American Eagle Day
In honor of American Eagle Day, below are a selection of eagle photos that I’ve had the privilege to capture in northern Indiana during the last year or so.

Enjoy!
Happy Thanksgiving
Wishing a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone in the Diabetes Online Community!

I’m thankful that April, her dad, and I will be able to go to Louisville to have dinner with the rest of my family this evening. Happy Thanksgiving and lots of love, my friends!

With that in mind, the company invited fellow type 2 bloggers Kate Cornell, Phyllisa…

I had the pleasure of meeting Steve this summer, as he was a guest speaker at the Roche Social Media Summit in Indianapolis. Today, he shares thoughts on the experience so far. Thanks again, Steve! Almost 300 days ago I began (Project 365) climbing every day consecutively with the goal of raising awareness of Diabetes and empowering people affected by it.
