You Are What You Eat

I remember when I was a child, and naive. I thought if foods were in our supermarkets and served in our restaurants, it must mean they were okay to eat. I remember understanding that an apple might be a better choice than a bag of chips, but I didn’t understand that the bag of chips had chemicals in it that were absolutely not for human consumption. I didn’t know there was an FDA and I definitely didn’t know that this governing agency, employed with the task of protecting me from harmful foods, was failing...

The MS Symptom Nobody Told You About

It was July of 2007 and I was waiting for the most important results of my life. I had had my first MRI two days before I was scheduled to leave town for a training in California with Dr. Joseph Riggio. The results I was awaiting  would either confirm or not that I had Multiple Sclerosis, as my neurologist at the time suspected. As you can imagine, I was anxious to hear from her. I called before I left for my trip, but the results weren’t in yet. So I called the following day,...

And, ultimately, the future you imagine for yourself is the direction you’re aiming your life, so be intentional when you do your imagining. If you want to understand the science behind how your thoughts effect your body, Bruce Lipton’s The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miraclesis...

Freewheelin’ or Wheelchairin’?

Imagine this: You want to go visit your friend Melissa but you’ve never been to her house and she lives an hour away, in a town you’ve never been to. Chances are, when you get in your car the first thing you’ll do is program her address into your GPS, so that it can navigate for you the fastest route to get there. Now let’s say that instead of punching in the address of Melissa’s house, you input the address to Bethany’s house, who happens to live 45 minutes in the opposite direction, and...

A Tale of Two Shoe Salesmen

Two shoe salesmen were sent on a mission to Africa in the 1900s to find out if there was any opportunity for selling shoes. They wrote telegrams back to Manchester. One wrote “Situation hopeless! Stop! They don’t wear shoes!” The other one wrote “Glorious opportunity! They don’t have any shoes yet!” Now I’m sure it’s no surprise to any of you that two people could have completely different responses to the same exact situation. But what’s interesting here is how they are different. Shoe Salesmen #1, who saw a hopeless situation, was “sorting for...

You can find the article here. I was even more thrilled to...

MS Warrior: noun A person who shows or has shown great vigor or courage  in an activity, cause, or conflict, as in living a kick-ass, purposeful life despite – or, oftentimes because of, having Multiple Sclerosis. Patricia Lay-Dorsey is an excellent example of someone living with MS, but not defined by it. She’s not a victim, nor is she allowing her illness to prevent her from being on her path. At 67 she’s having a love affair with her newfound passion, photography, despite her disability. She’s taken the reality of her life with MS...
