Favorites and Motivations – #DBlogWeek Day 6
Diabetes Blog Week, Day 6 – Topic: Favorites and Motivations. If you have been blogging for a while, what is your favorite sentence or blog post that you have ever written?

The pictures include shots of the diabetes guerrilla art banner created for Diabetes Art Day, shots from around town, and a few fun shots with Little G. Enjoy!
A Recipe for a Mascot
It’s day 24 of the Health Activist Writer’s Month Challenge and the prompt is: Health Mascot. The challenge for today was to come up with a mascot for ourselves, our medical issues, our health focus, whatever. And provide a visual if possible. Here’s my attempt a Mascot Recipe.
