Do Challenges Stop You?
I decided to write this blog because of the challenges that I have faced as a wahm. If you have been to my blog before you have seen that I am a mom of a 3 year old little boy. I also suffer from a sleep disorder called narcolepsy, which i have have had for 10 years. If you are not familiar with narcolepsy I will give you a little overview of what happens. PROMISE NOT TO BORE YOU!
What basically takes places is you get too much REM sleep ( meaning DREAM SLEEP) Yep I dream ALOT! lol.... anyway then because you don't sleep properly at night it makes you want to to sleep at different times in the day and you DON"T even know it. Also it causes dizziness, fainting, and high blood pressure because of the lack of proper sleep. While there is medication to help cope with the sleep disorder there is not a cure!
That being said its very difficult to be a mom and a wife with this condition. I have to schedule my day out with naps, house work, mommy things, and sleep. At this time I have to be without the medication so i have days that are very bad. I never give up though I keep doing my best to be a Wonderful mom and wife.
I would love to hear your feedback and the challenges you face! If you enjoyed this blog SHARE THE LOVE and tell others.

Overcoming Challenges
Someone recently asked me what I am most proud of about myself. At the time I couldn't think of anything. I was having one of those days where I was really getting down on myself. I was thinking of all the things I haven't done rather than all the things I have done.
One of the things I am most proud of is the way I don't let challenges in my life stop me. I have a few medical conditions including a chronic pain disorder and severe anxiety. Yet, I don't let it stop me from doing what I need to do and normally it doesn't stop me from what I want to do either. I realized that this was something I was proud of while reading this blog post over at http://empoweringsuccessonline.com.

" It'll Never Work "
Having multiple health issues, some of which are dangerous, I needed to find a way to change my circumstances and fight for my health. Adjustable Gastric Banding became my goal with my own body, and pessimistic attitude being my biggest hurdles.
I could either allow these illnesses to consume me or I could stand up and walk towards health.
Amy Steelman-Prueter gives the topic of whether or not challenges deter us from our goals a personal angle and I decided to do the same, examining my attitudes and behaviors.

Concerning Sleep Disorders and Preventive Care
Truly our body requires sleep, just as much as water and food. For five years, I whore a mask connected by a hose to a machine that forced air down my nose, because I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. This is a condition that causes you to stop breathing while you sleep. In time, it can be life threatening, because as you sleep your body also is struggling for air. It raises blood pressure, cause fatigue, and can lead to heart attack or stroke.
You can imagine that I looked like some kind of alien, or astronaut as I lay asleep with this contraption attached to my face; talk about stopping romance! Much like a fellow blogger, Amy Steelman-Prueter who suffers from another sleep disorder “narcolepsy” there is no quick fix.

Challenges
“Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they’re supposed to help you discover who you are”
There was a time in my life when challenges would literally cause me to become paralyzed by fear, anxiety and worry. I would ignore them as much as I could and I rarely, if ever, made any personal progress.
My life changed once I became brave enough to face up to the challenges that came my way.
How so you handle the challenges that life hands you?
