Why do I say what I do? Why say anything at all? Because I care. Because I want to uplift and be a light in this dark world. Because I want to help someone in their life. Because when you know something it’s most helpful to share it. Because I think a lot and answers come […]
I love Nike’s logo to “Just do it.” In my mind I can hear a person I greatly revere saying, “Dare to stand for what’s right even if standing alone.” A song encourages me with these words “Do what is right.” A ring’s motif says “Choose the right.” Other people’s statements encourage me (“People of […]

Miracles happen all around us! Sometimes things work out perfectly and are too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence, you know?! (Besides, I don’t believe in coincidences because everything happens for a reason.) Perhaps seeing miracles is a matter of perspective. Maybe crappy things looked at in a different way are exactly what […]
Everyone has a “handicap” (handicap, weakness, addiction) and no one is exempt. My main handicap is physical (MS), but people could also have mental, emotional, social, or spiritual handicaps or a combination of any or each.

Before getting sick (MS) I did things so fast and without thinking that I thought changing anything would affect too much (plus, I was too busy to change anything in my life.) Surely I wanted some things in my life to change but I wanted them to change while I stayed the same because I […]
These days, if a person’s opinion is not agreed with they smear the person; they get called names, all kinds of dirt about the past is dug up to discredit, and basically an attempt is made to ruin. There’s no kindness, mercy, or respect for a different opinion. If they don’t like it they won’t […]
Appearance of Perfection Before getting sick with MS I wanted everything of mine to appear perfect including my looks, words, actions, family, work, and home. Everything in my world needed to seem better than average. Some of my things truly were above average but most were regular. The reality of most of my things were […]
BELIEVE IN THE THING – Not just wish or hope but have 100% faith that it will be. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF – Believe in your strength. Believe in your ability. Believe in your goodness. GIVE ALL – Do your very best. Do everything possible. Do all you can do. “Do your best plus a little […]
