If you do what you love and love what you do you eliminate stress!

In this video there are subtitles that I added because it is hard to understand me if you aren't used to hearing me talk with a stutter. I added them so you didn't get frustrated and wonder what is she saying?! The stutter started September 7, 2010. After many tests at the hospital I came up empty handed and frustrated because once again I had no answers and a doctor who didn't believe me. I finally was able to get a hold of my neurologist who said that if the Myoclonic Seizures started and the stuttering is coinciding then stress triggered the stuttering. Trying to communicate became frustrating, but I had to learn how to communicate in a different way. Frustration is just an opportunity for learning and growing. After tossing many ideas around in my head about why something else could possibly be going wrong I came to the conclusion that nothing went wrong. Everything went exactly as planned and it turned out to be a blessing. How many people have a physical symptom that can be so easily recognized to let them know they are stressed? Many do not know they are stressed because they are so well adapted to it. I now have a tool to gauge my stress levels and I know when I need to pause and take some time out for me to release stress! I am now going to attempt to load this video that was recorded in the middle of September (hence the tank top and me being tan!)

Ending of Chapter 1 - The beginning of Chapter 2

I made this blog in the middle of September, but just now had a time to pull it together. For right now I'm not going to password protect it like I had planned, but I might in the future. So what is this about? Jumping back into the days when Xanga was so popular? In a way yes. This is different though. I created this blog after doing a lot of thinking and pondering on how I can reach a lot of people, be open about my journey so I can help others, learn to take my own advice, and keep family and friends updated on my life. This is the answer I found! Some of the updates will be like this and others will be videos like the one that I will be posting after I finish this. Just depends on what I'm up to that day. It took me awhile to realize that what I go through most people aren't used to so unconsciously when I explain something extremely serious I will always explain it in a positive, optimistic, and very honest way. I have wanted to reach out and help others with how I get through the windy roads in my life because you can never be sure if what you have to say will help somebody else. That's about it! I'll post the video right after this. (If I can figure it out!)
