Welcome

First, this blog is surrendered to my Lord, Jesus Christ.  It is because of Him that I am gifted with the ability to write.  I am reminded daily, that it is by HIS grace and not MY merit that I will accomplish what he has called me to do.  This blog, therefore, is a vehicle to complete “the good work that He has started in me.”

Second, thank you for visiting,  4Walls and A View – a personal, auto-biographical-type blog that chronicles the daily journey of my life with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and Fibromyalgia (FMS).

Third, my purpose for founding and authoring this blog is several fold.

1.  I wanted to ‘write what I know’ as one of my favorite professors was so fond of repeatedly reminding me of during my days at Oral Roberts University (ORU).

2.  I wanted to create a blog that anyone living with ME or FMS, could read, draw inspiration and strength from, and know for at least a moment or two, they were not alone.

3.  I wanted to create a space where you can come if you know someone who is living with either of these illness, and can get an ‘inside’ view of what living with ME and FMS really looks like.

4.  I wanted to share the things I have learned after living with these illness(es) since December 1992.

5.  I wanted to write it all down so I would have a written history of this journey I have unwittingly found myself on.

Thank you so much for checking out my blog. I invite you to grab a cup of coffee, find a cozy chair, and meet me here, as I chronicle what it looks like to be someone living with ME and FMS.    If you have any questions, suggestions or comments, please feel free to use my contact form.  I do my best to respond as quickly as possible.

Note:  Please feel free to contact me me, at anytime, through my contact form.  I do my best to respond within 24-48 hours!

Again, welcome to 4Walls and AView!  I look forward to getting to know you!
