Hi my Peeps...Hope you have all survived all the tornados..they have been coming right at us everyday but missing us. My heart aches for all of the people affected by this terrible weather.

I just wanted to tell you that FDRS is looking for volunteers for the conference next year. They have not decided where it will be held. It was so fabulous this year it will be hard to top. If you are interested just go on the FDRS web site and tell them. They are just a super group of people and they have worked very hard to get organized. It is really impressive how they have accomplished so much in just a few years. All of the members that I have met were so nice. We can only accomplish goals by working together. We are facing so many problems in this world that we need all of our strength and human kindness to just try to do a little something where we can.

I was very touched this week watching Oprah's last shows. She is such a role model for all women. It is amazing how much she has helped the world. I agree with her that education is the answer. What we do here is try to educate as many people as we can reach about DD.

For those who have a holiday this weekend I hope it is dry wherever you are and that you have fun! Hugs, Grandma Sylvia

Hugs, Grandma Sylvia...This advice is purely my opinion and should be regarded as such! I am not a doctor. Please consult your doctor for medical treatment. If you want friendship and laughter through tears...this is the place for you!
