I am happy you enjoy my blog and recipes - I wish I could remember to post a bit more often, but I guess it's just part of the game (the fibro game that is). <br /><br />I have definitely thought about seeing if I could start organizing something here in MN to raise awareness, the difficulty comes in finding enough time (and energy to do it). I think what needs to be established first is some kind of Support Group (that is not associated with a medical facility - the only one I'm aware of is at the Courage Center near Mpls) - and from there, rally the members to join together to plan and coordinate some kind of event. Do you know others in the MN area that would want to be a part of an in-person support group - maybe we can start with that? <br /><br />Let me know if you might be interested in something like that :) Katrina Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067138968651202773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667823723219101521.post-29731495369161501612013-04-25T11:40:28.905-05:002013-04-25T11:40:28.905-05:00I love your blog and your recipes!

At least that way I know if I have totally screwed it up or not! lol I am also a fellow Minnesotan and Fibro fighter, I was just diagnosed last summer. I was curious if you ever considered trying to create an event for Fibromyalgia Awareness Day? Obviously, again too late for this year, but perhaps next? I was just looking online to see if MN had any events and came to the same conclusion you did. I think its sad that the only event we have is geared towards people that already live with Fibro and that certainly is not spreading awareness. If you'd be open to it, I would love to brainstorm some event ideas with you. Perhaps we could be the start of something really, really, awesome. Hope you are well!
