    Shows up in unexpected ways with MS. Not just for health, but for versions of life that quietly slipped away. Dreams change, timelines shift, and letting go happens in layers.

  • I’ll keep an eye on this

    (And ask Dr. Karen about it). Telebrutinin is an investigational, once-daily oral brain penetrant BTK inhibitor designed to target smoldering neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis.

    Will attract things for you to complain about. Repeated gratitude will attract things for you to be thankful for.

  • The most powerful weapon against stress

  • When you realize

    That each day is not one more day, it’s one less, you will start giving more value to the things that truly matter.

  • When life gets hard, focus on fitness.

    Lift weights, walk outside,ride a bike. Practice gratitude. Fitness gives you something to focus on other than your problems. Exercise and gratitude are as much a part of your mental health as they are your physical health.

  • After every storm, the sky clears.

    Life has taught me that I’m not always in control. Life is full of experiences, lessons, heartbreak and pain. But it also brings love, beauty, new possibilities and new beginnings. Embrace it all. It shapes who we become.

  • My wish for you today

    I hope that every time life makes you feel like giving up, You find enough strength inside to say: Not today.
