News day! I am switching neurologists. I have been quiet on this transition with most everyone, but today I get to meet with my new neurologist for the first time, and I am both excited and nervous about this. I am thankful that my switch to a new neurologist is not a result of worsening … Continue reading Out With The Old, In With The New
I feel like so much of my life I’ve been waiting to “grow up”, or waiting for whatever is to come next that is supposed to be this ideal place in my life. I remember thinking when I was 16, “I just need to get through high school, college will be so much fun…” And … Continue reading When I grow up
Wait a second. It’s 2019? I can’t believe it. The time between Christmas and New Years is so surreal. I never know what day it is, where I am supposed to be, or what is actually happening. It’s like time goes forward and backward and in loops a little. (Jeremy Bearimy time…anyone a The Good … Continue reading Bring it on, 2019
I’ll start this one by saying: stick with me. I’m in a rambling mood and I don’t feel great. But here we go! Have you ever seen the movie The Butterfly Effect? Or I guess the more unlikely source is that you heard about it in regards to chaos theory? I doubt most of my … Continue reading The Butterfly Effect
I was recently asked a question about why I am single. I think it was literally “why don’t you have a boyfriend?!” As soon as it was asked I had chills. It was truly a question that made me think….for a while. And I didn’t realize how active I had been in making sure I … Continue reading It wasn’t you, it was me

My company had their annual Christmas party, and for the first time I took a date. (Okay, maybe now I feel like … Continue reading Little big moments
I’m trying this new thing where I am trying to be more direct and conscious with my words and actions. I am trying to be more aware of how I make people feel, and making them more aware of how I feel about them. It’s been about two months, and I’m probably the only one … Continue reading Direct and Conscious
Just recently I have become friends with someone I have somewhat known for about 4 years. It has been an interesting experience, because I am learning about their life, which for four years I imagined to be quite different. You see, you really never know what is going on with someone in their life. I … Continue reading Choose Kindness
Tonight I was looking through old pictures and had this strange feeling come over me. It’s so strange what a photo can make you feel. I look back at this photo of me and my two boys, and I can feel so many emotions I can’t even process them. This was the first time L1 … Continue reading A moment in time
When I was diagnosed with MS, it didn’t really take me that long to be able to talk about it. There were a couple months of crying to myself with my close friends and family, and then I would slowly start to talk about it with other friends who maybe weren’t as close. I needed … Continue reading Mommy has MS
