I really needed today's walk in spring weather to see the daffodils. Nothing like nature to lose yourself away from the maddening crowd of government madness. #mentalwellness

By 9 am I was done with reading the day's news. Trying to stay abreast while monitoring anxiety levels has never been trickier. It's time to focus on my beautiful cats #mentalwellness

I'm feeling broken this year so I've been sharing pics of my cats. But if MS taught me anything it's how to be resilient, speak the truth, and fight for a world of good health, fairness, inclusion, and accessibility. #multiplesclerosis

It's #Caturday and I feel lighter when cats are nearby. And dogs. Ok, any animal. Because animals are better than people.

My ginger, Max, understood how important it was to support someone living with multiple sclerosis. He was a smart, sweet, and loving pussycat. #cats

You never know who's coming to visit from the outside world. Friend? Foe? Colleague? Turkey travelers?
It's a #cats world that we happen to live in.

The life of a cat is a study in perfection. If only humans could follow their lead. #cats

We could learn a lot from cats. Unconditional love, forgiveness, kindness, tolerance, and pure joy. They are magical. #cats

Cats have magical powers like all pets. It's called unconditional love. And furry cuddles. #cats

For the sake of my mental health I'm posting cat photos for the third day. Animals are perfect, full of unconditional love, and help you believe there's still goodness in the world. #cats

Fear. Anxiety. Disappointment. Dread. All invisible, all real. So I'm learning how to meditate, listening to great TED Talks & an old fave Wayne Dyer, walking in nature, knitting, reading, writing, & leaning into loved ones. How about you? PLEASE take care of yourself. #multiplesclerosis #selfcare

I'm choosing to focus on watching & spending time outdoors, feeling at one with nature, NOW MORE than ever. I know I need this to hold on tight. It positively impacts physical & mental health, reduces stress (it's TRUE!) and when I birdwatch I replace anxiety with awe and wonder. #multiplesclerosis

I got an email for a drug company doing a study for MS patients between 18-60, another for an initiative for ppl between 21-50.

I know companies have scientific & other parameters but this is frustrating.

Include ALL ages in opportunities to improve the lives of MS patients. #multiplesclerosis

January is the beginning of my 39th year since my #multiplesclerosis diagnosis. That's a long time to live with loss, pain, resilience, life lessons, and HOPE. Always HOPE.

I need to be here. For peace of mind. For sanity. For community. For a shoulder to cry on, or offer mine to others. We can do hard things together. Or try. #community

Hello, 2025! I'm caffeinated & ready to go. There's so much to do & create. And tons to learn, read, write, & speak out for myself and others.
Let's do this, & make our world a kinder, more inclusive, less violent, & a more equitable place to live.

Happy New Year, everyone!

This is MS. Thirty-eight long years of adjusting my sails. I hope there's a cure for the next generation. #multiplesclerosis

How Yoga Helped My MS yoga helped me with my MS

I wrote this for Better After 50. Although I can no longer practice intermediate yoga, gentle yoga is now a perfect fit for me. Beyond the benefits of yoga it reminds me that I'm taking care of myself and despite MS progression I can celebrate this accomplishment! #multiplesclerosis

As women we must speak up for what we need. I grew up when little girls were taught to be quiet. No more! Now I'm my best health advocate. Are YOU? #multiplesclerosis
