Hello friends --Hope this finds you and yours healthy and happy! The heat and humidity are starting to climb in my neck of the woods (southern Virginia). How about where you are??  I recently posted a podcast interview I did with Katie Collett , an Emmy-nominated news anchor on WAVY-TV 10 and Fox 43, the local NBC affiliates in southern Virginia – where I live. She’s also a wife, a mother, a daughter, a friend, etc. – and she has MS. She’s up at 2:15 am and works from 3:30 am – 1:00 pm! And that’s just her day job. She has a 4-year-old little boy at home too! AND she is a very vocal advocate for MS awareness and a participant in a multitude of fundraising efforts.  She’s pretty amazing – but I think she’d deny that. She’s also really humble and down-to-earth. She tells me all about her first symptoms and how she was diagnosed. We talk in depth about disclosing at work and she offers some great advice. This is a “can-do” woman and she’s got MS in her sites.  I’m really glad she’s on our team. She’s not going to give up until there’s a cure. And she’s got a great FUMS attitude, always looking at the bright side and using phrases like “I’m very fortunate,” “I appreciate life,” and “I refuse to lose.” Hers is an interesting and inspirational story.Here's a link to the podcast episode.

Sometimes it helps the stress, just to say "F-U-M-S"
