My Journey to Now
I have been on a journey since I was first diagnosed with MS, but particularly for the last 2 years. Here’s a little bit of what has led me to this post! Stage 1: Denial When I was first diagnosed, I had never even heard of Multiple Sclerosis so of course the first thing I…
Are you gonna let it go or make these Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups?
“Later is the best friend of clutter” – Peter Walsh What makes us hold on to some things and easily toss others?

Some days are diamonds and others….not so much! Lemon Blueberry Muffins

Today I feel secure knowing that tomorrow is another day!
Today I started a 21 Day meditation challenge with Oprah and Deepak and I will begin this by saying that I already started off on the wrong foot because today was actually Day 2, but I blew off Day 1. Now, in my defense, I had a rough night before the real Day 1 (I…
Sometimes you accidentally find things, just when you needed them most
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about my family heritage and particularly about close family members who have passed away, so while I was looking for some papers related to our property, I ran across some information about my grandfather and my mom that was shared at their funerals. Obviously I had filed these things…
