My Epilepsy Story

In enjoying the beautiful water while looking ahead to what’s coming for

“In life, we are like a sailboat on the water… we can prepare for what’s ahead yet sometimes the unexpected happens and it’s what we do in those moments that will define the rest of the journey. Just as the waves in a lake move by transferring energy through the water we are too putting our energy into the things around us. In the midst of joy and painful times remember the shoreline is ahead. Yet, don’t focus too much on the shoreline that you don’t embrace to waves. Each wave will shape you into a better version of yourself”
~ Brandy S.McFadden, Founder of My Epilepsy Story (MES) International Women With Epilepsy Day (IWWED)

“It’s with the most heaviest of hearts that I announce that one of my best friends, sister, founding board member, Dr.Cynthia Louise Harden, has passed away.

Please join with us as we love on her precious daughter during this time. We love you Julia and your mother loved you more than anything!”
