Recently I was asked a tough question, or rather questions: You quote the Lord many times in your writing. Have you always had a good relationship with your faith? To be honest, after I was diagnosed I didn't want to hear about God, I was really angry. What would you say to [others] about reestablishing… Continue reading “What would you say?”

A (bad) day in the life
No one wants to talk about their bad days, or at least I don't. My husband is probably the only person who knows when I'm having a bad "MS" day, but most the time I don't share all the details because I don't want to worry him excessively. I'll say I should work on this...… Continue reading A (bad) day in the life
A (good) day in the life
I've written about my two major MS attacks (here and here), but I thought I would write what a typical "good day" is like for me living with MS.

But that doesn't mean we have to like the ". . . " In that equation :). About to bust out of… Continue reading “…and yet, you are holy”
“You don’t eat bread?!?!”
Dairy, sugar, bread… they were my nearest and dearest friends for 35 years. We were tight. You didn’t see me at a meal without one or all three of them. If I close my eyes, I can still remember what a cup of coffee with half and half and sugar tastes like… or a warm… Continue reading “You don’t eat bread?!?!”
Why “Not Today, MS”?
September 29, 2015 will forever be a defining day in my personal history. I don't remember his exact words, but I remember the tone of the neurologist's voice, the hurried way he explained the images on the MRI, and the agony of watching my husband crumble under the weight of the news. I had never… Continue reading Why “Not Today, MS”?
