Vita Oyler, M.S., is a rehabilitation counselor, author, and chronic pain advocate who has thrived despite living with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) and other chronic conditions for over 35 years. She authored "Got Pain? Now What? Navigating Through a Journey of Pain

Do you suffer from a chronic painful condition? Are you confused about what to do? Do you want to take your life back in spite of pain? There are about 1.5 billion people worldwide living with chronic pain. Pain is not picky. There are no boundaries. Pain affects men, women, and children, and is not necessarily age-related. One can develop pain from accidents, illnesses, traumas, and other events. So how does one live with pain?

Vita Oyler has been living with a painful condition known as RSD for over thirty-five years. Besides the RSD, she has developed other painful conditions such as as fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, and other conditions.. She has learned to focus on goals, family, hobbies, laughter, animals, alternatives, and other strategies which have led her to living a happy and good quality of life. Vita wrote this book to help others that either suffer chronic pain or have family members or friends that do.

Vita intends readers to gain some understanding of how pain interacts with daily life and how to find ways to live with pain that actually work for her. She explains how she has lived her life to her fullest in spite of pain.

SAN MARCOS, Calif. (January 21, 2026) -- The Unified Esports League (UESL) will host a world-first Super Smash Grand Championship for individuals with special needs on February 21 from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. at The Bornemann Theatre located on the TERI Campus for Life in San Marcos.

The inaugural championship will bring together 24 finalists from UESL’s six San Diego County and Imperial County locations to compete for a team trophy, as well as individual first-, second-, and third-place individual recognition. Participants are currently preparing to earn the title of Unified Esports League Grand Champion.

UESL and TERI both serve people with disabilities through inclusive, skill-building programs. TERI currently hosts UESL’s Technology Center in San Marcos, supporting children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) through hands-on technology and gaming experiences.

“The Bornemann Theatre at TERI Campus of Life is the perfect location for this inaugural event,” says UESL Founder and CEO Matthew Iske. “Our goal is to create opportunities where players with IDD can be part of a team, building friendships and learning through positive gaming experiences.”

The Bornemann Theatre is both a public live entertainment venue and the performing arts center for TERI program participants with autism and other developmental disabilities.

UESL is a San Diego based organization that provides its Technology Education Program to help those with special needs develop skills through their passion for technology. UESL programs operate during after-school hours, five days a week at its various locations in San Diego and Imperial Counties. UESL opened its doors in 2023 after several years of planning and developing its curriculum.

“This program not only teaches players the values of being on a team but serves as an opportunity to make friends while learning about new technologies in the video game and tech industries,” adds Iske.

At the event, there will be light refreshments hosted on the patio next to The Bornemann Theatre entrance, beginning at 2:00 p.m. for guests as they arrive. Live Super Smash characters will be present and available to have pictures taken as well. The Grand Championship competition begins at 3:00 p.m.

Monique Gagné

Monique, the author of the enlightening book "Who Took My Money?" published in 2008, has undergone a fascinating evolution from teaching fashion design to becoming an IT specialist and certified trainer. Transitioning from roles as a mortgage agent and wealth builder coach, she now shares her insights through a course called "The Power of Financial Happiness." Monique believes that managing money can be simple and enjoyable, demystifying the art of money management and making concepts like snowballing debt, budgeting, and retirement planning both accessible and fun. Over the past two decades, she has successfully assisted hundreds of couples in navigating financial challenges, helping to keep marriages and families together.

Monique's narrative is woven with sage, common-sense wisdom, reminiscent of the dialogues between the book's main characters—wise grandfather GP and his grandson Charles, a budding financial advisor. Their conversations, set in the family garage, illuminate complex financial concepts, inspire confidence, and celebrate financial milestones.

Channeling the spirit of GP, Monique advises, "The best time to take charge of your financial future is now. Invest in yourself by shifting your mindset and establishing positive habits. Well-managed money can support you for life, offering rewards beyond what you might imagine." She also cautions against perceived shortcuts, emphasizing the importance of discipline and adaptive planning, particularly in the realm of real estate investment.

Beyond her professional endeavors, Monique is deeply engaged in her community, contributing to causes like cancer support and local events. She encourages aspiring financial leaders to prioritize mentorship and continuing education, recognizing that success often stems from serving others in various capacities.

Monique's journey is a testament to resilience and continuous growth. From her early experiences as a timid child to her remarkable achievements in fashion design, IT, and finance, she has consistently pursued excellence. As she approaches retirement, Monique's ambitions extend beyond personal success; she aims to become a prominent influencer on money and happiness, leaving a legacy of love and wisdom in her wake.

Her commitment to philanthropy shines through initiatives like the World's Largest Bear Hug, which has raised significant funds for cancer research. Monique's story is not just about past achievements; it's a prologue to the future chapters of influence she is yet to write—a story of embracing the world with wisdom, love, and financial enlightenment.
