Monday around 9:30 p.m., if you had walked into my house you would have found me sitting cross-legged on the floor, rocking back and forth, sobbing, heaving, and thrusting out deep, guttural, staccato sounds of agony. This is not what I typically do on a Monday evening. But something serendipitous is happening. Not fun,...

I’m part of a mother’s circle. We meet once a week and talk about our lives. This week, one woman who I’ll call Rachel broke down in tears and began explaining that she was having a particularly difficult time. She feels unappreciated and overworked at her job and guilty because it prevents her from...

As some of you may know, I’m on a manifesting kick. On Friday, I asked the universe for a magical weekend. I didn’t know what I meant when I asked for it, I just knew I wanted to experience something magical. Freakin’ universe. It hooked me up, big time, but as usual, with irony...

The phrase “keep fighting” gets bandied about the MS community quite frequently. Fight the MS monster, fight your disease, don’t give up the fight. I understand how this can be empowering for some people, a cheerleading phrase of encouragement to keep on keepin’ on. However… You and your illness are not separate. Multiple Sclerosis...

Dr. Mark Hyman is my kinda guy. I love that he’s willing to stand outside the paradigm of Western Medicine and say “Hey, here’s another way, and it’s a way that’s working.” He recently published a post on his blog UltraWellness about why the current thinking on autism is wrong. He says: “The real...

I’ll be concluding the 5-part series on beliefs soon, but I wanted to take today to address a question I received via email. The question comes from (I’ll call her) Penelope, the wife of a patient of Ann Boroch (Ann healed herself of MS many years ago and now works as a naturopath, helping...

Bread is everywhere, but that doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Muffins and donuts and candy are everywhere but that doesn’t mean they’re good for you. Trans fats, partially hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, refined sugar, or sugar-substitute chemicals are in nearly everything, but that doesn’t mean they’re good for you. When I was...

My life is in flux right now, and as such, I am particularly attuned to messages from the universe about which direction to move – literally and figuratively. Below is a literal one – an article that just found its way to me via a thoughtful colleague who sent me the link. Apparently, the...
