there are always challenges no matter who we are

[Guest guest]

Jackie,

I just wanted you to know everyone has " challenges " in life. Whether

we/they have CMT or not.

Example: My neighbor, age 41, has been diagnosed with ALS. Up until

last year she was a soccer Mom, worked full-time, and was a lady-jock

herself excelling in many sports. On top of this, her husband has

recently lost his job. He's 48. Then on top of this, their entire

house had to be re-roofed, and during one of our recent storms, their

skylights leaked so bad, the house was flooded. In addition, their 16

year old daughter collapsed on the soccer field 3 days ago and is

sitting in the hospital with IV's as she has massive kidney infection

which has spread to her hip. My neighbor's son is 11 years old and

has been recently diagnosed with some sort of neuro-impairment that

affects cognition.

Decisions always need to be made, whether one has CMT or not. And

there will be more decisions to come. When I need to prepapre for

decision making, I spend lots of time in total quiet, I get in touch

with my intuition, I meditate, I write (pros and cons) I seek out

people who have to make similiar decisions and ask their experience,

I sleep on it, I pray. The right answer always comes when I ask for

it.
