TO THE FUTURE

Something happened to me this weekend.  I went to Fandom Fest in Louisville, KY.  Now don’t for a minute think I did not have an awesome time.  But I did learn a few things.  I met some incredible people, including two amazing women in wheelchairs, who were, in a word, wonderful! 

The Problem:  Me.  I am very overweight.  The venue for the con was huge.  It required lots of walking.  I hurt.  I do not want to be like this anymore.  I do not want to be in a wheelchair because of my weight and the strain it puts on my body.  I am tired of constantly hurting, whether it is my knees or my legs or hips. 

So:  I decided to start this blog with the help of my friend and fellow con goer and awesome author Susan Roddey.  I don’t know how much we will share with the world, or how much it will be shared just with our circle of writers and friends.  We will figure that out as we go along. 

This is what I look like now.  I want that to change.  I want to do it in a manner that will create a healthier me.  I want to be happy that I am me.

I am willing to take suggestions.  This is the beginning of my journey, and with Susan working right along with me on her journey, we will not be alone. 

This is day one: July 3, 2012…. Here is to the future.
