Dear TuDiabetes Friends
I come to you for help! I believe, it is crucial that our community comes together and take ownership of the wonderful opportunity of doing something really BIG: As you might know, We have less than 14 days to reach our 20000 Big Blue Test entries in order to raise $100,000 for people with diabetes in need. BECAUSE OF THE NOV. 14th DEADLINE, we need to act fast!
I also want to present to you the video we did for the Big Blue Test grantee in Haiti.…

Today I am deep-cleaning my studio, our studio… not my art studio, but the one with the computer and books.
I decided to go over my books and select the ones I don’t really use anymore… I have done this so many times in the past, usually I find an excuse to keep most of them.
The strangest thing happened today when I opened my architecture and Interior Design books… They mean so much to me… so many years, so much passion on those books.
Yet, Today I finally felt it was… Continue

New Year, New Life...
I am glad to be finally back!
Today I am writing from our new house in Palo Alto, as you may know we moved from
Orlando during the holiday, and still re-organizing everything in my
house and life. One thing I know, a range of new opportunities are open
for me right now (I just need to know what and where they are, ha)...
it is very exiting and scary I guess... however, yesterday we got our
stuff from the moving truck…

my grandma died this morning. I feel so sad, so isolated... I have the strangest sensation that I could just evaporate if I tried(or knew how) , and "fly" from here: in front of a computer and $ 2000 and 1 later day away to her service in Merida, my home city in Venezuela.
How can that be? my body feels soulless... I hope my mind could join my soul where it is... Al least I hope my dear family, (dad, mom, brother and sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles) can realize my soul is actually…

We are very happy it could work out. Enjoy!

I wanted to let you know that I have been working on a solution to the banner. Last night I was proudly ready to install wat I thought was a great idea... but it did not work. :(
Manuel and I, are going to try contacting Ning for support. We will keep on trying until we find something that works better, that allows everybody to customize their pages freely while being part of tudiabetes!
Please bear with us ;)
We are learning a lot in the run of how the code works for…

The things I have learned for TU DIABETES so far...
Honestly, at the very beginning of this project, I was a bit hesitant
to encourage Manuel to work even more than he already does… The reason: sometimes
it just gets hard for us to have some healtly balance in our lives. We
simply run out of time, at the end of the day, we end up giving up
important things for ourselves: like exercising, relax, or have some
quality time as a family. However, in… Continue

I was talking with Manuel (Manny H.) about the possibilities of offering some customized banners and logos downloads so you all will be able to customize your pages while showing that you are part of the community. (if you want, of course)
We still need to sit down and decide how are we going to do it, but I wanted to let you know that we acknowledge your comments. We understand the importance of freedom and the need for identity in a social community. We'll come up with something as…

I was thinking about uploading some photos to our community to share a little more me and my family with you, but then I though, Humm... Manuel is already doing some of that... then I thought maybe I can bring some of the pictures of my painting to share with you, but, I already have a link in my page and you can visit my gallery anytime at www.andreinadavila.com... so I had an idea that may actually bring lots of information to you:
I will build a COLLECTION of diabetes related…

I am very glad to be here!
I am Manny Hernandez wife, so for me this site represents many different things. First, it is an opportunity to meet people like me, who has a loved one(s) with diabetes. Second, it is my husband most significant personal project. I am sure that with time we members, will all find here a place to communicate, learn and vent.
Thank you very much for sharing!
