Normal Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference
~Robert FrostAs we travel through life, we carry with us a road map in our minds of what our life will be like.

Understanding Mitochondrial Disease: Energy Well Spent
Energy is part of life. Without it, not much happens. We often don’t pay much attention to the energy we use, until it is gone. One big snow storm or lightening storm with power outages and we are quickly reminded of how essential energy is to our entire beings.
Having a mitochondrial disorder is like a permanent brown out. Systems work but intermittently and sometimes not at all. In fact, some systems become so devoid of energy they run out of steam. That’s when problems arise.
