My 1st Act of Kindness was “Just Because” Flowers left for Mandy, who gave me this idea and Cristi, who does so many thoughtful things for people. I am blessed to call each one of them my friend!

Happy Summer ya’ll! Here is a friendly reminder of my quick tips to Beat the Heat this summer!

1. Drink lots and lots of water

2. Avoid anything that makes your body overheat

3. Have a fan or cooling items like cooling towels, etc always on hand

4. Plan your day out around the weather so you do not over heat

5. Drink water, I will say this over and over

6. Know your limits of when enough heat is enough

7. Stay in air conditioned areas when needed

8. Enjoy your summer, just with adjustments! Life is good!

So excited to announce my new Campaign starting today!

Today is my 30th Birthday and I have decided to do

30 Acts of Kindness in my 30th Birthday year!

This idea came from my friend Mandy who did this for the month of her 30th Birthday in May of this year. I was told about this concept and immediately wanted to “Pay it Forward” like Mandy did and create a whole year of kindness! So that is how The Mandy Project was born! I hope this campaign will inspire so many others to do random acts of kindness, show others good in the world, and make people smile!

Be sure to follow along at www.marciviland.com and if you want to start your own The Mandy Project, let me know! I will share all my info with you as well as logo work, etc.

Let’s start something BIG with this, shall we?!?!

Last night on PBS, the movie documentary, When I Walk, aired. It is about a film makers journey of his MS. I have it dvr’d but have not watched it yet. To be honest, it may take me a while to actually watch it because I know it will be hard to watch. But I know he is passionate about sharing his message like I am and want to share it with all of you.

Here is the trailer clipping of this film http://video.pbs.org/video/2365202348/

or you can find the whole film on www.pbs.org

Stay cool during these hot summer days!

Staying on a treatment is so important for your health. But I get it, we get sick of doing an injection day in day out, week after week, treatments monthly, or whatever your treatment routine may be. I remember being on Avonex and just wanting a break so I had a week that I was not sick feeling like I got hit by a truck. Trust me I get this feeling of just wanting to give up. But I encourage you to not do so. If you really feel you need a break take a small one, then get right back on the horse again. Your deserve to do this for your health and for all those who love you.  We all need to give ourselves and body the best and most we can provide for it. You are doing great on whatever treatment you are on! You got this!
