I want to do... something (for lack of a better word). I want to make my voice heard and speak for my daughter until she can learn to speak for herself, but I don't know how. It's frustrating when you feel like you have something to share, but no idea how to do it.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-21582630649516057582014-01-13T07:51:45.847-08:002014-01-13T07:51:45.847-08:00Moira!

And if YOU, someone who does so such amazing things for our community underestimates her worth, just think about the rest of us. I am guilty of doing things as simple as not sharing a status, or not signing a petition, or not participating in an art day because I think that small contribution won’t change anything, I want bigger and better and faster too! But the fact is, if we all do these little things, big things will happen. You are wanted. I promise. You already use your strengths…if you use them without being on a steering committee? You can still change the world! In fact, you are! Keep going!!!Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-4068728676824465972014-01-13T07:35:27.583-08:002014-01-13T07:35:27.583-08:00I feel like I've been empowered and kicking th...I feel like I've been empowered and kicking the heck out of it for a decade and a half now. I know I've helped a lot but lately I don't feel like my empowerment has a "home base" if that makes sense. While I don't mind making things happen on my own, I miss being part of the big team (For me it was JDRF. They don't seem to need me lately). My selfishness comes in that I want to be part of a team and interact with people and bond over it etc etc. I've been struggling lately with accepting that my time to get to do that may have come and now gone ... does not mean I won't stop with my mission (I raised $55k just last year alone). But ... I'm trying to balance my own selfish wants (being on a team that works toward our goals) with the possible reality (no one wants me) with the bottom line (does not mean I can stop. I have to accept). Gosh ... does any of that make sense?Moirahttp://www.despitediabetes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-47828893490711653562014-01-13T05:12:46.670-08:002014-01-13T05:12:46.670-08:00Meri, I'm glad you were able to go to this eve...Meri, I'm glad you were able to go to this event and that it made such a big impact on you.
