Sparkles

I am loving my shamballa bracelet. I love the colors, and sparkles. Just thought I'd share. Google and see where you can find one for yourself, how to make them or what color combinations may best suit your desires.

Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association

Some of our thyroid health friends have lost their thyroids due to cancer, so let's take a moment to share dialogue about Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month. The Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Association, Inc., www.thyca.org, has free materials available to you year-round, so I thought I would note a few.

Free education, support, and awareness flyers can be accessed at www.thyca.org. There are several resources that you can use for educational purposes, and to raise awareness. You can also e-mail thyca@thyca.org with your address and asking them to mail you brochures, American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) Neck Check cards, and plastic wallet cards.

Thank you, ThyCa!

Thank You, Brave Girls Club

This is my most popular pin this week, and it comes from the dolls at Brave Girls Club. They are bringing women together to empower one another to set their sights on doing whatever it is they want to do in their lives- big things, and embarking upon a global scale in living their mission. Thank you for your positive messages and for sharing dialogue. I love this pin, for many reasons, but most certainly for the foremost reason that we all have a heart! You can process the meaning from within and then share dialogue as you feel with others. Cheers!

Weekend in Bloom

TGIF! Have a great weekend, dolls, and take some time to reflect, see your loved ones and observe nature. Flowers always brighten my day. They drawn beautiful creatures, such as hummingbirds, that I find completely captivating. Their flutter amazes me. They are so zippy. Creation is a beautiful thing. My affinity for flowers is shared by many, so I'm sharing a few pictures below of sunflowers I captured in Wisconsin the end of August, and some lovely arrangements shared by friends on Instagram just yesterday.

May your weekends be fresh, fun and freeing. Cheers! Shemeka 

I Love Hair!

Styles and colors I am seriously loving.

Color Me Blue

I'm loving shades of blue, glitter and stripes. I found a few of my favorite things on Pinterest. Thought I'd share them with you.

Dear Thyroid

I have days when I get hit with panic, anxiety, and fatigue (waking up at 5AM only to fall asleep again for a "nap" by 830/9AM), resting as the time goes by. It's days like this where I now know that it's my disease - hypothyroidism - that's causing me a minor setback in my day to day living. There were days when I would forget that I'm sick because I'd look great, but felt crummy.

 I've come to a point of acceptance and acknowledgment, and it's been a journey, one that I'm blogging about and sharing with others, particularly several advocates within the thyroid community. The community I refer to consists of people who I have reached out to, such as thyroid health bloggers, advocates and those who have connected with me as well to share their stories, dialogue and allow me to thyrant (thanks friends at Dear Thyroid).

The friends at Dear Thyroid provide an amazing outlet for thyrants, support and people resources, they are known mostly for their Dear Thyroid Letters.  I've had my public thyrants, but my letter is one I'm working on, cause I struggle with my hypothyroidism. Do you? Have you written your letter? If not, what are you waiting on? Make new friends at the Dear Thyroid Organization. Write on!
