My World MS Day Motto is...

Image
I know it's not MS Monday but it is a special awareness day that I want to celbrate on my blog. Today is National MS day and the theme is : What’s Your Motto?     We all have mottos that we live our lives by. “What’s your motto?” aims to inspire us all with per sonal mottos related to overcoming obstacles and dealing with the adversity posed by MS. My Mottos I have, as I help my sister with her battles are: "Fighting to win one step at a time", and "I may stumble but I won't stop." I will continue to help my sister everyday with her fight to walk and I won't stop supporting this society until we find a new drug therapy that will halt the destruction the desease does, or a cure that will banish it from our lives.   Thank you for stopping by and if you want to read more about my sisters journey and my fight to aid in a cure follow my blog and read my posts every monday.   Even if you don't have MS we all have obst

What's coming next

I decided to venture outside my Suspense comfort zone and write a YA story. If I Knew Then Angel dreamed of a life of freedom. One filled with love that didn't come with a price.  She fought against the pain until he entered her life. Can he give her what she needs to let go of the past or will he leave her with a bigger challenge that will change her future?  Blurb Angel fought to keep her family safe from the evil that threatened to destroy her. She made sure she was always the one in front of her sisters when her Mother yielded her wrath. Keeping the danger that surrounded them a secret to lesser the blow she lived a lie that everyone believed, except for one. He was her only source of happiness until one day he was gone. With nothing left and no one to turn to  she must outrun her past, and overcome the secret that she fights to hide, before her Mother destroys everything she has left to hold on to.  Here is a little teaser from chapter three. It gives you a w

Happy Memorial Day

 Today I give thanks to all those who gave up their life, time and family so that we can have a safe place to call home.  As a mother of three children serving in today's military I know the sacrifices they make everyday.  So I pass this rose on to their families who also make sacrifices as they stay behind. It's hard to play both parents as they take care of the children. It's hard for parents to watch holidays and birthdays pass with an empty seat at the table, but its just a small price that families pay as our family members serve to keep us safe. I will continue with my MS Monday next week as today goes out to our fine Military men and women. So stop back again soon. Thanks Lynda

MS Mondays

Image
My blog will be dedicated to my family's fight against MS every Monday. My sister, Laura Semanisan was diagnosed in 2006 and has struggled everyday since.  This is how our family feels as we watch her struggle to walk across the living room floor with her cane. But she keep smiling and says that as long as she can walk she is having a great day. This very active girl who use to fight to get everything she needed to do, with working a full time job and working full time at her home landscaping business, done everyday now smiles if she can get across the room floor without tripping. She has just one motto. So we won't either. Stop by every Monday for a a little inspiration from my sister. She will make you rejoice about the little things in your life like doing yard work, and working in your garden.    Thing we take for granted and she wishes she could. Until next time. Lynda

Hackers beware....

We are so dependent on technology today with our smart phones, smart tablets, and just plain smart tech toys.    Its made our lives easier with mainstreaming our mail, social networks, books, everything we will ever need we carry in our hand, until someone invades our privacy and shuts us down. Hacked, what a frightful word and one that shut me down for 8 days. I woke to many distraught messages of a virus in my e-mail. I did everything I thought I was supposed to do but it was too late. It released a virus that ate through my computer, attacking all my files. I felt lost. I had no way to contact anyone because all my information was locked inside my computer. After painstakingly going through everything, then re-loading my computer software I am finally back up and running, just without a lot of my files and programs.  I researched for the best virus scan and feel I got one that will be with me 24 hours a day to stop anything from trying to attack me again. I am goin
