I had to add this. May 27, 2007 from one of my other blogs:
I’m on cloud nine. Thursday, I walked the Corporate Challenge. It was so cool. Lewis, Lolo, Ayanna and Mendy all came to support me. Mendy walked it with me. It was a 3.5 mile route in downtown Chicago. It was so fun. I took my cane in my backpack, just in case I needed it. We took our time and talked and enjoyed the scenery as we walked. It was such a wonderful experience and a beautiful sister moment for Mendy and I. I thought we finished dead last but I found out I was wrong. Everyone was cleaning up and having parties at their tents and I was getting tired so I told Mend, forget it, that I wanted to go my company tent but then we started talking about the finish line. Maybe I should finish. I think you should. Where is it? And she pointed. It was SO close!! I was like, “give me my cane!” And I took off!!! Mendy was not expecting that so she had to speed up some to catch me. Seeing that finish line, really gave me energy!! And the folks who had finished already were partying by them so Im hearing Crystal Waters singing, “100%, Pure Love” so we just kicked it to the finish line to the beat!! Three people who saw me cross cheered for me. Another guy saw my leg and then said. “You go, champion!” It was awesome. I called my Dad, then my mom! I was so feeling it. I’m still feeling it!! Lew hugged me! I love my husband!!! Ayanna hugged me! It was such a good moment. So I completed the 3.5 mile course in 1 hour, 20 minutes and 35 seconds and only used my cane for the last block and a half. Over the moon, dude. So now I’m looking for my next one. I also have some long range goals for some serious distance challenges….stay tuned. Life is so exciting. I feel like I’ve had a personal breakthough. Thank you, Jesus!!!

Avon Walk for Breast Cancer - June 2-3, 2007
http://walk.avonfoundation.org/site/PageServer?pagename=chic_home_2k7
Okay, so I just became an Avon lady and I'm thinking about doing the Avon Walk for Breast I don't think there is a big name walk for Osteo Sarcome. But watch out when I blow up, they'll be a walk. I mean a cancer that takes your leg should have a walk, shouldn't it!!!! Okay, end rant.
Its 2 days and 39 miles. Okay, don't panic, they have training and they have walking buddies to show you how to do it. I really want to do this and am thinking about setting up a team. I mean its over 4 months away so why not, right? Okay, so think about that. Maybe this could be a big summer Charity thing and an excuse to make Bella-Chicago T-shirts. Bella-Chicago is a networking group that I'm trying to get going...i have design ideas.
I'd like to get a group together from all ages and walks of life to walk, be crew, volunteer and donate. I think that would be so awesome. I like doing walks. I feel really good doing them, raising money for good causes and fighting disease - especially Diabetes and Cancer...MS is another one.
I'm thinking that the one legged girl doing a 39 mile walk is a great way to raise money for charity, who do you know that isn't going to donate when I ask them. They are also going to ask me if I'm crazy but they'll donate.
To quote the 'great poet-philosphers,' SaltNPepa, "She use what she got to get whatever she don't got.."

I must think I'm funny
Lew will be amused by the title of the blog, that's for sure. Okay, so here is yet another attempt at blogging my world, life, family, etc. My cousin Angie keeps asking me when I'm going to do this so here I go...again. I will try to do this weekly. I will try to spew as much creativity as possible and I will try to enjoy myself. The last one is not usually an issue. We'll see how it goes. I also plan to post some old thoughts and blog entries from my previous attempts at this so stay tuned.
