I have a short stature, muscle weakness, chronic pain & problem with my teeth. My right leg is at a 40 degree angle & my left somewhat twisted to the right. Growing up was hard. kids say & do the meanest things. I was made fun of all my life, stared at, Things that scarred me for life. I held in my anger, feelings and pain. I built walls and let no one in. my life changed almost 6yrs ago. my mom died from heart failure due to diabetes. I never got to say I was sorry, I forgive her and I love her so much. That I understand why I never got help to correct this. After my mom died I went into a depression. I seen specialist which their info angered me even more. I'm in a wheelchair now, I let myself go, I didn't care anymore. I was going to live life like there's no tomorrow. Finally I realized i'm headed on my mom's path. I'm starting to learn to let go and most of all forgive. God made me different for a reason and I want to show the world why. I want to inspire the world.

  16. thanks for the interest in my blog, this jam is special.

    I hope you will stay encouraged and take one day at a time. It’s not easy but I believe all things are possible with God even though we can ask thousands of questions when bad things happen. But God loves us, I just chose to trust it . Even though it might be a different case but I saw a woman coming out of a wheelchair after 23 years (you can watch on youtube. Before that she beat cancer and on top of it she was a pastor so she had to deal with all kind of internal struggles but she hung in there and didn’t stop believing.

  27. Thank you for visiting my blog. I have been reading your posts and I am amazed by what a determined woman you are. If I had half your get up and go, I would be a very skinny me by now!!
    I read that your Mother passed away and that you went into a depression after that. I went into a depression when I lost my Dad. It is so hard to get out of again, but we can do it!!
    I too am trying to lose weight (my eldest son gets married in two years time – how did I get so old??), so lets do it together!
    Good Luck and Keep on Keeping on!!

  30. Good luck. Have been there with the weight issues. No quick fix with fad diets, just a question of eating sensibly, allowing yourself the occasional treat (and not feeling guilty afterwards) and taking each day at a time.
    Being in a wheelchair sucks. Have just had a stint on crutches (hopeless) so you have my utmost respect for doing what you do.
    Have had my share of depression too. Remember PMA : Positive Mental Attitude. You can and you will, it just might take a little longer.
    Keep smiling! 🙂

  41. I hope you know how brave you are.I suffer from chronic pain myself so I know how incredibly difficult the road to weight loss can be when you are in pain.I wish you the best of luck and look forward to reading more of your blog. What I have read so far has been great.

  42. Dee, revisit these words when you feel down, “I wanna show the world…” Those are powerful! You’ve got cheerleaders! I’m following you. Now go do it! Because guess what? I believe you when you say you want to make changes! You need to believe it too. You go!
