Travels in my chair
Canada
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 1 ก.พ. 2020
Welcome to Travels In My Chair. My name is Denise and I am a 70* woman who lives an active life even though I have multiple sclerosis, metastatic breast cancer which has gone into my bones, and am in a wheelchair.
My husband and I travel as much as we are able. We have an accessible travel van with a lift so we are MOBILE!
We have lots of family to see but even when we are home, there's always something going on. Whether I'm painting, writing or sharing new ideas, I have come to realize that being in a wheelchair doesn't mean life stops; it means you have the tools to experience everything life has to offer. The possibilities are endless.
I'll share my story with you and when we are able, I'll take you along on our adventures. Welcome aboard!

I am so sorry for what you went through! God bless you! I am on Ozempic too. I am 70 years old. My name is Peggy. I am not loosing like I hear about from other people. I have only been on it for 10 weeks. Lost some at first but nothing to brag about! I am going to stay on it for however long I can.??? Proud of you for your video! ♥️
@@PeggyHarsin thanks Peggy. Ozempic has effected me permanently. I only lost 20 pounds and never gained it back. My blood sugars stabilized for over a year but are now climbing. I also have a very sensitive stomach now and can’t eat anything spicy or too much of anything. Just be careful. Ozempic has a lot of benefits but it has negatives too. Good luck to you and let me know how you are getting on 🤗
Hey Denise… Good to see you again! Happy New Year! It’s even cold in La if you can believe it. I love to have company in my craft room. Everyone is doing fine here. My oldest child is going to New Hampshire to work 3 months. That is so far from home! Right now she is home for a week so we are getting all the snuggles we can. Ma is still good too, but I can see changes. I am grateful for the extra time we’ve been given. I used to hate change so much, but I don’t let it bother me anymore. Especially all the things that really don’t matter and the things I cannot change. I’ve learned to accept.😘🙏🤷♀️
@@MichelleLanigan-m4r so true Michelle. Enjoy all the days you have with your mom and spend some time playing remember when. That is one thing I didn’t do enough with my mom and now I can’t ask her all those silly little things that pop into my head especially about her growing up years and her relationship with her parents and siblings sigh ❤️🤗
Hi Denise, I'm happy to see you.i hope your health is well 😁😁?.
Hi Barb. So far, so good. I feel well and when I get the next CT scan in February, I will know if the tumours are growing or shrinking.

Hi Susan
🌟🥀🌟 Because of you, ADAPTATION is my New Year's mantra, Denise! 🌟🥀🌟 You are my shining star! 🌟🥀🌟🥀🌟🥀🌟🥀🌟🥀🌟
Thanks Ellen. We do have to continually adapt, don't we?
Have a very blessed week Denise❤❤
Thanks Tammy. I will
Good to see you. Very good information, adjusting to how you are now is very important. Gratitude for the moments in life is so helpful.
So true, Donna. I try to remember to be thankful for every day I am on this earth, with the people I love.
Love your video. Health and happiness to you too Denise. ~Mary from Michigan

I am so happy to see you looking great and are starting the New Year in the right state of Mind. I did the same thing this Christmas and had similar results. I was surprised when my son told me I'm still doing too much. Slow down in thought and activity... much love and keep on "tubing" 😂❤
@@SherryB-CNU thanks sherry. I’m just muddling through January. Looking forward to spring although my outdoor flowers are still blooming. They forget it’s winter. Sunny today and I feel happy. You too?❤️🤗
happy new year denise!

Hey Denise… Rest when you can! The scenery in the camping videos is so beautiful!!! It is worth the crash if you enjoyed the getting worn out and made memories. We had a great Christmas Eve and New Year’s with family too. It may be our last with my ma, but seeing her so happy was a memory I’ll never forget.😘🙏 love you Denise, and Happy New Year to you and yours!
@@MichelleLanigan-m4r thanks Michelle. Enjoy every minute with your mom and smile at the memories when that time comes. All the best for 2025 and my attitude is improving with our sunny days. My flowers on the deck are still blooming. Don’t they know it’s winter?❤️🤗
you look so pretty and I agree red suits you well. ♥ it is so nice that you trained your children to write thank you notes my parents did as well. sadly very few write thank you notes today. camping is just the best and being in nature under the trees feels so wonderful. love seeing your family photos soooo cute!
Thanks Michelle. I do spend alot of time with my family and I think they have talked amongst themselves about the uncertainty of my cancer and have decided to make sure I have everything I need. And what I need is time and the people I love and that is what I am getting. I'm a lucky girl. Have a wonderful 2025, Michelle.

Thanks so much Ellen. Christmas came down yesterday and then we had "spa" night with facials and pizza for dinner. So much fun that I forgot to be sad as my treasures were packed away til next year.
I send you Mary Poppins, 😛
as in a spoon full of sugar? Or her magic and positivity?
Beautiful family, and what a nature, 💙🩵🧿
Thanks so much, Anne
Red is your colour, with the pearls, gorgeous. ❤️🎁
thanks Anne. My dad always said red is a colour I can wear as long as it has a blue undertone, not orange. All the best to you in 2025!
May the year ahead be good to you❤ some beautiful memories scattered amongst the difficult times of 2024. So much to be thankful for.
so so many wonderful memories that can easily be forgotten when you feel yucky. And I am thankful every single day for my family. Have a wonderful year ahead, Susan
Your sea glass trees are so lovely. I like the way you attach them to the cone base. Instead of glueing the pieces down flat, you have layered the pieces organically. They remind me of a pine cone. Very creative! Thank you for sharing! 🎄
@@stinkbug6827 thanks so much for watching. I tried different methods and different glues before deciding gorilla glue works best and smaller pieces of glass stay in better. Tried flat pieces and glueing them to a cone but it didn’t work for me
I hope you had a lovely Christmas Denise🌲💕Was thinking of you! Best of the New year. I feel kinda bad for your little dog, staring at those cookies but I’m sure she gets the best treats
@@martiefurlong4609 well martie she gets the best of everything always. I call her the best untrained dog in the world. Christmas was fun family chaos and yesterday was a quiet relaxing day which I needed. All the best to you in 2025

Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family, Denise. Love your beautiful Christmas outfit. You look amazing! We loved seeing Roxie waiting patiently for a treat. She is such a good girl! We are having our daughter and her boyfriend over for Christmas Eve. On the menu tonight is take-out Chinese/Thai/Korean. No cooking ... just eating. I always suspected it because of your bubbly personality, but Denise, you are a party girl! Your friends are very lucky to have you organizing and hosting them.

I feel what you say about prayer circle. It is very moving, spiritual and emotional. Hi Denise. I'm so grateful that you came into my life and showed me what pure love is. I look forward to your blogs. I get very emotional and happy seeing you share your life with us. Merry Christmas to you and your family...
letter coming your way, girlfriend. Thanks for tuning in and sending love your way.
You are a master at suspense. Despite the setbacks you made me smile. You’re very brave to do a home exchange and I could NEVER
OMG Martie. Home exchanges are the very very best. You end up where you didn't think you even wanted to go and you meet the best people ever. We enjoyed Paris, Spain, Italy, the south of France and England. The people we exchanged with were perfect. The only thing we learned quickly was a lot don't speak English and used translating software on their computer so things got lost in translation. You should check Home Exchange.com out. You don't have to go to another country maybe closer to home.
Love grandma doing fun things with the kiddos🤍🌟💜
@@kiahgypsykarma thanks Kia. I love doing crafts and stuff with them
Really love this. So pretty!! Was it heavy?
It was. About 7ish pounds. I thought it would be a beast to ship to the states but one I shipped just like it was quite reasonably priced.
Your house looks so beautiful and festive I really believe in the power of Prayer. So glad you’re surrounded by love and prayer and family❤❤❤❤️

Thank you Margaret. Back at you and have a wonderful Christmas season.
Hello Denise, I've just watched your video and that tree is so beautiful! I have too recently found this idea and soon I will be trying it out myself with a smaller cone! I do alot of wood work and stone art as well so after I'm finished I will.add a solution that makes things look wet! Called the Wet look! It's going to be awesome...give it a try on your next BEAUTIFUL TREE♡
Thanks Melanie. I tried spraying the glass with shellac to give it a bit of shine but I wasn't totally happy with the effect. Wet Look, ey? I'll have to give it a try.
Perfect timing! I was thinking of you last night, wondering how you were doing! Happy holidays and enjoy your family.
@@nancyreese4964 thanks Nancy. Busy week ahead. I’m hosting two all girl get togethers and an M.S. Christmas party. Keeps me on my toes. Feeling pretty good right now and just had kids over for dinner. Fun ❤️🤗
Denise your vlog today was so enchanting, warm and so spiritual and it left me almost weepy, but in a good way. It was so warm and comforting to listen too that I had to replay it a second time and perhaps more often down the road. I truly hope that your health is improving and that you are feeling stronger and more content. You are kept in my heart with all my dear family and friends!!! ❤❤❤

( I wrote you but don’t know if you got my email. ) your collection is so beautiful and decorated your home so well. What a sweet thing for them to do for you. I know the enjoyment of seeing them all work together and all the fun to be had is such a precious memory for their futures too. As you know we are making as many as we can get ourselves with my precious mama. I’ve long admired and thought highly of you. My husband never comments on my videos rarely, except yours! He is a fan too!He is impressed with your intelligence and insight. He isn’t easy to impress!!!! GREAT JOB GIRL!!! Love and Prayers always.😘🙏Wishing you the Merriest Christmas Ever!!

It has been sent. Not uploaded by the server is what it says. I hate computers! 😂so, I think it will come for sure now.
🙏🏻🫂🙏🏻 I felt heartfelt joy and literally had goosebumps after listening to your prayer circle story, Denise! 🙏🏻🫂🙏🏻 You are a wise gentle sentient being and love bathing in the depth of your learned soul 🙏🏻🫂🙏🏻 Your home is lovely and it's spirituality is felt all the way on a sunny beach in southern California 🙏🏻🫂🙏🏻 I went to our local annual Christmas Parade last night, so between last nights wondrous sights and your well-intentioned insights, I'm finally ready to "kick up my feet and enjoy the shenanigans"!And, at age 72, you inspired me to renew my yoga teacher credentials and licensing, which would have expired December 23rd 🙏🏻🧘♀️🙏🏻 I'll email you a few pics of the parade...
Good on you girl. You must know what I mean about the 'vibes' that a circle of like minded individuals ignite when they are in a circle, semi-meditating and their hands are not touching but are breaking through a barrier. It is quite a moving experience.
You have the best family, Denise! They did a fantastic job decorating. The Christmas Spirit is alive and well in your house! (And Ronan is a brave guy for venturing in the crawl space.) Thanks for sharing the prayer circle story. I had goosebumps.
Thanks Ann. My quirky friend Lorna was such a character and if she was your champion, well, she was stuck to you like Velcro forever. She always prayed for me and I swear she was a strong influence on my healing journey.
