Well… hello again!

After regularly blogging about my multiple sclerosis life since diagnosis in 2013, I stepped away for more than 8 months. If I’m being honest, I wasn’t sure when—or even if—I would return to blogging. Life has a funny way of filling up our calendars, shifting our priorities, and convincing us that we’ll “get back to it next week.”

As it turns out, next week took a little longer than expected. But here we are!

Coming back feels a bit like opening a favorite book you’ve been meaning to finish. Everything feels familiar, yet somehow brand new. There’s excitement, a touch of nervousness, and a whole lot of ideas waiting to spill onto the page.

During my time away, life didn’t stop. I learned new things, picked up different perspectives, celebrated wins, stumbled through challenges, and collected stories worth sharing. Sometimes stepping away gives us exactly what we need: fresh experiences that make us better storytellers.

So why return now?

Because I missed it.

This time around you can expect a little bit of everything — stories from everyday life, lessons learned, things that inspire me, practical tips, occasional adventures, and probably a few unexpected rabbit holes. If something catches my attention or sparks my curiosity, chances are it’ll find its way into a blog post.

Think of this as a fresh chapter rather than a restart. The past posts helped me get here, and the next ones will continue the journey.

This site is entirely human-created and it always will be. If you’re sick and tired of reading AI junk – I know that I am! – I urge you to support a human writer and fellow MSer who maintains a blog like this by visiting frequently, sharing links to posts, adding your comments at the end of the posts you have something to say about, and, when deserved, sending a donation to help me cover the costs. This is currently an ad-free, subscription-free blog and I’d like to keep it that way. But your participation is what motivates me to keep writing.

Let’s make this chapter a fun one. I already have some great content for next week’s blog. Every Thursday… be ready for a great new read.

And if you haven’t seen the great new, I have just published a book. Check it out on Amazon- “The Wobbly Bunch: Funny Takes on Living with Multiple Sclerosis”. I’m sure you will enjoy it. There’s nothing better than laughing, especially when you most need it.
