Welcome to Living Well with MS Coffee Break #14, where we are pleased to welcome Katy Deacon as our guest! Our Coffee Break series is your chance to get to know members of our diverse OMS community.

We hope you enjoy this episode’s conversation with Katy, beaming to you straight from the United Kingdom. Bio: Katy is a Chartered Electrical Engineer, a wife and mother to two young children. She enjoyed her work project managing the installation of renewable energy systems and overseeing building energy management up until her MS symptoms appeared nine years ago. Katy still works full time, but she changed her technical focus as the inability to walk restricts the amount of scrambling around building sites that one can do. Questions: Katy, our audience wants to know a little bit about you and your life. Can you share some background on where you’re from, what you do, any snippets of your family or personal life or anything about you that would give our listeners a sense of who Katy is? How about your experience with MS? Can you provide some context on that? When were you diagnosed and how did you initially cope with it? At which point did you come across the OMS program? How was that experience for you? Why did you decide to start following it? What are some of the challenges you’ve faced at first in adopting the OMS program? How did you overcome them? When did you first start to see any kind of positive indicators in following OMS guidelines? What were these? You have experienced some mobility issues. Can you share some of your experiences in dealing with these and how you’ve learned to adapt? How have you had to adapt your daily healthy habits to the new realities imposed by Covid-19? And has following the OMS program helped you deal with the new realities of Covid-19 times? On a personal note, do you have any unusual interests or wacky hobbies you can tell us about? What kind of stuff will we find you doing on a weekend? If there is one piece of advice you can share with people new to the OMS program, what would that be? Katy’s Favorite Links: Backup Trust’s wheelchair skills app and website are excellent resources for new wheelchair users who might need some additional training and support. Apple Watch’s activity goals are great – Katy is an achievement-focused person and the Apple Watch tracks her pushes. Powering a manual wheelchair can be tough, so Katy has found these strengthening techniques really useful. Katy likes the MyFitnessPal app for tracking food intake. Katy loves this checklist for healthy eating from Veganuary. Foothold is a UK support charity Katy is proud to be involved with. This is a great blog entry Katy wrote for OMS in 2019. Coming up on our next episode: On the next episode of Living Well with MS, join us for a very special interview with Overcoming MS Chair and charity founder Linda Bloom, who discusses her own personal journey on the OMS Program and how it paved the way to the founding of a charity that has touched the lives of thousands of people with MS around the world.

Article marketing and internet advertising businesses are more than easy websites, they symbolize the virtual contact point between a company and clients or potential customers. Lots of business managers and internet investors make the mistake of seeing the all too specialized aspects of digital marketing, forgetting that they sell to actual people whose behavior can only partly be anticipated. The power put into Internet advertising businesses ought to serve to the satisfaction of the clients’ desires. You need to persuade people to return to your business web pages again and again. There are a number of ways for Internet advertising businesses to help keep their visitors pleased. But you may only achieve this in the event you know your target audience well, you have a clear concept of the internet surfers’ expectations and also you come up with the internet marketing strategies properly. It’s no longer enough to say that an item is great because it has these and those characteristics. The advertising message now requires to emphasize how the item in question can make a difference for the user. That is the key to success for really professional Internet advertising businesses. Another criterion that frequently passes unnoticed or is neglected by web designers is the relevance of the website for the visitor's needs. The majority of websites correspond to a generic structure. They have sections like: ‘Our Products’, ‘Who We Are’, ‘Favorite Links’ and ‘FAQ’. But, these categories often might fail to fulfill the particular requirements of the individual, and he or she will discard your website as irrelevant. And here we have the straight answer why some Internet marketing businesses fail to produce consumer devotion. I’ll offer you a clear instance of relevance. Let’s imagine you sell hand tools for trucks and little automobiles. What type of info will visitors find on your internet page? Are there item evaluations? Have you included the correct technical particulars that make your website informative and practical at the same time? Good article marketing and Internet advertising businesses are those that persuade site visitors to purchase and return for more, whether for info or for other products and accessories. For the promotion of hand tools, as suggested above, you should be to the liking of both engineers and mechanics. Take a close look into all of the above-mentioned issues, because you otherwise risk making your web site one of the many other Web advertising businesses. And if you do not discover a component to stand out with, then, you have all chances to keep sales low and make little if any profit at all.
About Shirley Enebrad in her own words...Aloha, I am the proud mother of Cory, the wonderful little boy for whom this book was written. He taught me how to live my life with joy, purpose and integrity. His short life and the lessons he shared were a gift to thousands of people worldwide thanks to his loving relationship with Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. He asked me to write this book to help Elisabeth teach people that death is not the end and that we should not be afraid. Cory loved the message in the song "The Rose." Especially the part about "those afraid of dying cannot learn to live..." His courage was astounding. His lessons were and are still profound. But, this book is not about dying...it is about living the life you have been gifted by God. I hope you enjoy the read. I currently live in Washington with my husband Steven, two rambunctious dogs Maile and Koa and our sweet grey kitty boy T.C. (stands for The Cat). We have two beautiful daughters Brie & Keili and my sweet grandson Cory Keawe and we have a hanai daughter named Malia whom we love very much. By profession I am an award-winning television/video producer/writer. I am also a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist. I conduct grief workshops and do grief work with individuals. And, now I am an author! As a volunteer I am the president of Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Western Washington. Formerly I was the Washington State Team Leader for CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation, which focuses on securing research funding for the Children's Oncology Group. (links available on Favorite Links page). I also volunteer with a community organization that promotes the area of Seattle where I reside. When asked, I also help my friends with their volunteer efforts...from drug affected newborns to promoting the arts to young people. My grandfather always said, "help if and when you can." This is something I have instilled in my children. God's blessings and much aloha, Shirley Enebrad
