My First Posting on My Blog

Okay so I have been playing with this idea for awhile and now I am actually making it happen. For those of my friends who do I know will not read my blog, I better introduce to the rest of you who may actually read my scribble. Who knows, I may even throw in some videos here and there.

My name is Steffanie and I live in a town where everyone (well, almost everyone knows my name or someone in my family) so needless to say there is never a dull moment. I love to be active...and who wouldn't when you live in the Sierra Nevada’s!!!! Between camping, hiking, horseback riding, gardening, swimming, fishing....and everything else that would go with it. As much as I love that stuff, I don't always don't get to do what I love due to an unusual brain disorder, intracranial hypertension that keeps me down. 

Basically, it squishes my brain...think of a sponge that you use to wash dishes. The sponge soaks up water and when you tighten your hand up over the sponge in a fist, the water rushes out of it because it has nowhere else to go. My diagnosis happened by accident & to be honest, if it had not been for my boss at the time, it probably would have missed diagnosed for awhile. I was blessed to have it diagnosed when I did and to be able to educate/advocate for others who may have an illness who don't otherwise don't look ill.

So hang on for an almost daily check-in as I just journal and hopefully inspire other to live their lives to the fullest. Like it has been said before, "Life is short, so live it to the fullest...ALWAYS!!!"
