My daughter has been on winter break and home from school for the last two weeks. As a single mom with no family around, these sorts of child-rearing marathons can be very taxing. It’s like, I love you and all, honey, but pleeeeasssse stop talking. Also, I wasn’t feeling well for most of the last week. Maybe it was the mild stomach virus I had, maybe it was a detox from how clean I’ve been eating, I don’t know. But what I do know is that I’ve felt this week like life was more...
What if when your neurologist diagnosed you with MS, he handed you a book? The book contained 100 detailed profiles of MS patients who were unique, who defied the status quo, who believed deeply and fervently that they could get well, explored various healing modalities (many of them outside Western medicine’s approved treatments for MS), and have experienced remarkable results. What if this book of wisdom were required reading, handed to every single MS patient upon diagnosis? How would you feel when you went home that night and curled up with this book? How...
What would you do if you were 29 and found you only had a few years to live? Stephen Heywood was forced to ask himself this question when he was diagnosed with the nerve disease ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Yesterday I watched his heartbreaking but inspiring story in the documentary film So Much So Fast by Steven Ascher and Jeanne Jordan. When the movie ended I shut off the TV and continued on with my day, but this was one of those films that stays with you, unfolding its depth with each hour that...
Recently I’ve received several comments that suggest that what I’m encouraging with this blog is “thinking positive” and that doing so will keep you asymptomatic. I’ve also been told that if I were more disabled than I am, my attitude would be different. People have said things to me like “Well I’ve been thinking positive for years and now I can’t walk!” So I need to clarify. First, I very rarely (if ever) use the term “thinking positive.” When I hear the term “thinking positive” I see pictures of people smiling like plastic dolls...
What were the stories that your parents and family told about you when you were young? What’s the very first story you can remember? Now, how did those stories make you feel about who you were in the world and what your life was about? Your Personal Mythology Everyone has a story about their life. It was informed when you were young by your family, and as you grew, you continued to create this story for yourself based on the experiences you had in the world. This story or stories (let’s call it your...
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...
