MS doesn't come with a handbook. No two days are the same. No two people experience the same symptoms. No two bodies respond to the same medications or treatments the same way. Doctors' appointments are a constant rotation of tests, adjustments, and educated guesses. And through all of it, you are figuring it out ā largely on your own, largely as you go. Some of you have been living with symptoms for years before anyone gave them a name. Some of you are still waiting for answers. Some of you cannot imagine finding anything comical inside this disease right now ā and that is completely valid and completely understood. And some of you have learned, over time, to look back at certain moments and laugh. Not because it wasn't hard. Because it was, and you made it through anyway, and sometimes the other side of hard is funny. I created MS Giggle Grams for all of you. It is a monthly mini book series ā real stories from my own life with MS. The moments I can laugh about now. The ones I laughed about in real time. The ones I called my person about immediately after and we laughed until we couldn't breathe. Every month I share one of those moments with you ā because laughter heals the soul, and your soul deserves it. šø Each month your envelope includes: āļø A handcrafted mini story booklet āļø A journal prompt āļø A bookmark āļø Stickers āļø A postcard āļø A watercolor image šø Two subscription options ā shipping always included: š Full MS Giggle Grams Experience ā $15/month š Mini Book Only ā $10/month And here's the part I love most: every subscriber has the opportunity to submit their own Giggle Grams story. If your story is published, that month is on me ā completely free. Because this isn't just my story. It's ours.
Some stories find their audience before they're ready. This one started inside the walls of a skilled care community ā written for the people right in front of me. Friends. Family. Staff who became characters without knowing it. Residents who looked forward to the next chapter more than I ever expected. They laughed at Frank. They worried about Harold's missing slipper. They asked ā every single one of them ā what happens next. So, I kept writing. The Sunny Acres Chronicles is a monthly fiction subscription delivered by mail. Each envelope carries a new chapter of life at Sunny Acres Care Community, narrated by Bea McAllister ā a retired journalist who notices everything, documents everything, and has very strong opinions about the dessert situation in the cafeteria. It began as something personal. It became something more. And now it's yours too. šø New subscribers welcome anytime.
