Happy New Year! (Marci)

Happy New Year to all my Diabetessisters!  We have a very exciting year ahead of us ladies, especially our upcoming Weekend for Women.  I hope each and every one of you makes it here to beautiful North Carolina in May for this historic event. 

I would like to introduce myself, in the hopes that each of you reading this blog will take a moment to introduce yourselves to me.  My name is Marci Williams and I live in Greensboro NC with my husband of two years, Gerald.  We are very blessed that my children and their families live here as well; which makes spending lots of time spoiling our two grandchildren very fun and easy to do.  I have worked for the same place almost twelve years and about six months ago we became fully integrated into FedEx Express – Latin America Caribbean.  

I was diagnosed with type II diabetes about four years ago.  At the time of my diagnosis, like many of you, I was overwhelmed.  Not just because of the diabetes itself, but with all the other conditions and concerns that seem to like to follow type II around:  high blood pressure, high cholesterol, weight problems.  It took me a few years to get it all figured out, but I am happy to say that today I lead a very full and healthy life in spite of the diabetes. 

Part of my journey with type II diabetes led me to discover that I really enjoy physical activity.  I practice yoga daily as well as walk a few miles on a daily basis too.  I have also become very interested in cycling since I rode in my first Tour de Cure for American Diabetes Association last June.  I will begin training for TdC 2010 in the next few weeks. 

Being a volunteer is another really big part of who I am.  Some of my most cherished relationships are the result of being a volunteer.  It’s amazing to me that most of us get involved because we think we have something to give – but in the end when we volunteer we get back far more than we could possibly ever give! 

Thank you for allowing me to introduce and I really am interested in meeting you – so please do leave me a message.  Please feel free to ask questions if you want to know something specific; I will do my best to answer. 

Until next week,

Be Well,

Marci
