Please don’t confuse me with the singer. I would love to have her talent for singing and the money. I started this blog to connect to others and to the world. I made a widget “About Me” page but being new to blogging, I’m not quite sure it is right. Most of the information was taken from my profile in Facebook, three to four years ago. I have been editing a 315-page Galley (text manuscript) this weekend so my thoughts are running together right now. Basically I write to reach the audience and to express myself. I could spice up the text with humorous dialogue, sarcasm or irony, but I have found the most effective writing is from personal experience. I got into writing while recovering from three major illnesses. I have been affected with an autoimmune disorder for nearly four years. It developed through breast cancer the year before. I also had cervical spine surgery that year too. I know – blah, blah, blah and who cares, however, it explains who I am and how I get here. My spiritual identity grew then and with it, my creative writing skills (genes) came into play. God was with me through thick and thin. I owe him my life and bringing me back to the living.

I’m enjoying your blog page. I’m excited to see how God uses your talents in writing. Also, connecting with others through blogging is a great way to expand on your passions. I like the picture you chose for the blog page, it’s elegant & mystical. Makes me wonder what’s to be discovered behind each door. Love ya!

Thanks Janice so much. I think this is the tip of the iceberg. Some of the blogging course I find a bit challenging. Gradually learning day by day. I’ve had some really nice comments on my blog from others. Love ya too, sis!

I hope you are doing better health-wise now. That sounds like a terrible thing to go through, but I’m glad that you were able to rely on God for it. I talked a bit about my experience with that in my most recent post. I’d love it if you checked it out! keep up the good work! ~The TJ Blog

I, too, have an immune issue – CVID – common variable immune disorder. I get so sick of being sick! I’m better since I’ve retired & my immunologist says it’s because I’m not surrounded by people all day and I can rest whenever I feel tired. I hope you can rest and stay well – it’s a real pain in the butt, isn’t it? Stay in touch.

Yes, it is a pain. How long have you had it? I was diagnosed about four years ago with Lambert-Eaton Mysathenic Syndrome (LEMS) after having breast cancer the end of 2010. So many categories and types of immune disorders. I went to a medical doctor today in Decatur that specializes in alternative treatments. He seemed good but it was not insured. Tests were very expensive. However, I found another medical doctor closer to home at Kennestone. Will keep you updated on how it goes. I certainly send you good thoughts and glad you are able to rest now. Chronic fatigue seems to travel with it.
