Living life with a chronic illness is definitely not easy. But I do my best to push through all the barriers this illness puts in front of me! In my heart and mind, I believe maintaining a positive outlook on all situations in life will carry us through to much better times! I hope you find the information that I provide both helpful and inspirational!

I am about to write a blog on mentoring and would love to reach people who are feeling hopeless. We all have found things that work and things that do not. I want to encourage people for follow bloggers who are up lifting and are willing to mentor or spend time listening and doing what ever might help.. Blogging is a gold mind area for this. All anyone has to do is follow someone who is willing to spend time with them sharing and listening. I find Skype messaging a great place to mentor more privately. I will cover that option. I have mentored in the past and have had mentors who have helped me in many ways. We all have the mentoring gene in us. It doesn’t take a lot of time. Occasional it will but usually issues and insight and knowledge is gained and the problem disapears or is managable. I hope you will talk about this as well on your blog. Repore needs to be built but readers can check out blogs and see if they trust or need or are interested in what the blogger has to say. The areas of mental health and parents are in need of mentors. If you can help get me in contact with the blogger you spoke of I would love to stand in her corner and lisrten and maybe help her see hope.

Good morning,
I absolutely love your idea to discuss how people can get more involved as mentors, and in mentorship programs. There are so many, and there’s an abundance of great training available as well. It’s so wonderful that you care about others, and want to help them to give back. Serving one another is one of the most important ways we can heal. I’ve been mentoring and doing patient advocacy in the chronic pain community for about 12 yrs, but I haven’t seen blogs as mentorship programs. That would be a special outreach for your blog I look forward to.
I’ve discussed this here significantly in the past, but use other methods as outreach. Every type of social media is awesome for connecting with people on a personal level. Why shouldn’t wordpress be any different? All the best as you go forward touching lives!

Well the turttle stuck her neck out and the blog has been published on my thoughts on mentoring. Lets see if it gets some traction. There are so many ideas that are not shared. Many times when I have read something I have thought,” that is so simple and apparent”. Thanks for your encouragement. Kind words are a motavation for all of us. I write because it has turned out to be great therapy for me and helps keep me level. So I selfishly write. And if it touches someone and helps that is an added cherry on top of the banna split. 😉

I suppose all writers and artists are selfishly passionate! Lol We have to keep expressing ourselves. But it’s also up to us how we use our talents.
I look forward to reading your new post! You are using your superpower for “good instead of evil” 😉 😉
