    Before we get into today’s topic, I thought we should start with a joke. I feel like laughing. A guy walks into a pet store and says to the owner, “I want a pet that’s really different. Something unusual.” The store owner thinks for a moment and says, “I’ve got just what you want. It’s…

  • Far Out

    Today’s blog may seem a little far out. Bear with me and I’ll try to make some sense of it all. We often hear people saying, “Why haven’t we found life in space?” The truth is, we have. It’s us. You and me. We’re life and we’re in space, so we have found life in…

    When I was young and in school, I always looked at August as a transition month. It was a reminder that summer was about to end and I’d soon be going back to school. Back then, the school year didn’t start until September, but school started appearing at the back of your mind in August.…

  • Faith as a Personal Choice

    In my previous blog, I shared how faith in God serves as a steady anchor for me while navigating the unpredictable challenges of Myasthenia Gravis (MG). Today, I want to share why faith is a deeply personal choice and how, while it’s a huge part of my journey, I believe in sharing it openly without…

    “Feelings change quickly; faith stays steady.” This statement resonates deeply for those of us with Myasthenia Gravis who must sometimes navigate the unpredictability of life. The physical and emotional challenges of MG can feel like a storm, with symptoms fluctuating from day to day, even hour to hour. In the midst of our struggles, our…

  • Thanks, Dr. Anstey

    in

    I once had a professor in college named Dr. Anstey who was considered to be one of the toughest at the university. His classes were extremely challenging and he was very intimidating. On the first day of class, he had each of the students move their desk to the edge of the room pointed inward…

  • Appreciation

    Are you taking the time to appreciate? Appreciation is such a valuable tool for someone with Myasthenia Gravis.

Sometimes I get so caught up…
