Guest Post

A few weeks ago a friend of mine, and fellow blogger, asked me to write a guest post for her blog series about personal challenges.  She asked me to write either about being Noah's mom and everything that goes with it, or about the challenges I've face with my own health.  I chose the latter because right now I'm sure I can be inspirational when it comes to being Noah's mom.  :)

I've included the link to my post.  It's on the long side (when haven't my posts been on the long side?!), but I hope you will take the time.  Before I sent it to my friend Jodi, I had two other friends read it, telling them it was too long and asking what they thought I could cut out.  Both responded with "Don't change anything.  If someone really needs to hear what you have to say, they will read it in its entirety."  So, because I trust these two woman so much, I didn't change anything.

I hope you will also take the time to read some of Jodi's posts.  She herself has quite an inspirational story!  Not too long ago, she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.  She and her husband sought out several opinions until they finally found a surgeon who looked at her 4 young children and realized he felt obligated to at least try to remove her tumor.  Today, she is tumor free, but her story is not without some hiccups (to say the least).  When I need a pick-me-up, I read Jodi's posts.  Her attitude and perspective are amazing to me.  I'm sure they will be to you as well!

Thanks for reading!
