This is my letter to my ‘January 2020 - self’. If I’d have known back then, what I know now, Cheers

Wherever you are in life, try to appreciate the season. Breathe in the air. Be it warm, cold, sweet, humid, rainy, or dry… it will pass. The season will shift. The season will pass. Just try not to wish it away.

Choose your hard. It’s all hard. It’s all challenging. it’s all Brutal. it’s all Beautiful.

Today I celebrate. Today I cry. Today I accept that it’s all Brutiful.

In the same breath, life is Brutal & Beautiful. Brutiful.

I knew what it felt like to have a relapse, but what if… what if it wasn’t a relapse, what if it was a baby…

2 years ago, on January 4, 2020, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (RR-MS). At the time I was in a constant state of stress, anxiety and exhaustion.

We met, we dated, we fell in love, … I got sick. Now it feels like our future wedding vows have a heavier weight and meaning to them, than most.

“Wow!!! I had no idea you were going through that… I am so sorry”…

Progress(n): forward or onward movement toward a destination. The act of moving toward a goal

Progress(v): move forward or onward in space or time. To develop to a higher, better, or more advanced stage

A letter to myself. Happy MS’d Up Anniversary

At some point, we must abandon the illusion that our life was supposed to turn out differently.

Ideas, suggestions, encouragements, reality checks, and insights welcome, wanted and appreciated. How do you manage your battles? Overcome your moments? Find peace in your wars?

MS couldn’t just take my legs… It has to take my memories too!?!?!

Brace for Impact

Spoiler Alert… I have Multiple Sclerosis.

You’re in the drivers seat. Buckle Up.

FAITH. EVEN WHEN THE DARKNESS OVERWHELMS YOUR WORLD. ESPECIALLY THEN.

We hadn’t even promised each other, “In sickness, and in health”, yet…

Dear Multiple Sclerosis, when you imagined how much you could take away from a person, WHY did you have to take away Bread/Carbs too?!
