Jan 2012 ME Story: Kassy

I don’t know if you have ever woke up in the middle of the night in one of those, “Oh my gosh moments?”

Well, I did last night.

I was thinking about what I would say in this post before I went to bed and then woke up in the middle of the night realizing that today’s ME Story which is shared by my friend, Kassy, is our 12th story on Becoming Visible 4ME which means …

We have now been in existence for a full year!

It just doesn’t seem possible does it? Wow! When I started Becoming Visible 4ME I wasn’t sure if the idea would take off because there would only be one story a month.

But I was wrong.

Even more exciting, because of the courage of the first 12 people who shared their stories (thank you so much) I now have stories lined up through April and many of these contacted me and offered their stories!

That is exactly what I wanted!

So my dear friend Kassy not only has the honor of sharing her wonderful story for the month of January but she is also helping us celebrate our one year anniversary!

You definitely want to check out her story. She shares the 5 negative and 5 positives of living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). I was very impressed and moved!

You can access her story by going here.

One last note. To start off our second year and Valentines Day, Giles Meshan author and founder of Getting Well from ME will be our next story for February.

I have to tell you … the more stories that I read and receive, the more excited I get about the impact we can all make by sharing our stories, 1Story@aTime!

Determined to continue forward
