Typhoon Krosa has passed. All is fine. Low key, really. But I feel sad today. A mixture of things, I suppose. I blogged about it here and hope you check it out over at "Amazing Grace." Feeling less than amazing today. My last post was…

My husband was diagnosed in October 2006 as a type 2, at age 73, and I thought I was learning all about how to manage his Diabetes. When I was diagnosed this July as type 2, at age 63, I thought, well, I read alot and I know how to handle this. WRONG! He can eat things that if I just look at it my blood sugar sky rockets.

I know someone who says diabetics are like snow flakes, no two are alike. Thankfully we are both keeping good control for now. I go back to the endo mid november and…

I just have to say how proud I am of Bulloch County and our surrounding areas! We had our ADA Step Out walk today and just money in envelopes turned today we raised over $25,000! We had a HUGE turnout and I am just overwhelmed by how giving our community is.

Yay! TGIF! Lotsa love to you this weekend, from typhoon country!

I am fortunate to live in a neighborhood with so many interesting walks within a 2-4 mile radius. Today I turned left and then left again and then I realized that conditions were just right for a favorite winter walk--one that Friend Beth had reminded me of in a lovely post she wrote a few days…

I was speaking to another mother of a child with D today about Walk of Hope. I had invited her daughter to come out and walk as well as to be included in my Faces of Hope presentation. I didn't even ask for a donation because I knew they participated in a JDRF walk.



She said she had never heard of The Iacocca Foundation. I wasn't surprised. I'm sure plenty…
