The Power of Gratitude

The Power of Gratitude

Happy 2nd Birthday to Pain Sufferers Speak!!










2 years ago today, PSS was started as a facebook group. We evolved into a global community with 3 blogs, 4 support groups (family support group on facebook, LinkedIn Networking Group, Google+ Group, and Empire Avenue shareholders group), and so much more! Safe havens for everyone to share, vent, scream, laugh and giggle together through the hardest stuff life can throw at us--chronic pain and chronic illness. So thrilled to have met all of you and have you in my daily life! What started out as therapy for me so I could fight depression has become a lifeline for everyone involved! Looking forward to finishing my first book and being able to hug many of you in person on the book tour. More details and dates to follow as soon as I have them. Wishing each of you a painfree day if possible! If not painfree, at least we can get through the day together with understanding and unconditional love!

Alzheimer's Disease Statistics | Alzheimer's Reading Room

Alzheimer's Disease Statistics | Alzheimer's Reading Room

Spreading awareness for Alzheimer's Disease! Unfortunately, I know all too well how much of a ruthless thief this disease can be from my personal experience on my Mom's side of the family. Her father was the oldest of 10 children and he died in 1989 after being taken away from all of us one precious memory at a time. Systematically the rest of his 9 siblings all were diagnosed with Alzheimer's! We just lost his youngest sister in May. Thankfully, my Mom and her 4 siblings have not showed any signs and we hope and pray that they remain symptom free forever.

Remember: Advocacy is FREE and easy! Just spread the word on all your social networks! Thank you and God Bless you!

Alice's Bucket List

I'm 16 and I have terminal cancer. I've created a bucket list because there are so many things I still want to do in my life ... some are possible, some will remain a dream. My blog is to document this precious time with my family and friends, doing the things I want to do. You only have one life ... live it!
________________________________________________
I am always spreading the word about how easy it is to be an advocate for worthy causes. Its a simple tweet that will bring Alice that much closer to crossing an item off her bucket list. Just copy and paste the following tweet on Twitter:
