The Olsen Update

As you all know, Christmas is only 8 weeks away. (hard to think of it that way)   So the elves have been busy in my studio setting up for Christmas Mini sessions. I know tomorrow is Halloween, but I'm just to excited not to share the first of two mini sessions we'll be offering this holiday season. Normally I don't get too overly excited.

I've had a few people ask me what I want for my birthday and rather than responding to these messages one by one, I think I'll post it here for all to see.  What do I want? I want a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. I know that seems to be an odd thing to ask for. Maybe unreasonable, but even my little Alana asked for it for Christmas last year. I want my daughter to have the childhood that she once had. I want her to be free from finger pricks, site changes and getting her insu lin pump tubing stuck on door knobs. I want her to be able to pushed into the pool by her friends (with out the worries that it will kill her pump). I want her to be able to eat carbs with out counting them and indulge in chocolate and ice cream with out an injection or fear that her blood sugar will be high.  This is my simple birthday wish. Please donate to JDRF and type one diabetes research. Help us find that cure. Even if its a dollar. Every cent counts. Thanks. ♥

Time in my life I feel like I understand what is going on in my body.  The migraines I've been getting since I was a teenager, the pain throughout my body, the restlessness and mor...
