I need to thank you all who left me comments and wrote me emails, after my last blog post, regarding my ongoing battle/ass kicking with Multiple Sclerosis. It meant so much to me and I hope you know how much your kind words have kept me going this past week.
I felt the need to share what I am living with and going through, not for sympathy, but because it is just easier to put it out there. It’s not who I am, but it is part of my life. It is not beautiful, but it is real. It’s life and we all have our obstacles to deal with/overcome/face head on. I also think it will make you all understand me better and let me be a little bit more “me” on the blog (bad humor, making fun of myself, etc…).
I am hoping to be back to regular blogging very soon, but first I have to deal with this disease head on. I had a long and intense neurologist visit on Thursday and I have a long road and some new things to introduce into my life, but more on that later.
Let’s do something fun, how about a GIVEAWAY, for no other reason that I can and I like giving stuff away!!!! I have a surprise gift card for the winner. I am not saying to where, that is part of the surprise!!! I am almost positive you will like it and well if you do not, then oh well:) Here is what you need to do:

I’m proud of myself for finally letting myself do what I’m supposed to be doing…teaching.

oh and I will take you up on the pilates offer – maybe after my yoga session ends? Or before – whatevs!
YAY! I love giveaways! I’d have to say I’m proud of the imrovements I’ve made in balancing my life. School, work, sleep, exercise, blogging, FUN…it can be a bit overwhelming, but I’ve gotten very good at it!
I am proud of myself for running my first ever 10k and placing! I hung the award right in the middle of the living room to remind me of what I am capable of.
I’m proud of myself for venturing out into the world and making friends. I just moved, and spent several months sitting in my house wondering how people make friends in the real world. Turns out you just have to go outside and talk to people

I’m proud of myself for continuing to try new foods! Yesterday I made brussel sprouts for the first time and loved them!
so sorry you aren’t feeling so great – but honestly, you need to do whatever you have to do to take care of yourself. I found that out the hard way.
I’m proud of myself for making it through the 2nd round of IVIG treatment =)
Truer words have never been spoken.
I am SUPER proud of you for making it through IVIG: not pretty, not fun, not pleasent and so many other things. Sending goodness you way!!!
I’m sorry about your medical condition. In fact, I know how you feel. The thing I was going to write about being proud of is the fact that even when my Grave’s Disease makes me tired, to the point where I don’t feel like doing anything, I try my best to overcome it and get in some physical activity. It can be hard to keep motivated, but that’s what we’ve got each other for, right?!
I am proud of me for overcoming an eating disorder and continuing to get better at balance in my life.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Got your package today! Thanks so much girl!
I am proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and joining a school to get my health counselor certification.
Sooo happy to hear it made it to NY:)

What am I proud of about myself? Boy, this is always a tough one with wavering self esteem issues. I’m proud that I have two great loving children despite the issues I’ve been having at home. They are my life <3
I tweeted you too! Good luck everyone!
I am proud of myself for taking a leap and moving to a different city for my first job. Sure its still in my same state, but I am finally on my own and becoming a responsible adult!

I am proud of myself for continually trying to fine tune my life in a way that prioritizes what really matters…
And you do a hell of a job at it, you are a Sparkle to the world:) ha!!!
Oh! I have just come over from Mama Pea’s blog and, wow! I am so glad I did
I think what I am most proud of is the 80 lbs weight loss I’ve achieved in the past year. I still have a ways to go, but I at least know I can do it!
Looking forward to reading through your past posts! ~Cee~
I am proud that I declined my offer to work as a lawyer with a big law firm because it’s not my dream! It was super scary and I felt crazy, but I am proud I didn’t just go with the flow because it was what I was supposed to do.
