About Cathy and An Empowered Spirit: An Empowered Spirit is my blog to empower you to live a rich and full life after age 50 and despite living with a disability.
I want our journey to be a healthy, enriching and exciting one. How can we do that? By educating and enlightening ourselves on ways to live our passions right now, and to be aware of how delicious life can be.
It’s all about taking great care of ourselves and the world around us. I’ll keep you up-to-date on the latest news on wellness, Multiple Sclerosis and other related illnesses.
We’ll talk about paying it forward through social good causes and the right of every animal to be treated with respect and dignity. And I’ll share with you my love of travel, classic film/ television, books and anything else that puts a smile on our faces.
So pull up a chair and let’s share life’s journey together. I’d love to hear what you have to say. Leave a comment below and let’s chat about the road we’re on. It’s a lot less bumpy when we travel together.
