Laurie Erdman, May 9, 2012
It took me 6 months to pick up the phone, I was so gripped by fear. I really wanted to offer to do a workshop for my local chapter of the National MS Society. But I couldn’t get myself to pick up the phone. Sharing my story and what I had learned about diets and multiple sclerosis seemed like a huge risk.
Why all this hesitation, when every bit of my being knew I was meant to inspire and educate, and make the complex, practical and doable? One big friggin’ f-word.

7 Questions You Must Ask Before Starting Any Alternative Healing Modality
Guest Author, February 24, 2012
If you’re anything like me on this wild path of self healing, this post is perfect for you. I can’t believe it’s been almost 20 years on my path of healing. I’m happy to say that today I live symptom-medication free of a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.
Multiple Sclerosis is one of 80 types of auto-immune disorders known today touching 350,000 people in the U.S.
I’ve worked with about a hundred healers from every modality; Acupuncture, Ayurveda, light therapy, Reiki, networkchiropractic, thai yoga massage, cranial sacral massage, re-birthing, angel therapy, yoga, Natropathy, intuitive heart healing, the Grindberg method, hypnosis, past life regression, quantum biofeedback to zen meditation — you name it, I’ve probably have done it.

I became an Owning Pink blogger in part to spread the word about radical self care. I have clearly been snoozing on the job! So no more putting off that series of posts about radical self care tools I use to maintain my mojo - let's get started.

Laurie Erdman, June 23, 2010
My last supper was December 25, 2009. I made a wonderful Christmas dinner with turkey, gravy, stuffing, and green beans; the works. That was two days after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (my uninvited guest). The meal was comfort food at its best.

Laurie Erdman, June 8, 2010
When I walked out of the neurologist’s office, I knew my life would never be the same. I had just been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I knew I couldn’t control the disease (or life for that matter), but I wondered what changes I could make. How could I view this illness in a way that honored my body and spirit?

A Thanksgiving Blessing
Lissa Rankin, November 27, 2008
I always thought my father was simple. Not in the mentally-handicapped kind of way, but definitely not complicated like me. Sure, we had things in common. Like me, he went to medical school, completed a residency, and practiced as a physician, so I certainly didn’t consider him unintelligent.
