... and so much more!

this was beautiful! I've learned so much! I have a friend that was diagnosed with MS years ago and she created an MS walk in Mississippi. She's doing fine and just got married. She's 43. I, too, deal with a (non-deadly chronic illness) and it's only been a year! I'm finally allowing myself to just LIVE! I understand your neck and back pain as well (8 car wrecks total). Especially during stressful times, so I've taken up more yoga and stretching (it's tough) I will be praying for the both of you ladies! One thing about it, suffering is difficult and regardless of the reason, you realize you aren't alone. You're both beautiful 🙏❤️ This is my 21st (last) day of fasting and I'll be happy to use it praying for you two!
