I remember just like it was yesterday, the moment I was diagnosed with MS, my heart stopped, I knew nothing about it other than it could paralyze you for life. After my diagnosis, I went home and thought to myself, what now? how will I get my daughter through her last year of High School, what am I going to do? Well none of these answers came to me all of a sudden, I prayed and asked God to help me, still no answers. Until one night while watching the Food Network something came over me, now I've always liked to cook but something said to me get up and start trying some of these recipes, mind you, I was in a whole lot of pain all the time but I still had to cook for me and my daughter, so, I decided that I was going to listen to that inner voice and start cooking, every time I would try a recipe I would call my neighbor over to sample it, she would and she would always encourage me whether she liked it or not. I had gotten to the point where I would sit and watch Food Network all day and I would cook while they were cooking, Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives was one of my favorite shows. Before I knew it I would be up all night cooking even while I was hurting and before long I forgot about my pain with my MS and every time I would begin to hurt, I would get up and cook, not only did cooking become my Pain Medicine, it became my Passion. This is how I turned my Pain into Passion, what will you do with your pain?
