Okay, so its been awhile since I have blogged. My computer broke, then Christmas happened, then I just simply refused to get tied down to technology. I have not checked my emails or blogged in months!
So, what changed?
My friend Lisa happened to have perfect timing for the perfect pick me up. I received the news this morning that I have been diagnosed with Crohns Disease. This is a hereditary autoimmune disorder that primarily attacks the digestive system, focusing on the intestinal tract. While I was attempting to research the disease and overload my brain with information, my friend Lisa texted me. She recently told me about a blog that was a "must read" and when I texted her and spoke with her on the phone, she made me stop the doomsday drama and log onto the blog right then and there.
WOW!
What a wonderful blog! Stephanie Neilson, aka Nienie, had the most "perfect" life. Her take on life and family and her vegetarian lifestyle was just what I needed to motivate me. So, here I sit, ready to pick up my bootstraps and move forward. I will not let this news bring me down. This "Nienie" and hubby were in a plane crash that left them both severely burned-she over 80% of her body. Her outlook was so overwhelming and refreshing and very humbling.
Kudos to you Nienie and Mr. Nielson!
The band marches on!
U inspire and motivate. Your lovely personality and take on life is a winner.
Thank you to Lisa for the hook-up and thank you to Nienie for the inspiration!
