Exciting News!

Obstacles are going to come our way, that's a given. What we do with those obstacles is what matters. Why not overcome then instead of trying to fight them or walk away from then? That's what I did and it's been quite the blessing.

This blog would have never happened if it weren't for MG. Now more are aware of a rare disease that they may not have known of before. I also started my second blog Strength by Faith

A "shop" online was created in which I've sold shirts and other items to promote awareness. Again, never would have I thought to do such a thing if it weren't for MG. Fight MG as well as Dysautonomia Awareness

And today I completed what has been my goal for some time now, the final piece of my MG project, for lack of better term. I opened an Etsy shop!

This is very exciting for me! Why? Because again it proves to me that I can take something that is trying to bring me down and use it to stand right back up. Though I am considered disabled, I will not allow myself to stay down. I will get up, over and over and over if I have to. Physical ability is only one portion of our overall abilities. Don't look at what you lost, look at what you have and what you can do with what you have! I will promote awareness of this disease. I will fight for my own life and support the fight of others. Together we can do this! Together we ARE doing this!

And so here you go, my Etsy shop, or at least the beginning of it. For those who aren't familiar with Etsy, it is like an online shop... but unlike my other shop at Cafe Press, where I design the items through the internet and Cafe Press sells them... with Etsy, I literally create/design my items, right here in the house, then I take my own pictures of them, post them, and others can order them from me, and I literally mail them out. With my Cafe Press items, I have so far donated the entire amounts made to the MG community. With my Etsy shop, I do plan to continue to donate but I also need to cover mycosts of making these items. So I'll figure that out as we go.

Please share with those who have MG, know someone who has MG, or with anyone... after all, my goal all along has been MG awareness. These are some perfect gifts for Christmas for your loved ones fighting this battle or for you all with MG to give to others to spread the word. Thank you all for checking it out!
