O Sole Mio Sundays — Baker of Boston’s Story
April 27, 2008 by kfabrizio
Most Sundays, I devote my blog to the stories of others who let their Moonlight times inspire them to let the positive blossom from the negative. Today, I’m selecting one of my fellow M.S. bloggers to be recognized in the Sunshine.
Today’s focus is on M.S. Patient and Blogger Julie Baker of South Boston. Say it with me: Baaahston. (Sorry, Julie, I couldn’t resist). Julie was diagnosed with M.S. just before me and for those who doubt an M.S. patient can get a grip on life and the disappointment of being handed a scary diagnosis quickly; apparently they haven’t met Julie through her writings. Plus the gal seems to have her own set of shoe-problems. Her dilemma makes me feel not so alone in my trivial post-diagnosis issues that I face each day. Take some time on this O Sole Mio Sunday to meet Julie and learn about her Lazy Journey. I promise she’ll make you laugh, perhaps even tear up a little, and she’ll pass along her own little brand of hope along the way.
Interested in submitting a story for O Sole Mio Sundays? What are the rules? There really aren’t any. I don’t care if your story is long or short. It doesn’t matter what your Moonlight situation was — whether M.S.- related or something else. Submit your stories to me and I’ll post them here. A lot of folks read this blog, so please let me know if you’d like your email address included with your story. Send along a photo if you’d like and I’ll post it, too. The only request I have is that you make a connection for my readers, explaining how your Moonlight inspired you. Describe the opportunities and the gifts you received from your Moonlight times and find a positive side to your story. Not everyone likes to talk about themselves, so if you have story about a loved one, a friend, someone who inspired you, send me their stories, too. As you can tell, we also take recommendations of nationally-published news stories that follow the themes portrayed here on Sunshine and Moonlight. Please submit appropriate links and citations when necessary. Click here to send Kim YOUR story! And, then be sure to visit Sunshine and Moonlight each Sunday for O Sole Mio Sundays!
