You are an inspiration, Lori. I believe that WE CAN rewire our brains. Thanks to Josh, I found you. I don’t have MS, I am my mom with Dementia’s care giver; I use the same principles with my aging mom and she appears to be getting better.

Have you heard of Dr. Perlmutter, the Renegade Neurologist?

I will now visit your blog … thanks to Josh, the World’s Strongest Librarian!

[...] Ms. MS connected me to my love of writing again, not just my previously employed style required for scientific publications or marketing speak about deciphering genomes, but writing about living with passion, finding peace, engaging in meaningful work, speaking up for what’s important, and cross-training one’s life.

Michele,
Thank you for support and agreement about living one day at a time. I commend you!

From your words here, it sounds like you’ve also come a long way. I hope that, over time, the pain you speak of beings to fade and what seems vivid now will pale in comparison to the new journeys of the mind you are creating. You go, girl!
~smiles right back to you~

Pete,
Such a funny story!! Holy Mattress Skydiver, Batman! Way to live loudly! And, heck yeah, playing outside is a GREAT way to cross-train! (Sorry about that broken arm; living loudly sometimes comes with a few injuries here and there, I understand that loud and clear.)

I can remember swinging from monkey bars at the play ground and doing “cherry drops” (hanging upside-down then swinging off, somehow landing on my feet…well, usually, anyway).

Thanks for adding to the conversation, I’m happy you enjoyed the post. Enjoy your weekend!

My first attempt at Parkour was at age 5 at Mattress Discounters. Actually, I didn’t know what it was, but I couldn’t help but climb up a stack of mattresses and jump off the top.

I broke my arm.

The only cross-training I was doing those days was pre-kindergarten and playing outside.

Loved the post!

Wow. What a post. What a lady!

This is very inspiring and as I read about your twenties, it reminded me of my own. Gosh, I’ve come such a long way since then but the pain is still so vivid, even now.

I commend you for living each day as it may come!

And thanks to Josh for having you over!
