This is my first official blog post! Cant believe it. Where do I begin? Oh yes, with mud…
I was diagnosed 4 years ago with Multiple Sclerosis. Since the day I heard the doctor utter those words, my life has changed. So I want this blog to be about my journey since I was diagnosed but in essence, I want it to be about the “ before and after” me since being diagnosed. The “M” and the “S” are capitalized to signify Multiple Sclerosis but the title MymudpieS is about my desire, since I was a little girl, to create. And you guessed it, the first thing I remember creating was my mud pie. This mud pie was made from wet earth, rocks, sand and the occasional insect that was unintentionally added for protein. So, its not the coffee ice cream with fudge topping type. Sorry. I took you from salivation to nausea in one sentence. I thought this would be a good blog name because there can be so many metaphors for a mud pie…layers and flavors and glorious imperfections. Creating something great out of something not-so-great.
So that’s what I’m going to blog about in my weekly posts. My life with MS, my daily creations, my funny thoughts, my sad feelings, my imperfections, my “flavor” of the day. Oh and yes, I have an editor named Amber. She rules my world from her soft bed at my feet. She’s my trusty border collie and my bestie.
Thanks for finding me on the big World Wide Web! Next post…MS sucks!
