My First Vlog: Diabetes on Roller Skates!


Diabetes on Roller Skates from Angela Lee on Vimeo.

I promise to reduce my use of "uhm" if I vlog again! The type of lens I am trying to describe is a no-line bifocal! Haha. . .
The link to Lis' original post on her Joy Warrior campaign can be found here. Below is the lovely handmade postcard I received from her inspiring me to explore the subject of joy:

The lovely article "How to Lead a Joyous Life" by Susan Weed can be found at Our Inner Lives.
And, I am excited to announce that I will be participating in Dblog Week! That means each day next week I will be posting in response to a set topic related to life with diabetes. This will be a fun way to share with you a little bit more about my experiences and perspective.

  1. OMG!!! I haven't even watched yet ... I have to run out and am saving this for a quieter moment in my day ... but I am so SO thrilled to see you here. And now to hear you!

    And my prize arrived yesterday and I want to find a new journal and begin writing ... perfect timing my friend. The universe and you gently nudging me forward.

    more later! xo Lis

  2. Ahhhhh ....

    You are my roller skating Joy Warrioress!

    Such a beautiful sharing ... while I've known about your struggles with diabetes, honestly in my experience you always seem to be this Radiant, Joyfilled, Life embracing person ... but it helps to hear about those darker moments, to understand we all have some aspect of life that nips at our heels, challenging us to dig deeper and hold on tighter to Joy, life, hope, belief.

    You just blow me away with your beauty, wisdom, grace and fearlessness. And poetry! I love the idea of you roller skating yourself to your place of empowerment, freedom and well being.

    And that hat is super cute! I love hats but always feel silly when I wear one ... I think a hat (or bandana, headwrap, etc) must be part of the official Joy Warrior uniform.

    Keep telling your story ... there is so much grace and healing in your words and in you perspective.
