Romance and MS? Why not!
March is MS awareness month--kind of a strange way to start a romance blog!
If you’re reading this, you have a friend who is living strong with this disease every day. I was diagnosed in August 2015. I’m very lucky that I was diagnosed early. I have no symptoms. I’m blessed to still be able to run five miles a day and keep up with my growing boys. Every 28 days, I receive medicine via infusion. This medicine has kept the disease at bay.
There have been many changes in my life since the diagnosis. I’m happy to report that most of these changes are quite wonderful.
A year after my diagnosis, I started writing my romance novel, The Road Home. Seems a little weird, right? But, it’s not. I needed an escape. I needed something to take my mind off my worries. Do you want to know the great thing about romance? It’s the happily ever after. No matter what the characters endure, they always end up all right. I needed that certainty in my life. I found it when I turned on my laptop each day.
I just finished my second romance novel, The Sound of Home and have started on book three. I’ve teamed up with a group of amazing author to start the Kiss & Tell Romance group on Facebook. It’s a fun place to talk books and interact with smart, creative women. Come check us out. https://www.facebook.com/groups/kissa...
2018 is a big year for me for another reason. Twenty years ago, I was part of my university’s first collegiate swimsuit calendar. I was Miss August.
This year, I set a goal a for myself in honor of the calendar’s 20th anniversary. I’m using the Aaptiv fitness app to build muscle, lose a few pounds, and stay mentally strong.
I plan on being around for a long time. MS hasn’t held me back. I don’t plan on ever letting it.
I’m on day 33 of what I’m calling The Swimsuit Challenge. But it’s about a lot more than fitting into a swimsuit. I’m counting down to August 2018. My goal is to feel physically and mentally strong. My goal is to be a supportive wife, mother, and friend. My goal is to have the next two books in the Langley Park romance series available for purchase. My goal is to be MS strong every single day.
I’m tweeting out my daily progress @Krista_Sandor_

I’ll be making periodic updates on Facebook, but Twitter is where you’ll see all the daily pics and updates.
Happy March.
Happy MS Awareness Month.
You get one life. Give it all you’ve got.
