LOL...that was my favorite quote from Diane's interview as well.  I am sitting here looking at my fan as I write this.  I have it on even in winter sometimes.  Anyways...thank you for coming by to read and comment!

Diane is such a caring, strong person which is evident through her words.  She has come to my aid on occasion and has helped me to navigate rough waters.  Her ability to be passionate, positive, and outraged - all at the same time - is a shining example of how to tackle the world, inside and out.  Love her blog and her spirit.

What a great profile--Diane's blog, A Stellar Life. I visit daily (is she prolific or what?) and always find something new, unique, and often hilarious.

Yeah I am telling you...I can't quite keep up with her...she can really write!  And she is always informative and interesting.  Thanks for your comment...I hope Diane stops by to see all the wonderful things said about her.

Nice segment of a brave person who looks at the best in her life instead of letting the focus of MS tamper her spirit.

 

Another nice article!

Merely Me:

 

You chose the perfect person living with MS to interview.  Diane is true inspiration for anyone living with MS; she inspires me to fight the MS roller coaster.  Diane you are a JEWEL in the MS blogging community.  I know it is difficult for you to continue to blog and you wanted to stop once you reached your goal, but you continue to blog for all of us who enjoy coming to your site. Thank you
