    I woke up today in one of the best moods I have had in awhile. I was downright giddy. I had friends coming and a sunny day to roll outside INDEPENDENTLY with handsome sidekick Hugo, my dog. I had a friend who is creating a garden of Eden for me. My hip, beautiful, and ultra…

    In my mind lately I have had long periods of time not feeling well in my body and spirit. ALS has plateaus and valleys. There are no longer any peaks. You know, students, growing stronger physically. If you are blessed with time, you can adapt with technology, Thanks be to God. I recently went on…

    This Lent I discovered this prayer from Mother Olga of the religious order founder and servant mother of the Daughters of Mary of Nazareth. This prayer will stay on my lips until my last breath, “Empty me. Fill me. Use me.” It cleanses my heart. It fills me with the Holy Spirit. Most importantly it…

    How is your fasting going? Are you removing the negative thoughts and words? I am trying but like they say “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Good Goobly Goo, I was battling my thoughts like Super Heroes battle Super Villains. “POW! CRASH! BOOM!” I was praying left and right. I was using my Spiritual Powers.…

    I am happy to report I have been very busy. God is blessing me with more work! I have been reading your messages but I’m crazy busy. I have had many spells, day and night, of crying uncontrollably. I miss my husband so much. I miss my body before ALS. I miss feeling beautiful the…

    In my mind today, I am still exhausted from last Saturday. It was the annual Autumn March for ALS. This was the 9th year for the race and my 13th year of living with ALS. I am so, so blessed to have been given longer than the average 3-5 years. I have tried my very…

    In my mind today I am thinking about flutter pickles, fairy dust, crunch crunch berries, and all the great times I have had with my grand girls. I cannot believe another season is upon me and my older Grands are a senior and a freshman. Where are the days that were filled with such Garden…

    In my mind lately I have been searching for Hope. You know something to look forward to because I have been ghosting in my mind in the past. It has been a powerful journey fighting back from the other side of grief. Something floating in my chest nudged me. There once again, I find myself…

    In my mind, I have been thinking about regrets. We all have them. I regret that I didn’t work hard in school. I regret that I wasted time on silly, meaningless activities instead of building my character. I regret wasting time and energy being negative because owning my problems seems too hard. Face it. We…
