Inspirational people, moments and pictures in my life 2015

There are so many things that have happened to me from 2014-2015 and even though it has been the toughest two years of my life I know there were so many good moments even if they were small, many small memories made a huge impact for me and helped keep me sane.

Many of the women in these pictures have shown me the reason of "strong" and I don't mean that regular talk of someone being strong... I mean the strongest women I have ever come across in my life. They have been through so much yet they still are standing when they could easily give up.

I am obviously very proud of the TENC because not many people realize that we have no funding and there is only a small tiny group that pulled it off through all the ups and downs. I am so proud to be apart of it and to be able to make a difference each year. One day I truly see us with thousands of men and women standing and finally being heard..

From this point on many more moments will be captured and I can't wait to share them with everyone.

The Faces of Endo Part II

Well here we are again making strides and seeing faces of women all over the world take part in "The Faces of Endo" project I started I think it was October. So many women have come forward to have their picture posted and we have reached at this time 663 faces!!! only 337 left until the March and I really feel that we can do this. 1000 faces from all of the world shouting "Change is needed, Awareness, Endometriosis, Stop ignoring us" I can not wait until this March because it is going to be one the greatest things I have ever experienced :)

If you haven't sent your picture in please do.

The Faces of Endo

When I first started this project I didn't expect this many women to take part. Already there are 343 and I think its so amazing. It really puts things in perspective doesn't it? I am so thankful for all these women I have met via Facebook but mostly Twitter. Twitter has been my life line, and whenever I am low there is no other places I would rather be then with thousands of women on at the same time supporting each other. Facebook you have to watch what you say but on Twitter I can be me and it doesn't matter to me what people think. I don't let people I know follow me because I would prefer to have that place as somewhere I can go without being judged. The Faces of Endo has made me realize that there are so many of us and that our voice really needs to be heard. Enough is Enough already. Our own families believe what these doctors say and expect us to get better after surgery or through meds, pregnancy and hysterectomy. They don't seem to understand that 80% of Endo sufferers know more than them. It is really sad to be honest, but what is really sad is that we are living it and at times barely hanging on. When will the world know what this disease is? How loud are we going to be when march together at the Million Woman March? I am going to be loud that is a give in, but I hope that our presents is what does it and catches the attention all around the world. We will not back down, We will be heard and we will not suffer like this anymore at the hands of untrained skilled surgeons or tormented by doctors that have no idea what Endo is and make us feel so little instead of just listening to us. 

WE WILL BE HEARD!!!
