Bringing awareness to a rare disease is no easy feat. Generally speaking, most people do not go out of their way to find a rare disease and although there are over 7000 rare diseases out there it usually takes yourself, a family member, or a friend to contract one before you even know it existed … ∞
Wait? What?! Some days are a bit of a challenge around home but we always try to find a way to makes things light and continue to look for the bright side as often as we can. Although a topic for a much longer series of posts, Terri has been diagnosed with a rare brain … ∞
I booked a try-on appointment at my favorite Apple Store (the one in Sherway Gardens) and went for the experience on a Saturday afternoon. I haven’t worn a watch in more than 20 years but the “cool” factor just couldn’t be resisted. I really just wanted to get a better look at what wearing one … ∞
