Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has taught me to notice the small things—changes in my energy levels, shifts in my symptoms, and how my body reacts to stress. What I didn’t realize was that this awareness would also come into play as I began to notice the subtle, almost imperceptible…
Leaving Paducah felt like the start of an exciting new chapter—our RV journey southward was anything but straightforward! With Hurricane Helene on the horizon, we knew we needed to head south without veering east, which would take us directly into the storm’s path. After strategizing our route, we enjoyed a…
