Dan and I will celebrate 12 years of wedded bliss on September 10. We are very happy and live a pretty full and complete life.

Our online radio show: A Couple Takes on MS
What an opportunity Dan and I have been given. Not only are we living with Multiple Sclerosis — that’s how we found each other — but MS & Me Radio Network has found us and wants other people to hear more of our stories. And what’s really cool is the network wants to hear from…… Continue Reading
Yes I should
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: “I should…” Perhaps you’ve said it yourself. You know, things like, “I should lose some weight.” “I should watch my diet.” “I should exercise more.” Honestly, does any of that sound familiar? I wonder if I inadvertently am sending a negative daily message that I’m not good…… Continue Reading
A tough way to almost get to The Big Easy
To say Dan and I were looking forward to our trip to New Orleans to serve as the NMSS Louisiana Chapter’s On the Move Luncheon keynote speakers would be putting it mildly.

MS resilience in and beyond the Super Bowl
My dad always has told me that, “If you want to hoot with the owls at night, you better be able to soar with the eagles at dawn.” And after a late night hooting for the New England Patriots stunning comeback win in Super Bowl LI, I am trying to soar this morning. Slowly, I…… Continue Reading
It’s just a cold, right?
It’s 40 degrees and raining on Monday. Then you wake up to sunshine and a crisp 18 degrees on Tuesday … just in time for 32 degrees and six inches of snow by the weekend. No wonder sniffles, sneezes and tissues take over our lives throughout the winter months. We’ve all been there, right? But…… Continue Reading
