"It works in the beginning, but [breaks down] quickly and unpredictably.… The Loss of Identity From Chronic Illness is a Form of Trauma."
Can't do the same things, eat the same food, hang out with the same crowd … Who else can relate to this?
Chronic illness changes lives & lifestyles — but we can build back better, stronger.

It's a new year, and with that comes this societal pressure to make and follow through with a list of resolutions/goals for the upcoming year. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of each year starting off with these thoughts that I have to be better, do more and/or accomplish more than I did last year. The truth is, 2025 took a lot of strength to get through, and I'm starting off this year in burnout mode. I don't need to do more or work harder than I already am. Instead of creating lofty goals for myself, I'm choosing to slow down. To focus on listening to my own needs and creating stronger boundaries, and I think that's more than enough. What are your thoughts on New Year's resolutions?

"My mom means the world to me—she’s the most caring and positive person I know—and I’ll keep doing everything I can to support her and others living with MS!"
"In Bloomington, [Indiana], BuffaLouie’s is featuring the “Mendoza Bros. Burger” and Gable’s Bagels is serving the “Mendoza Bros. Cubano” bagel sandwich. Proceeds from both menu items will go directly to [MS funding]."
Fernando and the Indiana University Hoosiers are competing for the college football national championship.

"Creating pieces of wood art is both a mental and physical exercise," says Richard Unis of San Diego. "I’m doing what I can to prevent progression through physical activity.
"Each board I create is a journey and a meditation. Each piece tells a story. ... it is this personal connection and interpretation that makes the creative process so rewarding.

In my social feeds, muscling for space with the bad, depressing headlines, you're gonna find tons of owls! Beautiful, intriguing, majestic, funny — I can't get enough of them. And this is all new for me too… Hoo knows where it came from? But when I can't get outside due to weather, I'm scrolling for these screechers.
Now, care to share? What were your 2025 sources for laughs, lightheartedness, wonder, joy?

2025 Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza just became the first player from Indiana Univ. to win the award and he's using his platform to change lives. He and his brother Alberto (who backs up Fernando at QB) are spotlighting their nonprofit Mendoza Brothers' Fight Against MS, which they set up to honor their mom, Elsa, who lives with MS. It's not every day you win the award for college football player of the year, so Fernando is using his time to roll his excitement into support for the MS Society, providing info, services and research for people and families affected by #MultipleSclerosis . #MultipleSclerosis #MightyTogether #newlydiagnosed #Disability #Caregiving #autoimmune
