Last month, Norene Elverrillo from the Inspiring Women's Global Network (IWGN) contacted me and asked to feature myself (Lady of Lyme) as their Spotlight Inspirational Woman of the month. I did a double take when I read the email, and I was both utterly honored and humbled that she would choose me for something so wonderful. In my day to day life I don't see myself as inspirational; I see myself as a fighter just like all of you who join me on this journey yourselves, of those of you who join me in support and encouragement. I see myself as a regular girl who is just trying to get by in this crazy world of Lyme disease and share things along the way. So hearing from Norene was flattery at it's highest honor.
The Inspiring Women's Global Network is AMAZING because their motto is to "Engage, Empower, and Excite!" I took this segment from the IWGN page, as it does a great job of highlighting what they stand for:
"Inspiring Women’s Global Network (IWGN) is the premier business and social network for chronically-ill, women entrepreneurs. We are a community of vibrant entrepreneurs, authors, bloggers and achievers, both accomplished and aspiring, who are impacted by a chronic illness, “disability” or other health crisis. It is our conviction to live with purpose, take optimum care of ourselves and remain financially independent through entrepreneurship. We gather here to connect with like-minded women, share information and resources, give and garner support, inspire and be inspired and to have a little fun!"
IWGN is a network of women who got dealt a tough deck of cards, but are striving to inspire one another to rise above it and see their full potential. We can do whatever we put our minds to, these diseases can NOT take away our mind or our spirit. And I absolutely adore that mindset. It's filled with honesty but at the same time optimism. The community is one that you can join yourself by getting a membership and connecting with other women.
So, with that, I wanted to say THANK YOU to Norene and IWGN for choosing me, and for giving me a reason to blush 100 times over as I read her post. You can read it full HERE, but I also posted a teaser below. Please take a moment to check out my Spotlight piece on IWGN and click on over!
