Back in 1992 I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a few years after the sudden death of both my parents, and of course the initial shock gave me a sense of loss, and complete emptiness. It all seemed far too much to deal with at the time, my mind spinning with confusion, I thought I'd been cursed, I could not see the logic or understand why someone so young, only eighteen could be suffering in this way.
I went through a series of tests and was eventually put on steroids, which didn't seem to do any good whatsoever. Thank God I found a homeopathic Doctor who helped changed my life for the better, special diet, positive mind and a will to live made a dramatic change to my well being.
I've made my dreams a reality, I always say You can do anything if you put your mind to it. Years ago my interest lied in banking, but since the death of my parents and the diagnosis of having MS, I believe we should all live our lives to the full, live it as if it's your last days.
I sing jazz, soul, gospel, pop and anything goes really, as long as it's got a bit of rhythm, I'm truly soaked up in the beauty of music and it's therapeutic values.
I do only what I enjoy, I tend to mingle with positive people, people who inspire me, complement me, inform me when I'm wrong, friends who assist me to move on in the journey ahead. See, I feel negative breeds negative, positive breeds positive.
Life is hard and I'm not for one moment denying that, but through the stormy days, there's always sunshine on the other side, and if you don't have stormy days, then that's amazing. But my life's experiences, good or bad, have always been a lesson for me of which I've learned from.
Living with Multiple Sclerosis has certainly not deterred me from achieving goals, if anything it has given me a zest for life, determined against all the odds to reach the hearts of many.
My final thought for you:
IF YOU CAN CONCEIVE IT,

AND BELIEVE IT,

YOU WILL ACHIEVE IT.
