    Treason No one needs a dictionary to tell them that Treason is” the crime of betraying one's country, esp. by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.” [https://www.google.com/search?q=treason&rlz=1C1KMZB_enUS525US525&oq=treason&aqs=chrome..69i57j5j0l2.1342j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8]   So what more can be said? Quite a bit if you look beyond the surface of any story (fact or fiction) involving Treason. In the history of the USA only 13 people have been convicted of treason. Some were hanged, some served prison sentences and a few were pardoned. Each has a story that fascinates.  One of the most famous treasonous stories in the US is about the Rosenbergs. Oddly enough they were not charged with or convicted of treason but were convicted on charges of conspiracy to commit espionage. They were executed on June 19, 1953. Nonetheless controversy still surrounds the case. You can read more about the Rosenb...

As my sister battles with Multiple Sclerosis I decided to read up on treatments, therapies and basically what other people thought about it. What an eye opener. The labels people put on others just amaze me. MS effects the whole body. It doesn't discriminate against anything so the mind is effected also. The one thing that my sister hates the most is how it effected her memory. Leaving her in what she calls a brain fog. That's where the human ignorance amazed me. I actually found statements from individuals on chat forums stating that once it effected the minds of the patient they should just stay home so they didn't get lost or forget what they were doing when they went out. That about says it all. MS doesn't mean that their stupid, or slow. So my words to everyone is don't judge. You cannot tell me you've never walked into another room and stopped, wondering why you went there. Or searched the house looking for your keys to find them in your pocket. ...

As a writer I research a lot of events, places and different life styles for my stories. But when my sister was diagnosed with MS my research took on a whole new meaning. I searched the web for anything that would make her life easier. New therapies, drug trials, life aids that would make tasks simpler but nothing prepared me for the day I realized I couldn't buy something to make this go away. MS is a life long disease. It effects the person diagnosed and their family. My sister was diagnosed in 2006. She has always been a very strong and independent person, and still is, just with a few modifications.  We realized a few months ago that it was getting harder for her to stay on her own. Her leg was getting weaker and the effects on her arm made simple tasks like getting dressed more difficult by the day. We made a family decision, and my sister made a difficult journey from being on her own to living with me. I know how hard that was for her and I admire her for what she go...

                                                                                              Mental shut down When you have MS your mental capacity is limited on some days. Weather it be from medication or the effect of the disease on the brain itself you just feel like your brain shuts down. This is also what writers call a mental block. Finishing up a simple scene seems impossible. You get to a point in your writing where the flow stops, your brain shuts down and you just sit there and stare at the blank screan in front o...

MS Monday was a little late this week because of a balance issue. So this will be MS awareness on how to balance on your feet and in your life. Our world is a balancing act. Some of us are great at it and some just wing it as things happen. But we all agree that the smallest thing can throw us off. When you have MS it really doesn't take much to throw you off kilter. Just a muscle spasm can send your whole day crashing down around you. My sister is struggling with her balance right now and we decided to think ahead. Be ready for anything that life can throw at her. She owns a couple of canes, and depends on them for support. We purchased a walker for days when a cane just won't work, but there are days in between the two. Ones where a cane is not enough, yet a walker is too much so we went to an orthopedic store and went shopping. I know, women do love to shop but this was not the store either one of us planned on ever having to venture into. We tried on ...

Multiple Sclerosis has changed more than just my sisters life, it has altered mine also. She was diagnosed in 2006 and I never realized the impact it made on her everyday life until about a year ago. She went into a crisis and ended up in the hospital. Once she was released from the hospital she was left with some devastating changes that ended her ability to be independent. She had to depend on her husband for simple tasks at first. Carrying laundry downstairs, cleaning the shower and simple household chores that she was not able to do anymore. Over time her ability to get up the stairs without assistance ended, but the real turning point for her was when she was not able to open a jar of peanut butter. Her hand would not grip anymore and she threw the jar across the room. Yah, that's just how she felt, and so did I. We take the simplest things for granted until that ability is taken from us. I felt helpless and she did also. With all the changes she was going through,...
