R.E.A.L. Truth and What We Do With It! Stand Up & Speak Up with Debby Montgomery Johnson and Mary Ellen Ciganovich

<p>Mary Ellen Ciganovich speaks R.E.A.L. Truth and it matters! &nbsp;Diagnosed with epilepsy as a 6 year old, Mary Ellen was told to hide it and pretend nothing was wrong with her. &nbsp;Laws on the books "back then" held that she couldn't get married or have children. &nbsp;Ministers preached that the devil was in folks, like her and that made her ANGRY. &nbsp;However, not wanting to get into the victim mode, which might have been easier for her, she stayed determined to love herself and other more. &nbsp;She realized that the words she chose to use mattered and the way she spoke mattered - and MANNERS matter. &nbsp;&nbsp;Mary Ellen did marry and have a baby and she asked GOD for one thing - don't let my child get "it" and then WHAM, came the diagnosis. &nbsp;Mad at GOD now? &nbsp;Change the perception and get a 2nd opinion. &nbsp;If those trials weren't enough Mary Ellen was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 38 and she's been a true survivor ever since. &nbsp;Mary Ellen reminds us to "Be R.E.A.L - Really Enthusiastic About Life - because being R.E.A.L. leads you to live your Truth, find your passion, and our purpose to make our world just a little bit better."</p> <p>Find out more at www.AskMaryEllen.com&nbsp;</p> <p>Debby Montgomery Johnson is a Victims Advocate, Speaker, Author and available at www.TheWomanBehindTheSmile.com</p>
