Just Listen

Hi Guys! I recently finished reading a book called Just Listen. I know a lot of you reading this have kids and I would honestly recommend this book. The book is written by Sarah Dessen who in my opinion is one of the best Young Adult authors. I think most people will interpret the lesson a different way but there is one common theme through it all. Just listen. Have you ever sat down and listened to someone’s story? No judgments you just sat there and honestly listened. If everyone did that I think in so many different aspects the world would be better. One those being RSD. If random people, doctors, scientist and even our own families really listened to us we could find a cure. Listening helps more than you think. Sometimes we just need someone to understand whether it’s listening to a child being bullied, or just something as simple as a teenage love problem. Listening is definitely a powerful thing. Sometime during this week I want you all to Just Listen. Listen to the lyrics in a song, listen to your friend’s problem, or listen to a fellow RSD patient. Whatever you chose just know that it’s helping in a big way. I love you all! Stay strong and keep fighting.

Back to School Blog!

Hey guys! I haven’t gotten a chance to write a blog in a while! I’ve been really busy getting back into school but I hope you’re all doing well! RSD Support and Hope was taking a bit of a break but we’re just about ready to get back into the swing of things! Next up for us were going to finish some business paperwork and then start writing grants! I’m really excited for things to get bigger and better. Have you guys heard that it’s Invisible Illness Awareness Week? The whole point of this week is too obviously spread awareness! Do it with any resources that you have! You could just post a note on Facebook or you could tell someone about CRPS/RSD and what you’re going through. It’s truly amazing when you can make someone understand that what you’re going through is real. I hope you all have an amazing pain free week! Keep fighting! Love you guys!
