I am all about family, as you can tell by the pic. We were celebrating my Dad's 70th birthday!

I am the one all the way to the right, in the purple jacket.

I work full time in a hospital and part time at a movie theater, which I have been a member

of for many years.

I just love what life has to offer, but I didn't always feel this inspired.

I was diagnosed with pseudo tumor cerebri in 2001. For those of you who know what this condition

is, it is extremely painful and treatments are even worse.

I took the advice of a physician who I admire deeply. I lost over 100 pounds, and corrected my condition.

I still have weight to lose, and I am determined to do just that,  but sometimes get discouraged and stressed.

Hope to hear more inspiring stories from you, and learn some new things.
