There was a time not too long ago when I felt there was no or very little direction for my life__ no purpose to my life__no reason to get out of bed in the morning__ and seemingly nothing could change that. Back then I remember thinking oh how I wish things could be different. How I wished I could put the years of education and experiences, which I had accumulated over my lifetime to good use.
You know what they say...be careful what you wish for, smile. I have become overwhelmed by the amount of time I have to invest daily (8 to 12 hours) working to promote and market my self-help memoir. But, more importantly is the time and effort I put in to ministering to others struggling with what can become a bleak and depressing situation similar to that which I once experienced. Helping others learn to live and deal more positively with the hardships and stress put on one's relationships as a result of life being interrupted by chronic illness or disability has truly become my purpose. A purpose with which I have been blessed. I never dreamed that I would have the strength and abilities to make a difference in the lives of others. Yet, that is what I'm doing every day and I love it.
You will never hear me complain__, never say, it's not my job__ or that there is not enough time in the day__and the biggie, the complaint of all workplace complaints, I'm not paid enough. No there's a whole new perspective on life these days. There is a driving force behind my being. I have a purpose and the reward is great. Over the past several months, especially during the last month I have been reaching out to others utilizing the Internet and yes, even the old-fashioned radio. It's my goal to let individuals with multiple sclerosis or any chronic illness for that matter, know that life can be and still is great. I know... remember from whom you are hearing this message. If you've read my self-help memoir, Life Interrupted, It's Not All About Me www.likeinterrupted-nolonger.com then you know about my depression and downward spiral that was a result of my "poor me attitude" and the stress introduced to my relationship as a result of life being interrupted by multiple sclerosis.
I've been so busy and there is a purpose and lust for life every day. Have faith. Don't give up and God will make a way. Here are a few of my Media Interviews from September and October 2009:
