First Blog

For years everyone has been telling to start blogging. Up till now I've just used Facebook as my platform to share....EVERYTHING! But since I'm trying to start my business, I want to be able to share with everyone. Tonight was a great example of what I want to share. When I was putting my 9 year old son to bed we had a long chat. He wanted to know why I was on the computer all day. I explained to him (a) I was having a slight flare (courtesy of Lupus) so I needed to be in bed all day and (b) trying to have a successful campaign on Indiegogo took lots of work. (Gotta love being able to kill two birds with one stone)I was explaining how I want the Roll & Go to help better everyone's lives not just ours. I reminded him of why I believe in this so much. I want to not only have a product that helps make peoples lives easier but provides enough profit to share with others. He knows how much giving back means to me, it's the core of who I am. I remember when I was a kid and volunteering at homeless shelters. Something about those experiences has always held a special place in my heart. I also want to spread Lupus Awareness. Our lives have been drastically changed since my diagnosis. I know how difficult it's been for me but sometimes I forget it's difficult on my husband and kids too. He almost made me cry tonight when he said, "Well maybe one day you'll have enough money to donate to find a cure for Lupus". I'm really hoping one day he's right.
