    💕All supports me, I am loved 💕 I can never 💕All supports me, I am loved 💕 I can never thank you all enough, but I can keep showing up for you as you continue to do for me, especially in this past week with my Dixie girl passing away. 💔🐶 I promise I am practicing 24/7 self care, drinking water, eating food, taking my meds, meditating and trying to move my body a bit too amongst laughing, crying, and everything in between. And while my tattoo is fake (don’t worry, mom) the mantra reads “All supports me, I am Loved”, which is the perfect reminder that clearly my intuition knew I needed far before my brain caught on 🐾❤️ Do you have an affirmation or mantra that helps you through grief and tough times? [img description: Jenna a white woman with short hair pulled back in a pink headband is grieving the loss of her beloved dog but reminding herself with a temporary tattoo on her chest that “all supports me, I am loved”. She is holding pink peonies as well]
    I needed this reminder tonight so I thought you mi I needed this reminder tonight so I thought you might too 😘 #Repost @mirrorsreflectyou with @make_repost It might feel like the world is crashing down on you and you’re tired of feeling this way but I promise there’s so much happiness in this world to still be discovered. It won’t stay like this forever and the universe is too big for you to think there isn’t anymore happiness left out there for you. Take it one step at a time and before you know it, your steps lead you towards the happiness you deserve. Keep going ❤️ #mentalhealth #selflove #wordsofwisdom #hopeful #selfcare #depressionhelp #heartbreakquotes #griefjourney #griefandloss #depressionawareness #selfcaretips #selflovejourney #mirrorsreflectyou #positivity #youdeservehappiness #findthehappy #findjoy #griefandgratitude #grateful #lookforthelight #spoonie #spoonielife #chronicillnesswarrior
    After 11.5 truly wonderful years together, my swee After 11.5 truly wonderful years together, my sweet four legged soulmate, Dixie, passed away peacefully in my arms on Sunday 🌈💔 I’ve felt sparks of gratitude amongst the intense grief this week. Felt the searing pain of profound loss with moments of peace peaking in. Felt the loving arms of my community wrapped around me like a life preserver when I needed someone to pull me up from drowning in despair. Today, I have more tears than words. One day I’ll have more gratitude than grief. ❤️🐶❤️ So many of you loved her like she was your favorite next door neighbor or even part of your family, and for that I will never be able to thank you enough. We both felt your love, especially this past week so I wanted to share a few of the best moments from her last “best days”. The messages, comments, love and prayers mean more to me then you’ll ever know. ❤️ If I have to have MS to know all of you, well, then I think I’ve actually gotten a much better ‘deal’ then I originally realized.
    I knew from the moment I saw her photo on the anim I knew from the moment I saw her photo on the animal rescue site, I knew Dixie was my four legged soulmate 🐾❤️ She’s been by my side for every happy day and every heartache for most of my adult life. Career changes, health issues, surgery recoveries, major moves, she’s been part of every major life decision I’ve ever made, including my marriage and my recent divorce. She’s been my main confidant, awesome foster dog sister for 11 other dogs, super snuggle buddy, and the best source of joy and love through it all. She’s proof that angels do exist and that there is always good to be found ❤️ I have no doubt, that if she could, she would stay physically by my side forever. But in the last week it’s become heartbreakingly clear that that wouldn’t be fair to her at all 😭😭😭 I have no words to describe my sadness or my gratitude for her right now. I am only focusing on giving her the few best last days because she has always been the very best baby. I have no idea what life will be like after she physically leaves this world on Sunday. But I have no doubt that she will be with me forever. Thank you in advance for your love, prayers, light, compassion, grace and understanding during this time. 💔

    What’s your win this week?! Big or small, I thi What’s your win this week?! Big or small, I think that it’s critical for our mental health that we celebrate our wins 🎉 My win this week was actually pretty big (for me)... I realized that the the work I’ve been doing with @doctor.gretchen has really paid off!! Am I lifting heavy weights? Running 5ks? Hell no 😂 But with the small and targeted movements, I’ve been able to lift Dixie (when needed) without hurting my back. 🐶And I’ve had MUCH better balance despite having my #Dystonia injections this week (essentially my feet curl up and the injections help to lessen that movement).🤌🏻🦶🏻 So yeah, I am proud of myself and my hard work. Did these exercises cure my #disability, muscle spasms or reduce my pain? Nope. But they did help me enjoy my life more. ⭐️ And that is one hell of a win in my book (also totally not sponsored, just sharing my personal awesome experience with @doctor.gretchen ). Can’t wait to hear your win too 🎉 [img description: Jenna, a with woman with Ms, is standing outside in front of greenery and smiling. She has her arm raised to show her “bicep” and is wearing a grey tank top she designed that reads: Advocate Because...

    Some days I look like this first pic.💋 On toug Some days I look like this first pic.💋 On tough days, like injection day for my Dystonia on Tuesday I look like the second pic. And most days I’m somewhere in between 🤷🏻‍♀️ MS and chronic illness are unpredictable, but I’ve leaned to try to stop beating myself up for not doing “enough” when I know I am doing the BEST I can on any given day ⭐️ Do you have more things you wish you could/should do today? But did you do the best you could today?! Well, then I think you deserve some grace. And a gold star ⭐️

    It’s been a hell of a week, but I am super happy It’s been a hell of a week, but I am super happy to report that Dixie girl is on the mend from her back injury 🐶❤️ Plus, my #ocrevus infusion went well yesterday and now we are snuggling and resting before Botox for my #Dystonia Tuesday and #WorldMsDay this Sunday 🎉 Dixie keeps me going when I’m feeling physically or mentally unwell, and I am so grateful to be able to comfort her right now. 🥰 Even after 11.5 years of being her dog mom, she’s still teaching me new lessons. She reminds me that it isn’t just “ok” to rest when your body needs it, it’s critical. And she shows me that even when things are hard and everything hurts, you can find joy in simple pleasures like a nice breeze on a beautiful day 💐 What lessons have your babies taught you? ❤️

Well, those are some of the very 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 people I am lucky to have in my life. ⭐#WorldMSDay is this Sunday, and it's all about #MSConnections. ⁣ ⁣ While MS is considered a 'snowflake' disease, there is something all of the #MSWarriors that I know have in common. They are all RESLIENT (yes, you too!). ⁣ ⁣ I've learned that if you are low on physical and mental self-care then it can be very difficult for you to find the inner (and outer) strength to overcome adversity. Your levels of resilience will suffer. Getting my hair cut and colored and putting on some makeup, well, that gave me a great mental boost personally. 💇⁣ ⁣ As far as physical self-care, I do a lot of different exercises and stretches, but I always try doing some breathing exercises daily. The good thing about breathing exercises is that you can do them just about anywhere. 💨Watch videos of breathing exercises that you can perform at home or even in bed! You will improve your lung capacity and help your body fight #fatigue. Plus, focusing on your breath helps to quiet your mind and reduce stress, building up your mental resilience too. ⁣ ⁣ “Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that's good.”― Elizabeth Edwards🙌🧡⁣ ⁣ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 #Spoonies? ⁣ [img description: Jenna, a white woman with MS, is wearing a black maxi dress with floral top from @thebluegarnetboutique and a pink blazer.

    My sweet baby dog has had a really rough month. 😭❤️ After she fell because she’s still recovering from an “idiopathic vestibular episode”, she had an emergency MRI yesterday to rule out brain tumors and spinal injury. On the bright side, they didn’t see any of those issues. 🥰 But they did find a likely cancerous tumor on her thyroid 😭 Right now, I am loving on her lots, praying and holding on to hope and faith that we caught it early and will be able to treat it so she won’t suffer at all. 🙏🏼 I’m consulting with a 🐶 oncologist ASAP. In the meantime, I wanted to update you all and tell you how much Dixie and I appreciate your love, prayers, and good energy 🙌🏻❤️ Oh... and I’m having an #Ocrevus infusion on Thursday so I’m on oral steroids every day until then (no, it’s not “typical” protocol, but my MS/life is far from typical 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️). 🍫Sooo also feel free to send chocolate with those good vibes 😂😂😂😂
