my debt that would work at first until something else comes up that needs to be paid. The next thing I know the debt…
