In case the title of this post doesn’t give it away, I am currently reading Mireille Guiliano’s best-selling book, French Women Don’t get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure.

For many years I used this blog to tell my funny parenting stories about raising a boy on my own.
Along the way I was diagnosed with Hashimotos disease (the same thyroid disease as Oprah, and yes, we can run companies).
Now that my son is almost out of the house, I thought I'd take you on a humorous journey into the land of thyroid.
Since starting this blog in 2003 I have become known for my inspirational blog project
8 Women Dream.
By day I am considered a professional blogger, freelance writer, author, copywriter, content development authority,
and Internet marketing expert.
Starting January 2012, I will begin sharing my thyroid stories with all the humor you've grown to love.
Come watch me as I show the world that living with an autoimmune disease can be funny and empowering --
because you can't ever give up on yourself.
The posting schedule will be M/W/F. Really.
