Artist Spotlights Detained Just a Little

Beautiful image by Mallory Beth (submitted to the Creative Challenge Group)!

Good morning, everyone. I'm so sorry to disappoint those of you who were looking forward to the artist spotlights today. As many of you know, I was recently diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis). I've been in a pretty bad flare-up of symptoms over the last couple of weeks and am having terrible site reactions to the daily shots I recently started. In a nutshell, I really don't feel up to posting today. :( I'm hoping I can feature an artist later today and then one on Thursday and Friday, but I'll need to play it by ear. The hardest thing about having a chronic illness is planning anything! I'm used to being an active upbeat person with a love and excitement for life, but there are so many days now that I find myself in bed or on the couch "staring at my four walls". I just don't have the energy to do the simplist things some days.

Well, enough about me. Thanks for listening and understanding. I have the BEST readers and I'm so thankful for the encouragement and acceptance I receive from you. Hope you have a great day today! Big XO.

  13. I recently stumbled across your blog; what a happy accident! Truly I find your images such an inspiration, and can hardly believe the equipment you used. It has definetley reinstalled a faith in me that it's a creative eye that creates amazing images.
    I really hope you are feeling better tomorrow. A friend of my family has MS and it can be so hard just to face the world some days. You seem so positive and sunny though.

  15. Oh Vicki, I didn't hear this news yet. Please don't try to stick to a blogging scheule right now unless! it cheers you up or makes you happy. When you have energy and feel good, spend it doing things that will bolster you during the other times. I say this in hindsight. I was never very good at it myself when I was sick.

    Much love. And health.
