Selma Blair in Bathing Suit Has a "Moment to Reflect"

Selma Blair is feeling reflective. "In honor of this page being nominated for @thewebbyawards (best of the internet!), I want to take a moment to reflect on what this platform and community have meant to me," she posted on Instagram. "In 2018, I shared my news of MS with a post on Instagram. Because this page was already being created by you, in fact, my earliest soul supporters, with such love and attention when I was overburdened before, it was the natural place to make sense of discovered truths, great and small. Since then we have shared the key moments from hospital beds to red carpets, from stillness to silliness. You are the ones I think of when it’s not only my son. I thank you and I am so grateful to be a part of your life. Your journey. Thank you to @thewebbyawards for recognizing my story which is one that represents so many other people, too. Congrats to all of us, this community." She shared a swimsuit photo, among others, to celebrate life. How does she stay healthy?
