It’s often said that you find what you’re looking for when you stop looking for it.  The obvious root behind wanting to search for what you want is a sense of control. Behind that gentle loss of control is where what you seek finds you. Today’s post I’m discussing how I stumbled upon a new-found passion without looking for it, yet somehow found it’s way to me! 3 Month Hiatus I really took a break from social media after my hilarious fall on my tailbone (painful, actually) from Fort Worth’s Spooky Run. Most of my time was spent staying home and nursing my bum. Life stressors threw curve ..read more

There’s never a worse time to switch up your medicine on a whim than when your medicine is actually working as it’s supposed to. Call me crazy, but I’m feeling like switching up my DMT to something that requires a little less effort on my part. (Or so I let myself belief!) As we all know, I’ve been taking Glatopa for the last two years, and while taking injections isn’t my favorite part about at-home health, they have done me such a great service keeping me relapse-free and symptoms under control. What’s the problem then, you might ask? There’s something called “injection fatigue” that I put ..read more

We all know the skating with a chronic illness is not a popular pair. It’s uncommon to place skating and Multiple Sclerosis in the same sentence. The current state of my health inspired me to go against the grain and take up space in both of communities. I wanted to 1, be chronically ill and advocate for it’s awareness, and 2, be that badass spoonie who teaches themselves how to skate! However! With enjoying the freedom of roller skating and living my best life comes a few consequences that I most definitely want to share with you!   How Skating With Multiple Sclerosis Works For Me When ..read more

Raise your hand if you’re tired of COVID and ready to go outside and smell the fresh air without a mask. I surely am. Being in the house and wearing masks out in public sounded fun at first, but it’s become a bad dream that lasted a little too long. Although most of the social spaces and events have been cancelled due to the pandemic, I have found other ways to keep being positive and remain in control of how I feel about myself, social distancing and remaining healthy during a health crisis with Multiple Sclerosis. During quarantine, I initially felt isolated from the entire world, no thanks ..read more

There comes a time when we hustle hard to stay afloat and miss the minuscule red flags that sooner-than-later become blatant red flags. Have you ever gotten yourself into a situation that looked and sounded great in the beginning, and then the longer you stay you realise that it’s actually a side gig from hell? Let’s dive in. How It Started… Like many of us during COVID, I’ve been in and out of money, making ends meet on a prayer. The hustle began to kick in when I accepted that my unemployment wasn’t kicking in and that I had bills that weren’t going to wait on me. So, right on time, was a ..read more

Howdy! How’s it hanging’? I literally feel like I’ve been running around with my head cut off. HOWEVER, I’ve got some random good news! And wheel scary license story about my journey to get my real estate license. Let’s start with the good news. But, first, a little context so that it all makes sense.     Everything Happens For A Reason So the past few weeks, more like months, I have been really reevaluating my life moves. I’ve been studying really hard to pass my real estate exams and make a career change I’m proud of, and within three short months, I finally passed my exams and am ..read more

It’s been a long-time coming, but you’ve asked and I’m finally going to bring it to you! I know you’ve seen/heard about the latest roller skate game changer: the Grindstone Heartstopper Toe Stops! Take a look at what I think about these got-to-have babes! My Introduction To Grindstone I remember when @Grindstone first followed me about a year ago, with a couple hundred followers and a couple of BTS posts about a skate creation project she was working on. As time went on, I continued to see promotional posts about Grindstone and the finished product – screw-on toe stops in the shape of a heart ..read more

Ok, let’s get real here. Living the unemployment (UI) life has been great following the expiration of my employment due to COVID-19. UI has been a blessing in this moment, as this has been an odd liminal time to figure out what I want to do with my life moving forward. However, after having my first meeting with Janeé’s associates I felt right at home and inspired to make a career change. It only took me one 30-minute drive, two hookahs and three trays of hummus to agree to commit to real estate school. My dad has been begging me to get my license (and move back home with him) so th ..read more

Let’s be honest, I have the biggest sweet tooth for candies, gummies, and all things sugary. I never turn down candy, especially if it has CBD in it! Envy CBD read my mind and sent me their CBD gummies (non-sour) to try! Check out why I love them, below! What’s The Deal? As usual, these gummies were delivered in their white Envy CBD packaging. The label was color-coded to identify the product and the dosage says 200mg. Inside, there are 20 gummies at 10mg each that can aid in healing pain, inflammation, stomach issues and mental health. The flavored chews are arranged in an assortment of flav ..read more

COVID-19 set some of us back in more ways than one. Myself included. After I was laid off of my job, I didn’t know how I was going to get my medication without insurance. Nonetheless, after I reached out to Novartis Pharmaceuticals I realized it was possible, AND I wasn’t alone. I took a medication once before that introduced me to Novartis. To my surprise, I am taking a medication sponsored by them already. At the time, I had health insurance so these programs were the last thought. Ironically, during the lay-off season, I turned to Novartis, who in turn, granted me free medicine for a year ..read more
