“Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.” ~ Isaac Asimov
I am a 47 year old woman who has been on an MS guided journey since February 2011. I woke up one morning recently, bursting with ideas only to be squelched by needing to go to work. A quote that I saw only days before came to mind; “Don’t ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.” -Howard Thurman? I am not ready to quit my day job, but writing has made me come alive. I want to share my experience in hopes of perhaps giving others diagnosed with MS new perspective and empowerment.
please share your experiences with Dr. Wahl’s diet…i’m thinking of doing it myself!
I definitely will soon Stacey. I just started to blog this week. Google TEDxIowaCity – Dr. Terry Wahls – Minding Your Mitochondria and watch her lecture. More later, but I will say it was life changing.
I found this video very interesting as well. I am curious where it takes you. I had adapted my diet somewhat to Dr. Wahls. I have some issues with eating meat from an political and emotional standpoint so I am very keen to know what is the outcome for others.
Since we have both just started our blogging journey and sharing our prespective, I want to wish you will with your blog-alog:) Jen
Thanks so much. I think there must be a way to be vegetarian and still adapt some of Dr. Wahl’s diet. I know personally organ meats are not something I can easily accept, but maybe there are supplements that can be taken and just the grain free part is supposedly a huge help in fighting inflammatory conditions. Best wishes to you!

I love your idea of an ‘MS guided journey’. It can bring so many gifts, can’t it :s
* How do you find working at the PC? does it tire you out? Like you really get into working on something – sparking with energy for it – then suddenly have to stop and fall over.
I generally write on my iPad while lying on the couch with Pandora radio playing through my earbuds! I tend towards the Balmorhea channel. It’s lovely. The problem is finding the time to myself to do it.
I did try that, but my arms / neck ached too much. Good for quick bits tho’. And yes, blogging does require concentration, doesn’t it.
* How do you get your picture frame? It looks really good on my blog.
I am not sure what you mean…
I would like to know more about Balmorhea…what is that?
I will look into the diet, hope your trip goes well, prayers and huge squishy hugs your way! Thank you for shining a light in my path!

I was diagnosed Feb 2011 too, I’ll follow your blog with interest, thanks for stopping by mine.
Happy Anniversary! Thanks for following me. I have a new post in the works but I’m trying to get it to a hopeful perspective and may have to wait till the steroid side effects wear off…
Has it also taken you the full year to process? Thanks for visiting. I’ve not posted new in a while but hope to find time this weekend.
Yes it’s taken me a year to wrap my head around it – there are still days when I wonder if I ever will!
