“When the ego was made, God placed in the mind the Call to joy. This Call is so strong that the ego always dissolves at its sound. That is why you must choose to hear one of two voices within you. One you made yourself, and that one is not of God. But the other is given you by God, Who asks you only to listen to it.” – A Course in Miracles This morning when I woke up, my head hurt and I immediately felt frustrated. Then I played for a while with...
I’ve had requests from several of my clients recently and from some readers to post a list of my daily supplement regimen, so today I’ve done that. If you’re not taking supplements, you’re missing a crucial opportunity to support and strengthen your body, help it heal, and decrease your symptoms. The downside of supplements is that they’re not cheap. The upside is that this is an entire realm in which you can assert your control and make a real impact on the status of your health. Before I proceed any further, I’ve gotta do...
I was in San Francisco for a seminar when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. The day after receiving the call, I remember riding across the Golden Gate Bridge on the bus back to the airport. I was still in shock, and felt like one might after a major breakup, or someone’s unexpected death – splayed, raw, hoping no one notices my exposed innards. I was sitting on the left side of the bus and staring out at the water when I had what I’ll call a vision (because it was not intentional like...
Status quo can only last so long. I was reminded of that this week as various aspects of my life simultaneously imploded, forcing me to make decisions between bad and worse and resulting in a massive upheaval of my current life, both personally and logistically. I looked up the word “upheaval” in the dictionary. It means a sudden, violent disruption or upset. Yes, yes indeed, that definitely describes the week I’ve had. I spent much of it crumbling spontaneously into a teary mess, and none of it doing anything noticeably productive or useful, like...
Today has been one of those ever-so-familiar days in which my ex-husband has chosen to go on an email rampage, attacking my character, threatening me and assuring me that my four-year-old daughter will know what a horrible person I am someday. In other words, it’s been one of those days when I need to dig in and remind myself that it doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing with their energy or vibration, it only matters what I’m doing. If you want to be healthy, you need to be selfish. You need to put...
A few nights ago I was having dinner with my very wise friend Kiela. During the meal I was telling her about a heated disagreement I had with a friend, let’s call her Melissa. I was telling her the story, and when it came time to quote myself, I raised my voice, sped up my words, scrunched my face in anger and jutted my head forward to mimic the fast-paced and furious tone I had used with Melissa when we were arguing. Kiela listened quietly, and when I was finished, she said, “How do...
I never told anyone about my big toe. I don’t mean the nail, or the padded bottom, but right at the tip – the part that sometimes stubs itself on a wall, that part. Sometimes it feels like a thin needle is pricking that part, entering the skin, and that the needle is maybe hooked up to some electrical device that is sending a tiny shock through. It’ll happen a bunch of times inside of a minute, and then it’ll go away, but what remains is a strange awareness of the tip of my...
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,...
I was born on April 24th. Apparently that makes me a shoe-in for MS. In today’s UK Telegraph online, it read “Scientists found mothers who were pregnant during the autumn and winter were most likely to give birth to those who would suffer from the debilitating neurological disease.” Awesome! The Scotland-based study, published in the European Journal of Neurology, suggests that “the spike in cases among children born in the spring may be due to a shortage of vitamin D because during a vital developmental stage their mothers are exposed to less sunshine. “Vitamin...
Yesterday I had an appointment with my neurologist, who I’ll refer to from here forward as Dr. N. This was my second appointment with him. My first was a month earlier, when I explained that I had been treating my MS with diet and supplements alone, and LDN beginning in March of 2009, and hadn’t been to a neurologist in a year and a half because I found my last one to be a condescending jerk. I had explained that I wasn’t coming to him with the intention of beginning a drug regimen, but...
